Apex Trader Funding

Apex Trader Funding V2 Update

Apex Trader Funding launched a major overhaul in early 2025 dubbed "V2." The biggest change is the introduction of EOD (End of Day) drawdown accounts, which reset your drawdown calculation at the end of each trading day instead of trailing intraday. V2 also removes several rules that previously caused payout denials and simplifies the overall experience. Legacy accounts are unaffected.

Key Improvements

• EOD Drawdown accounts — drawdown only calculated at end of day, not intraday
• No payout denials — removed the common denial triggers from prior versions
• No video reviews or chart screenshots required for payouts
• Built-in scaling — account grows through the payout tiers automatically
• 30% consistency rule — no single day can exceed 30% of total profit (funded only)
• 100% profit split on first $25K per account, 90% after
• Up to 20 accounts — scale across multiple funded accounts
• One-time eval fees for EOD, monthly subscription for Intra-Day Trailing

Trade-offs to Consider

• Soft Daily Loss Limit (DLL) — EOD accounts have a daily loss limit
• Max 6 payouts per account — after 6 payouts you're evaluated for live funding or return to sim
• 8 trading days required with at least 5 profitable days ($50+ each)
• 30% MAE rule — open trades cannot exceed 30% negative drawdown from profit balance
• 5:1 risk-to-reward ratio maximum on all trades
• Safety net required for first 3 payouts (drawdown limit + $100)

Account Types

EOD (End of Day) Drawdown

The V2 flagship account. Drawdown is calculated at the end of each trading day rather than trailing intraday. Available in $25K–$150K sizes.

• EOD Drawdown: Does not trail intraday — only checked at session close
• 100% profit split on first $25K, 90% after
• 30% consistency rule when funded (until 6th payout or live transfer)
• One-time eval fee

Intra-Day Trailing Drawdown

Monthly subscription model with lower entry prices. Same account sizes as EOD.

• Trailing Drawdown: Max drawdown trails your highest peak balance in real time
• 100% profit split on first $25K, 90% after
• 30% consistency rule when funded (until 6th payout or live transfer)
• Monthly subscription fee

Static Account (100K only)

A simpler evaluation with a fixed drawdown that does not trail.

• Static Drawdown: $625 max loss that does not move
• Limited to 2 minis / 20 micros
• $2,000 profit target
• 100% profit split on first $25K, 90% after; 30% funded consistency rule

Payout Details

All account types share the same payout requirements: 8 trading days with at least 5 profitable days ($50+ minimum profit each). Maximum 6 payouts per account — after that you're evaluated for live funding or return to sim.

Maximum Payouts (First Five Payouts):

• Minimum payout: $500 for any account size
• No maximum after 5th payout, provided minimum balance threshold is maintained

Legacy Accounts

If you purchased an Apex evaluation before the V2 launch, your account keeps its original rules. V2 changes only apply to new evaluations purchased after the update.
