Distance-to-breach calculator

Floor = highest-equity − $2,500 (locks at $50,100 once you've banked $2,600+). Includes open P&L — your wick low is what counts.

What ends Apex accounts

Unrealized spikes ratchet the floor up — then a retrace breaches you. A green run to a new high you never closed still raises the floor. Give it back and you can breach without a single closed loss. This is the Apex killer.
No DLL means no daily circuit-breaker. Unlike Topstep, an Intraday Apex account won't auto-stop you at a daily loss — the trailing floor is the only line.

Watch the Apex floor move, live

AlgoProven tracks the intraday trailing floor in real time — including unrealized — and warns before the wick breaches.
