Trailing vs EOD Drawdown

  • Apex (Intraday): If you hit $52,000 peak then close at $51,000, your stop-out is still $49,500 (from the $52K peak).
  • Topstep (EOD): Only your end-of-day balance matters. Intraday swings do not move your stop-out.

Pro Tips

  • Update your peak balance after every profitable day
  • Stop trading when buffer drops below 50%
