Apex Trader Funding rules: drawdown, daily loss and reset time

Apex Evaluation (intraday trail): a $1,500 to $9,000 profit target, no daily loss limit, and a $1,000 to $4,000 intraday trailing maximum loss that keeps rising with new highs and has no lock point. The dollar limits depend on the account size.

Daily reset

There is no daily loss limit, so there is no daily reset.

Daily loss calculation

There is no daily loss limit.

Maximum loss

The maximum loss is $1,000 to $4,000, trailing: it follows the peak and it is recalculated on every tick. It sits a fixed distance behind the peak. It has no lock point and keeps rising with every new high.

Minimum trading days

Not recorded in the verified rules.

Consistency rule

No consistency rule.

News trading

Allowed. News trading permitted, but the One-Direction Rule forbids taking opposing positions (or placing both-sides stop orders) on the same news event. source

Program notes. Access expires after 30 days and cannot be reset. The trailing threshold follows unrealised profit intraday and does not stop during the evaluation (on Rithmic and WealthCharts it stops only at the profit-target balance). It freezes at the starting balance + $100 only once you are in the Performance Account. Fees shown are the Standard version plus its one-time PA activation fee ($79 / $89 / $109 / $139); the No Activation Fee version costs $690 / $490 / $590 / $1,890 with nothing due on passing, which is cheaper at 50K and 100K.

Apex Evaluation (end-of-day trail): a $1,500 to $9,000 profit target, a $500 to $2,000 daily loss limit that pauses trading for the day when hit and resets at 18:00 New York time (ET), and a $1,000 to $4,000 end-of-day trailing maximum loss that keeps rising with new highs and has no lock point. The dollar limits depend on the account size.

Daily reset

The daily loss limit resets at 18:00 New York time (ET).

Daily loss calculation

The limit is a dollar amount that depends on the account size ($500 to $2,000). Hitting it pauses trading for the day and the account survives.

Maximum loss

The maximum loss is $1,000 to $4,000, trailing: it follows the peak and it is recalculated once at the end of the trading day. It sits a fixed distance behind the peak. It has no lock point and keeps rising with every new high.

Minimum trading days

Not recorded in the verified rules.

Consistency rule

No consistency rule.

News trading

Allowed. News trading permitted, but the One-Direction Rule forbids taking opposing positions (or placing both-sides stop orders) on the same news event. source

Program notes. Gentler drawdown than the intraday variant, but it adds a daily loss limit and costs far more. The end-of-day threshold keeps trailing through the evaluation (on Rithmic and WealthCharts it stops only at the profit-target balance); it freezes at the starting balance + $100 only in the Performance Account. Fees shown are the Standard version plus its one-time PA activation fee ($99 / $119 / $129 / $149); the No Activation Fee version costs $1,090 / $1,190 / $1,590 / $2,490 with nothing due on passing.

Apex Performance Account (intraday trail): no profit target, a $500 to $2,500 daily loss limit that pauses trading for the day when hit and resets at 18:00 New York time (ET), and a $1,000 to $4,000 intraday trailing maximum loss that stops trailing at +$100 of profit. The dollar limits depend on the account size.

Daily reset

The daily loss limit resets at 18:00 New York time (ET).

Daily loss calculation

The limit is a dollar amount that depends on the account size ($500 to $2,500). Hitting it pauses trading for the day and the account survives.

News trading

Allowed. News trading permitted, but the One-Direction Rule forbids taking opposing positions (or placing both-sides stop orders) on the same news event. source

Program notes. Awarded after passing the intraday evaluation, in the same size. The threshold trails your peak balance, unrealised profit included, by a fixed dollar amount and stops at the starting balance + $100. The Daily Loss Limit and contract cap rise with profit tiers (50K: $1,000 and 2 contracts at Level 1, up to $3,000 and 4); we show Level 1, the lowest, so warnings come early rather than late. Hitting the DLL pauses trading for the day without closing the account. Payouts need 5 qualifying days and no single day at 50% or more of the profit since the last payout.

Apex Performance Account (end-of-day trail): no profit target, a $500 to $2,500 daily loss limit that pauses trading for the day when hit and resets at 18:00 New York time (ET), and a $1,000 to $4,000 end-of-day trailing maximum loss that stops trailing at +$100 of profit.

Program notes. Awarded after passing the end-of-day evaluation, in the same size.
