⚡ Apex just changed its drawdown rules. Here's what funded traders need to know.

Apex Trader Funding updated its EOD trailing drawdown calculation last week — and if you have an active funded account, the change affects your max contract size. Here's the short version:

AccountOld Max DrawNew Max DrawImpact
$50K$2,500 trail$2,200 trail⚠ Tighter
$100K$3,000 trail$3,000 trail✓ No change
$150K$4,500 trail$4,500 trail✓ No change

Bottom line: $50K account holders should reduce position size by 1 contract until you clear the 12% profit milestone.
