Apex Trader Funding review
Traders who want a choice between end-of-day and intraday drawdown, and many accounts at once. Rules read from Apex Trader Funding's own pages on 2 November 2026.
Our read of the rules
What stands out
- Pick end-of-day or intraday trailing drawdown, in 25K to 150K sizes.
- No consistency rule and no minimum days on evaluations.
- Up to 20 Performance Accounts.
Watch out for
- On Performance Accounts the contract limit and daily loss limit step up with profit: you start small.
- Intraday drawdown trails your open profit too, so giving back an open winner tightens the limit.
- A stop loss is required, and hedging across accounts is prohibited.
On every Apex Trader Funding account
- Holding positions through the 4:59 PM ET close is not allowed.
- Every trade needs a stop, pending or mental.
- Hedging across accounts is prohibited.
