Apex EOD trailing: distance to breach

EOD (end-of-day) — not the separate Intraday trailing product. Corpus trail on this page: 4% / $1,000. Floor = peak − trail. Distance = current equity − floor. No signup.

Mode
Trailing · EOD
Equity floor
$24,000
Distance to breach
$1,000

Worked example (25k): start $25,000, peak still $25,000, trail $1,000 → floor $24,000. At flat equity the distance to breach is $1,000.

Floor never rises when equity falls — only a new peak lifts it. PropSurvival is not affiliated with Apex Trader Funding. Arithmetic on published EOD rules only.

Apex Trader Funding's EOD Trailing Drawdown Evaluation (EA) models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at the 25k account size: the threshold tracks the highest end-of-day closed balance and never moves back down. The corpus records no lock condition — the floor keeps trailing for the life of the evaluation.
