Drawdown in plain words
Each program sets a loss limit: an account that falls to it fails. How the limit moves depends on the drawdown type.
End-of-day trailing
EOD Trail, EOD Trail (No Activation Fee)
The limit trails the highest end-of-day balance by the maximum drawdown. It moves only at the daily close and never down; swings inside the day do not move it.
Example: Apex Trader Funding EOD Trail on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 maximum drawdown. The limit starts at $48,000. If a day closes at $51,000, the limit moves up to $49,000 at the close; a losing day after that does not move it back down. (data checked )
Intraday trailing
Intraday Trail, Intraday Trail (No Activation Fee)
The limit trails the highest point the account reaches during the session by the maximum drawdown and moves up as soon as a new high is made. It never moves down.
Example: Apex Trader Funding Intraday Trail on a $50,000 account with a $2,000 maximum drawdown. The limit starts at $48,000. If the account reaches $51,000 during the session, the limit moves up to $49,000 straight away, even if the day then closes lower. (data checked )
Daily loss limit
