Apex Trader Funding
Apex Trader Funding is one of the largest US-based futures prop firms. Products purchased after March 1, 2026 (the "new Apex") use one-time evaluation fees with a 30-day access period — no subscriptions and no resets (a failed or expired eval means buying a new one). EOD-drawdown evaluations (25k–150k) have no consistency rule, no minimum days, and a soft daily loss limit that pauses the day without failing you. Funded Performance Accounts pay a 100% payout split with per-payout caps and a maximum of 6 payouts per account, a 50% consistency rule at payout, and a safety net of drawdown + $100.
EOD trailing — $1k (25k) / $2k (50k) / $3k (100k) / $4k (150k); intraday plan optional
