Apex Trader Funding's Legacy accounts use an intraday trailing drawdown, on both the evaluation and the Performance Account (PA). The drawdown type, previously shown as Trailing, is now Intraday Trailing for every Legacy size.
The trailing threshold follows the highest unrealized balance reached during trades, not closed-trade values. It stops moving once that balance exceeds the starting balance by the drawdown plus $100. Traders should expect the threshold to rise with open profits, even if the trade is later closed lower.
Full rules are on the Apex Trader Funding firm page.
