A futures-focused prop firm. Since 1 March 2026 Apex has run on a new product line: end-of-day drawdown, built-in scaling, a 50% consistency requirement and no payout denials. Accounts are a one-time payment with a lifetime activation fee paid only after passing, and traders may hold several at once. Platforms include NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic and WealthCharts. Accounts bought before March 2026 run under the legacy rules.

Rules

EOD: Evaluation

Trading Rules

News trading is permitted as part of a normal strategy. Chasing news spikes or placing orders on both sides of the market around a release is not allowed.

All positions must be closed before 4:59 PM ET every trading day. Overnight and weekend holding is not permitted. Trading reopens at 6:00 PM ET.

Hedging is not permitted: no simultaneous long and short positions on the same or correlated instruments, including across accounts.

Copying trades from other traders is not permitted.

Automated trading, algorithms and HFT are not permitted. Manual trading only.

Every trade needs risk management; using the drawdown threshold as a stop loss is not allowed.

Profit Target

$25K Account: $1,500

$50K Account: $3,000

$100K Account: $6,000

$150K Account: $9,000

Maximum Drawdown

$25K Account: $1,000

$50K Account: $2,000

$100K Account: $3,000

$150K Account: $4,000

Type: EOD Trailing. The threshold is calculated once a day from the closing balance (4:59 PM ET) and enforced in real time during the next session.

On Rithmic and WealthCharts the drawdown stops trailing once it reaches the balance with the profit target (e.g. $53,000 for 50K); on Tradovate it keeps trailing.

Daily Loss Limit

$25K Account: $500

$50K Account: $1,000

$100K Account: $1,500

$150K Account: $2,000

Hitting the limit closes your positions and pauses trading until the next session. The evaluation is not failed.

Maximum Contracts

$25K Account: 4 minis / 40 micros

$50K Account: 6 minis / 60 micros

$100K Account: 8 minis / 80 micros

$150K Account: 12 minis / 120 micros

Fixed for the whole evaluation, no scaling. 10 micros = 1 mini; orders above the limit are rejected without a breach.

Additional Rules

Consistency Rule: None.

Minimum Trading Days: None, you can pass in 1 day.

Time Limit: 30 calendar days from purchase, no extensions.

Fees: one-time payment, no subscription. No resets — after a failed evaluation you buy a new one.

Funded account activation fee, due within 7 days of passing: one-time, the current amount is shown next to the account in the table (Apex changes it during promotions); "No Activation Fee" accounts pay nothing.

Maximum Drawdown

$25K Account: $1,000

$50K Account: $2,000

$100K Account: $3,000

$150K Account: $4,000

Type: EOD Trailing, enforced in real time.

$150K Account: $2,500, $3,000 from $5,000 profit, $4,000 from $10,000 profit

The level is set once a day from the previous closing balance; a lower balance lowers the level.

Hitting the limit closes your positions and pauses trading until the next session. The account stays open.

Maximum Contracts

$150K Account: 4 contracts, 5 from $2,000 profit, 7 from $3,000 profit, 10 from $5,000 profit

Scaling plan: the level is set once a day from the previous closing balance.

Additional Rules

Consistency Rule: 50%, applies to payout requests only and never fails the account — see the payout rules.

Safety Net: $26,100 / $52,100 / $103,100 / $154,100 — only profit above it can be withdrawn.

Activity: at least 2 days with $50+ net profit in every rolling 30 days; after 15 days the account goes dormant, after 30 days it is closed.

Maximum Accounts: 20 active funded accounts per household.

Hardest firm to get paid out with

At your own peril. The possibility of having 20 accounts is the ONLY positive about this company. But good luck getting paid. They change rules frequently, recently started to manually deduct trading profits for MAE rule breaches even though this should only apply to scaling violations in their own FAQs, "processing" payout requests can take weeks during which time you're unable to trade your accounts, breaking a trading rule while an account is in review for payout will be used to deny you, on top of which they will then apply even harder probationary rules that you need to meet from scratch and they use Plane which is in itself horrendously slow. Trading is hard enough. Better to trade with a company that's not re-writing the book on how to minimize payouts.

First, MAE RULE WAS PROFIT WILL BE GIVEN AFTER 2 max Payouts. Later they deduct the profits. Horrible.

Apex is cheap but not a good firm to go long term with, the barrier to get paid is actually ridiculous, customer service does not work with you when they error. You might as well trade a paper account and then when you are ready go with a respected company. Influencers love them because they get paid, the rest of us dont.
