50K: $3,000 target (6%), NO daily limit on evaluation (set to 100% here so the daily bar never binds), $2,500 (5%) trailing INTRADAY drawdown — PAPA's intraday-high trail is the closest model. One-day minimum.

$2,000 EOD trailing drawdown (moves only on end-of-day balance) that locks permanently at $50,100 once the $52,100 safety net is reached; hitting it CLOSES the account. 50% consistency (no day ≥50% of profit since last payout). Payout ladder $1,500→$3,000 over 6 payouts, 5 qualifying days ($250+), min $500, 100% split — the account closes after payout #6. Apex 4.0 from ~2026-03.
