2. How you can fail: drawdown
Apex Trader Funding: EOD trailing (EOD product; intraday-trailing product also sold).
"Max drawdown" is how far your account can fall before the evaluation ends. "EOD" (end of day) means the limit is checked against your balance at the close, so swings during the day don't count against the limit until the day ends. "Trailing" means the limit moves up as your account reaches new highs, so profits you give back still count. "Intraday trailing" means the limit follows your balance in real time, including open trades.
3. Getting paid
- 100% split
- min 5 trading days of $250+ (50K)
- 50% consistency
- min $500
- safety net = DD+$100
- max 6 payouts per PA (50K caps $1,500-$3,000)
In short: you keep up to 100% of profits, subject to the conditions above.
