My rithmic account wouldn't allow me to log in and I couldn't close my positions on ninja trader. My max run up was over a 10%. 50k account, made 3K on the day from 52,500 to 55,500. but couldnt close my position and it " trailed to my max drawdown of -2,000" at 53,000. meaning my position fell all the way back to literally the mark to PASS THE CHALLENGE. They read it as a fail. absolute joke these guys. Hi Jerome, Thank you for reaching out to us. Your account APEX-558824-04 was liquidated because your unrealized balance fell below the trailing drawdown threshold. Your account reached an Unrealized Peak Balance of $55,133, which set your Trailing Drawdown limit at $53,000. The system automatically liquidates the account as soon as the unrealized balance drops below that limit. Sometimes, there can be a small delay between the time your account balance goes below the liquidation threshold and when the account is liquidated. Even if it later moves back, crossing the threshold still triggers liquidation. Here’s the trade that led to the liquidation: You can find more information on how the Trailing threshold works here: Intraday Trailing Drawdown Explained. Regarding next steps, since this is an evaluation account, you may continue trading by purchasing a new evaluation at your convenience. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Kind regards, Ivan Support
