Apex Trailing Drawdown Calculator
An Apex loss floor does not stay where you left it. It trails your account's high-water mark and never moves back down. This tool shows where that floor actually sits, how much room you have left, and whether a payout request would clear the consistency rule. Figures re-checked on the official help center.

Apex thresholds by account size
| Account | Drawdown | Profit target | Daily loss limit (EOD eval.) | Safety Net | Minimum balance to request |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,000 | $1,500 | $500 | $26,100 | $26,600 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | $3,000 | $1,000 | $52,100 | $52,600 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | $6,000 | $1,500 | $103,100 | $103,600 |
| $150,000 | $4,000 | $9,000 | $2,000 | $154,100 | $154,600 |
Intraday and end-of-day drawdowns share the same distance: what changes is how fast the floor climbs, not how far away it sits. The intraday evaluation has no daily loss limit.
Frequently asked questions
How is the Apex trailing drawdown calculated?
The loss floor follows your account's high-water mark and never comes back down. It equals that high minus the drawdown amount for your account size. On a $50,000 account the drawdown is $2,000: if the account reaches $51,200, the floor moves to $49,200 and stays there, even if the balance falls back.
What is the difference between end-of-day and intraday drawdown?
The end-of-day version recalculates once a day, on your closing balance. The intraday version tracks every tick, unrealized gains included: a trade that runs up and gives it all back can move your floor even though you never banked a dollar. The distance itself is identical in both cases.
When does the floor stop climbing?
On a funded account it locks once your high reaches the Safety Net, that is your starting balance plus the drawdown plus $100. The floor then locks at your starting balance plus $100 and never moves again, whatever profit you build. These are two different amounts and they must not be confused: on a $50,000 account the Safety Net sits at $52,100 and the locked floor at $50,100. On an evaluation the floor keeps trailing your high; locking depends on the platform and this calculator does not assume it.
What is the Apex 50% consistency rule?
When you request a payout, no single day may represent 50% or more of the net profit accumulated since your last approved payout. One outsized day can therefore hold up the request until your other days have balanced the total.
Does this replace the Apex dashboard?
No. Use it to prepare a session and to understand the mechanics. The figures that count are the ones on your dashboard and on the official help center, and they can change without notice.
