How Apex EOD Trailing Drawdown Works
Apex recalculates your trailing drawdown at 4:59 PM ET each day based on your end-of-day balance. This means you can go deep into drawdown intraday and recover without breaching — but your closing balance is what matters.
This is the most futures-friendly drawdown model. Scalpers and day traders who close flat benefit enormously. Swing traders who hold overnight positions face more risk. PropSim models this exact EOD recalculation.
