Apex Trader Funding

Apex industrialized futures funding — near-permanent 80–90% discount codes, evaluations effectively costing ~$20–35, and up to 20 simultaneous funded accounts driven by copy trading. In March 2026 the firm rebuilt itself as "Apex 4.0": monthly subscriptions became one-time fees, the disputed MAE and 30%-consistency rules were removed, payouts were automated to 24–48 hours, and the split became a flat 100% from the first payout (legacy accounts: 100% of the first $25K, then 90%).

The 4.0 evaluation lets you choose your drawdown: classic intraday trailing (cheaper, but it follows peak open equity tick-by-tick) or end-of-day trailing with daily loss limits (pricier, far more forgiving). There are no minimum trading days, but a 30-calendar-day window with no resets. On funded accounts, a 50% consistency rule and a payout ladder apply — the first five payouts are capped, then caps lift entirely.

The overhang is history: the 2024–2025 era of subjective payout denials and "account under review" freezes still shapes the firm's reputation, and metals products have been suspended since March 2026. The self-reported $700M+ in cumulative payouts and a 4.5 Trustpilot across ~20,000 reviews suggest the machine mostly works — but read the payout policy twice and treat the horizontal-scaling math as the real product.

One-step evaluation with a one-time fee (since March 2026). Sizes: $25K ($1,500 target / $1,000 trailing drawdown), $50K ($3,000 / $2,000), $100K ($6,000 / $3,000), $150K ($9,000 / $4,000).

Choose your drawdown at checkout: intraday trailing (follows peak open equity tick-by-tick — unrealized profit counts) or end-of-day trailing (recalculates on closing balance only, adds a daily loss limit). 30 calendar days, no resets; no minimum trading days. Passing requires a one-time $79 (intraday) or $99 (EOD) activation fee.

100% split from the first payout (post-4.0). Per cycle you need 5 profitable days meeting a minimum daily profit ($100–350 by size), a balance above the safety net, and compliance with the 50% consistency rule. Minimum withdrawal $500; the first five payouts are capped on a ladder, uncapped from the sixth. Automated processing in 24–48h via Plane/ACH.

No balance scaling — Apex scales horizontally: up to 20 simultaneous Performance Accounts (~$3M combined at 20×$150K), with one leader account copy-trading up to 19 followers.
