What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $100K account by $6,000 (6%) without breaking a loss limit.
- On any single day you can lose up to $1,500 (1.5%). Check Apex Trader Funding's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $3,000 (3%). This is end-of-day trailing drawdown: the loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.
- Consistency rule: None in the evaluation; 50% best-day rule on Performance Account payouts
- At a 100% split, you need about 1.19% return on the funded account to earn back the $1,190 fee.
- Payouts: a request opens after 5 trading days (not necessarily consecutive) that each make at least $100 (25K), $250 (50K), $300 (100K) or $350 (150K) in net profit.
- The evaluation's daily loss limit ($500, $1,000, $1,500 or $2,000) liquidates positions and pauses trading for the rest of the session; it does not fail the account.
- The EOD threshold is recalculated from the closing balance at 4:59:59 PM ET and enforced in real time during the next session. In the Performance Account it stops trailing at the starting balance plus $100.
- In Rithmic and WealthCharts evaluations the threshold stops trailing once it reaches the profit-target balance; in Tradovate evaluations it keeps trailing the peak end-of-day balance.
- The Performance Account has its own contract limit (2, 4, 6 or 10 minis at the top tier) and a daily loss limit that both scale with end-of-day profit.
- Maximum payout per request rises with each payout, from $1,000 on a 25K account to as much as $5,000 on the sixth 150K payout. The account closes after six payouts.
- The activation fee is a one-time, non-refundable payment due within 7 calendar days of passing.
- A five-pack of the same evaluation lists at $2,250 (25K), $2,450 (50K), $4,950 (100K) and $9,950 (150K).
