Frequently Asked Questions
What is Apex Trader Funding's daily loss limit?
Apex Trader Funding's daily loss limit is not enforced as a percentage (check dollar limits per account size). For the $25,000 account, the daily limit is based on the trailing drawdown floor.
What drawdown type does Apex Trader Funding use?
Apex Trader Funding uses trailing intraday (floor moves with every tick). The floor moves up in real-time as your equity reaches new highs during the session.
How do I recover from drawdown on Apex Trader Funding?
After a drawdown, reduce your position size to 50-75% of normal to protect your remaining buffer. On Apex Trader Funding with trailing intraday (floor moves with every tick), be aware that the floor may have moved up, leaving you less room than you started with. Focus on high-probability setups and avoid revenge trading.
What percentage drawdown is too much to recover from on Apex Trader Funding?
If you have used more than 60-70% of your max drawdown on Apex Trader Funding, recovery becomes mathematically difficult because you need increasingly larger percentage gains to get back to breakeven. For the $25,000 account with $1,500 max drawdown, a drawdown of $1,050 or more puts you in the danger zone.
