How it works

The threshold is a ratchet, not an anchor.

It starts at Starting Balance − Max Drawdown, then climbs with your peak balance (realized and unrealized, on Intraday). It only ever moves up — never down.

Threshold = min(PeakDrawdown, Lock Level)

Once your peak gets high enough, the threshold locks. On an evaluation, it locks at your profit target. On a Performance Account, it locks at Starting Balance + $100 — Apex's Safety Net. After that, your downside is fixed and you're playing with house money.
