Apex Trader Funding: evaluation rules
Rules checked as of How we source this
Apex Trader Funding sells evaluation accounts for trading futures: you pay a fee, trade a simulated account under fixed rules, and if you meet the profit target without breaking a loss limit you may move to a funded or simulated-funded stage with payouts. This page records the rules Apex Trader Funding publishes for its current plans, in account sizes from $25,000 to $150,000, as of 27 Oct 2026.
The figures that matter most for sizing are the maximum contracts, the daily loss limit and the drawdown. The drawdown type changes how much room you have: an end-of-day trailing limit moves up only with closing balances, an intraday trailing limit follows your highest open equity, and a static limit stays put. Fees, payout splits and payout conditions are shown as published, along with whether the fee is monthly or one-time.
Prop firms change their rules and prices often, sometimes weekly. Every value below links to the page we took it from, and anything we could not confirm from the firm's own pages is listed under “Not verified”. This is a record of published terms, not a recommendation or a ranking, and the firm's current terms always take precedence.
Apex says its current products are one-time fees with no recurring billing. Legacy monthly products are not covered here. Prices are not published in readable form on Apex's site (they load in a checkout configurator) and are therefore null.
EOD Evaluation
| Account | Max contracts | Max micros | Daily loss limit | Drawdown | Profit target | Fee (one-time) | Activation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | 4 | — | $500 | $1,000 | $1,500 | — | — |
| $50K | 6 | — | $1,000 | $2,000 | $3,000 | — | — |
| $100K | 8 | — | $1,500 | $3,000 | $6,000 | — | — |
| $150K | 12 | — | $2,000 | $4,000 | $9,000 | — | — |
| Drawdown type | End-of-day trailing. Drawdown is recalculated once a day at the close and enforced intraday the next session. Hitting the daily loss limit pauses the session only. Payout "safety net" is starting balance + drawdown + $100. |
|---|---|
| Consistency rule | None in the evaluation. 50% consistency applies to payouts. |
| Payout split | 100% |
| Payout terms | 5 qualifying days (minimum daily profit $100/$250/$300/$350 by size); minimum request $500; maximum 6 payouts per account; payout caps rise by payout number. |
Intraday Trailing Evaluation

| $50K | 6 | — | None | $2,000 | $3,000 | — | — |
| $100K | 8 | — | None | $3,000 | $6,000 | — | — |
| $150K | 12 | — | None | $4,000 | $9,000 | — | — |
| Drawdown type | Intraday trailing. Drawdown trails the intraday equity high. In the funded (PA) account trailing stops once the balance reaches starting balance + drawdown + $100. |

| Payout split | 100% |
