Apex Trader Funding — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Effectively the cheapest entry in futures funding — permanent 80–90% discount codes
- 100% profit split from the first payout under Apex 4.0
- Up to 20 parallel funded accounts with copy trading — the strongest edge-multiplier in the industry
- Optional end-of-day trailing drawdown that ignores intraday unrealized wicks
Cons
- Legacy 2024–2025 payout-denial reputation still rebuilding
- $79–99 activation fee after passing isn't obvious from the cheap-eval marketing
- First five payouts are capped on a ladder; 50% consistency rule on funded accounts
- All metals products suspended indefinitely since March 2026
Rebels Funding — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- No time limits on any program — up to 999 days per phase, no deadline pressure
- Generous fee-refund model — up to 200% on Copper and 150% on Bronze on the first payout
- Profit splits scaling up to ~90% on the funded stage
- Flexible tiered lineup from 4-phase Copper to instant Diamond, entries from ~$28
- News trading and overnight/weekend holding allowed
- Solid Trustpilot sentiment (4.4) with fast payouts on a 14-day cycle
Cons
- Proprietary RF-Trader platform only — no MT4, MT5 or cTrader
- No automated trading (EAs/bots), and sub-30-second trades, hedging and arbitrage are banned
- Young firm (2023) — limited long-term track record
- The instant Diamond tier carries the lowest profit split (~75%)
