Apex is one of the largest firms by volume on the futures prop side. Its strongest feature is profit split: the trader keeps all of the first $25.000, and 90% thereafter. On the other hand, intraday trailing drawdown can close the account even during normal market pullbacks, and the 50% consistency rule is an additional reason for elimination — the rule set is harder than it appears.

How to pass the Apex Trader Funding challenge?
At Apex Trader Funding, the vast majority of disqualifications stem not from failing to reach the profit target, but from exceeding the loss limit. In the strictest plan there is no separate daily loss limit; the only limit governing the account is the $2,500 total limit. This means you need to calculate your risk per trade in advance based on the account size — a single excessive position can trigger both limits. You can use our position calculator to calculate position size.
