Trailing Threshold and Rtrader

[@samuellemma6503]

Moral of the story, trade small and have a relatively aggressive take profit strategy or scalp.

[@brainsb4emotions964]

The best video explanation of Trailing Threshold that I have seen yet. It all is beginning to make sense now. Be a profit taker & not a long term "investor". Those wobbly waves will kill your account if you don't act fast.

[@rubberbandman3rd]

This guy literally blew up multiple eval accounts just to show us how trailing stop works...I gotta applaud the commitment.

[@m.o.n.g.o]

You literally gave a good explanation. I literally understand. I now literally know how to trade with Apex. I literally appreciate this video. I hope I don't literally fail.

[@namir91]

This guy is literally just angry at literally everyone who asks for clarification on this weirdly restrictive trailing threshold. Literally unless you scalp they literally don’t want to fund you but literally I think it’s just a way for them to collect money from people blowing evals. Also this guy sounds really arrogant he needs to chill and stop talking so condescendingly

[@meriqan1]

Lol shouldve watch this before trading today! I got it! Dont love it but ill work with it. You should bring this video back 😅 🍻

[@westgirl21]

All makes sense. The only thing I want to clarify, can unrealized losses push you over the threshold? For example if unrealized losses lowers your account balance below the threshold that shouldn't trigger the trailing threshold?

[@ApexTraderFunding]

An unrealized loss is still a loss. your balance cant go infinitely down hoping it comes back up before you close. if at anytime your balance hits the trailing threshold the account will trigger and fail

[@texaschainsawmass]

I guess if you’re in eval take profit as much as possible not waiting for retracement just make sure your tp is in a possible area for supply and demand so you won’t get out of the trade early. Maybe after eval and get a PA account buffer you can trade as long as you want because the trailing threshold won’t hunt you after meeting certain profit..

[@forextalent]

Is clear to understand but the fact is it will let you gamble and fail the evaluation easily

Doesn’t the 100k static PA account have the trailing threshold?

[@ApexTraderFunding]

no

[@montedickson9253]

I have a 25k account when does my trailing threshold stop

[@TravelsoftheCat]

I know this has been answered a few times, AND I HAVE READ THE FAQ ON THE WEBSITE, but I just want to make sure. Using a $300,000 account as an example, there is a static -$7,500 trail of the highest Account Balance. BUT once funded, it only trails up to $300,100 maximum, correct? So in an extreme example, I can take the account from $300,000 to $400,000, and the Trailing Threshold will stay at $300,100, even if I take the account again with an extreme example, from $400,000 down to $301,000, as long as the Account Balance DOES NOT touch $300,100, the Funded Account WILL NOT be lost, is this correct? Thanks in advance!

[@ApexTraderFunding]

correct

[@m.o.n.g.o]

That's an extreme great example. Getting the account out of the $300,100 is extremely tough. One piece of bad news that moves market in the wrong direction and you're done.

[@mrwolf31]

@@ApexTraderFunding It sounds like static account then where your minimum drawdown stays at one place. You can have unrealized profit of 1000 and even if you don't take it, the static account stays the same. Now with PA trailing account, it sounds similar to static account. What's the point of EOD or Static then?

[@Pakifx]

well had to watch two times but it's worth it.

[@Lavishcoconut]

Hi so on a50k let's say I have a 6,000 dollar day as long as I don't hit that 52,500 I should be good correct? Because I have wiggly room of 3.5k of my own profits to trade with?

[@meriqan1]

No! Subtract trailing stop from $506000 and your new stop is $503500. This also varies depends on how high price went while u were in a trade.

[@ApexTraderFunding]

on a 50k pa trail stops at 50100

[@Gem20ish]

Will you guys ever offer higher static accounts? 200k static? 300k static?

[@ApexTraderFunding]

no

[@thomasborruso3143]

So you guys don't want to let profits run with BE stop . You want trailing stops to lock in profits ?

[@ApexTraderFunding]

You can do stops however you want to just be aware of the trailing stop.

[@namir91]

Yes basically. They won’t say it but BE stops will blow your account because of unrealized profits you need to trail very close and essentially scalp moves

I have question about PA account. It sounds like static account then where your minimum drawdown stays at one place. You can have unrealized profit of 1000 and even if you don't take it, the static account stays the same. Now with PA trailing account, it sounds similar to static account. What's the point of EOD or Static then?

[@ApexTraderFunding]

not sure whqt you mean

[@mrwolf31]

@@ApexTraderFunding I am curious how the trailing in a paid account works since it says "it stops trailing after certain amount". For example, let's say your trailing drawdown is $2000 for an account, if you make $1000 day 1 in PA account, and $1000 next day and another $1000 next day, but 3rd day you lose $2050, will you lose the account since it went over your drawdown?

[@darrellmartin4702]

@@mrwolf31 ot ot drops below the trailing drawdown it will fail. The trailing drawdown stops at $100 plus the starting balance

[@mrwolf31]

@@darrellmartin4702 I see. Can you please give me an example in numbers? Like if I have 100k account with 3k trailing threshold. The first day if I make +$1000 profit, the next day I can't go below $101,100 balance, and if I lose $500, then next day I can't go below $100,600? It doesn't matter what my unrealized PNL is beyond the balance plus 100? I just find it a bit confusing without actual numbers, and I haven't found any video explaining it that way.

So basically the trailing stop is a fixed absolute value from the highest equity ?

yes

What happens if you take partial profit?

taking profit does not inpact it ot trails from highest open pnl
