Platforms
Rules & restrictions
- No consistency rule in the evaluation (can pass in a single day); the funded account adds a 50% rule (no single day worth 50% or more of profit since the last payout)
- Intraday family: real-time trailing drawdown that follows the peak balance (including unrealized), stopping at the max drawdown plus a $100 safety net
- EOD family: drawdown is set at the close and enforced the next session, plus a fixed daily loss limit
- Max contracts scale by size in the evaluation (25K 4 · 50K 6 · 100K 8 · 150K 12)
Pros
- 100% profit split on the simulated funded account
- One-time fee with no recurring subscription (the 2026 relaunch dropped monthly billing)
- Choice of an easier end-of-day or a stricter intraday drawdown
- No evaluation consistency rule and no minimum days; can pass in one day
Cons
- Funded accounts are simulated, and payouts are capped at 6 per account before it closes
- The funded account adds a 50% consistency rule and tier-based scaling
- Cost to funded is two fees: the one-time eval purchase plus a separate one-time PA activation fee after passing
- Exact per-size pricing only appears in the promo-driven checkout configurator
- The intraday family uses the harsher real-time trailing drawdown
The desk’s read
Apex Trader Funding relaunched in 2026 as a one-time-fee futures firm with a 100% simulated-funded split, sold in two drawdown families (a real-time intraday model and a friendlier end-of-day model) across 25K to 150K. Evaluations have no consistency rule and can be passed in a day; the funded Performance Account adds a 50% consistency rule, tier-based scaling, and up to six minimum-$500 payouts (after five qualifying days) before it closes. Per-size pricing renders in a promo-heavy checkout configurator, so verify at checkout. Legacy monthly accounts remain for existing users but are no longer sold.
