Progress as of 11-07-25
According to Apex draw down rules, I hit the max intra-day draw down limit and first blew up accounts 7, 8, 9, and 10 on Oct 30th, and then blew up accounts 16, 17, and 18 on Nov 3rd, as you can see in the graph it’s reset to 0. So essentially, I have to start over on those accounts. I sound calm now, but I was not calm when that happened. I was experiencing almost an emotional melt-down because I worked so hard to build my profits up (as you can see from the last report out, I was doing well). To me, this is a big set-back in terms of a certain time-line I had in mind for getting funded. After several days I picked myself back up. I reviewed what I did wrong, and it was clear and I have no one to blame but myself. I got careless and complacent. Two biggest violations for my strategy are that I 1) oversized and 2) failed to put in a stop. So, I deserved that loss because it was such a basic rule that I violated. On the positive side, I realized that I did follow an important personal rule - to not copy-trade to all my accounts when trading a B or C setup. So, I’m glad I did have some structure and logic to when to copy-trade to which group of accounts. Some traders may not like these prop-firm intra-day live draw down rules, but when I think about it deeper, I would have kept going and not really think about what I am doing. It’s definitely a wake-up call for me. “Keep Calm and Carry On”.
Below is a screenshot of my Apex Trader Funding Evaluation Accounts on Apex’s platform as of November 7, 2025 (of which the above summarization is based on). Note, accounts 16, 17, and 18 didn’t show up here I think due to the timing of when those accounts will be reset and show up again.
Note: This is a direct screenshot from my Apex Dashboard. My Apex account numbers have been blurred out for security purposes. (To understand how to read these charts, refer to Apex’s explanation on their website.)
