Evaluations at a glance
One-time fee (no subscription, no rebill), 30-day expiry, no resets, no minimum trading days — a one-day pass is allowed. No consistency rule during the eval. Two drawdown types sold side by side: Intraday Trail and EOD Trail.
| Size | Profit target | Max drawdown | Intraday eval (list) | EOD eval (list) | Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | $199 | $390 | 4 mini / 40 micro |
| 50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $249 | $490 | 6 mini / 60 micro |
| 100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $399 | $790 | 8 mini / 80 micro |

Apex runs near-constant coupon promotions of 80–90% off list prices (a code was active at 90% off when we last verified). EOD evals also carry a daily loss limit ($500–$2,000 by size) — hitting it pauses trading for the session but does not fail the account. Source.
The drawdown mechanics (read this twice)
Intraday Trail: trails your peak balance including unrealized P&L, tick by tick, enforced in real time. In Performance Accounts it stops trailing at starting balance + $100. On Rithmic/WealthCharts evals it stops at the profit-target balance; on Tradovate evals it never stops trailing. Source.
EOD Trail: recalculated once daily at 4:59:59 PM ET from the closing balance; still enforced in real time intraday, but unrealized spikes don’t ratchet it. Source.
Funded phase (Performance Account)
Sim-funded, not live capital. One-time activation fee ($59 flat for intraday accounts; $99–$159 by size for EOD; $0 on the pricier no-activation-fee eval variants). 100% payout split. Payouts: earliest after 5 qualifying profit days ($100–$350 minimum per day by size and type), $500 minimum payout, capped per payout ($1,000–$5,000 by size and payout number), gated by a 50% consistency rule and a lifetime safety net (drawdown + $100). Each PA closes permanently after 6 payouts — max lifetime extraction is roughly $6,000–$21,500 depending on size. Inactivity rule: fewer than two $50+ profit days in 30 days closes the PA. Source.
