What is the maximum drawdown at Apex Trader Funding?

Last verified: 2026-03-21 | Official rules

Intraday trailing drawdown is the strictest type. Your breach level moves up in real-time with every new equity high. On a $25,000 account, if your equity touches $25,300 even for a second, your floor immediately moves to $23,800 -- even if you give back all those gains. Every tick of unrealized profit permanently raises your floor.

Drawdown by phase:

  • -Evaluation: fixed dollar amount (trailing intraday (floor moves with every tick))
  • -Funded: fixed dollar amount (trailing intraday (floor moves with every tick))

Drawdown by account size:

  • -$25,000: $1,500 max drawdown (floor at $23,500)
  • -$50,000: $2,500 max drawdown (floor at $47,500)
  • -$100,000: $3,000 max drawdown (floor at $97,000)
  • -$150,000: $5,000 max drawdown (floor at $145,000)
  • -$250,000: $6,500 max drawdown (floor at $243,500)
  • -$300,000: $7,500 max drawdown (floor at $292,500)
