Apex Trader Funding rules
At Apex, the 50K account has a US$ 3,000 target and a US$ 2,000 maximum loss, with a floor that follows the peak balance in real time, including unrealized profit, and never falls. The intraday evaluation has no daily limit and no minimum trading days.
This page separates what changes between Apex's intraday evaluation, its EOD evaluation and the funded account — and shows where the floor stops rising in each one.

The figures by account size
Apex publishes two evaluations with the same target and the same maximum loss; what changes is how the floor moves and whether a daily limit exists.
- Targets: US$ 1,500 (25K), US$ 3,000 (50K), US$ 6,000 (100K) and US$ 9,000 (150K).
- Maximum loss: US$ 1,000, US$ 2,000, US$ 3,000 and US$ 4,000, in the same order.
- Contracts in the evaluation: 4, 6, 8 and 12 — in the funded account they drop to 2, 4, 6 and 10.
- Daily limit: none in the intraday evaluation; in the EOD evaluation it is US$ 500, US$ 1,000, US$ 1,500 and US$ 2,000.
- Minimum days in the evaluation: none — the firm says it can be passed in one day.
- Consistency: not applied in the evaluation; 50% in the funded account.
- Profit split in the funded account: 100% of the approved payout amount.
Where the floor stops rising — and why that changes everything
Apex's intraday floor follows the highest balance ever reached, counting profit that is still open. A trade that runs up and gives it all back before closing has already lifted the floor: it is the detail that ends the most accounts here, because the peak that counted never showed up on the statement.
Where it locks depends on where the account is. In the funded account the floor stops at the starting balance plus US$ 100 — US$ 50,100 on a 50K, reached when the peak hits US$ 52,100. In Rithmic and Wealthcharts evaluations it stops at a value equal to the target balance: US$ 53,000 on a 50K, when the peak touches US$ 55,000. On Tradovate, the firm says the floor keeps trailing without locking.
Payout: safety net, five days and the six-payment cap
To request a payout on the funded account, Apex requires a safety net equal to the drawdown limit plus US$ 100, held for the account's whole life, and five trading days that met the day's minimum profit — US$ 100 on the 25K, US$ 200 on the 50K, US$ 250 on the 100K and US$ 300 on the 150K in the intraday model. The days need not be consecutive.
The minimum request is US$ 500 and there are caps per payment, rising to the sixth. There are at most six payouts per account; after that the account is closed. The 50% consistency rule is measured on profit accumulated since the last approved payout: it does not break the account, it only hides the payout button until the best day fits.

FAQ
Does Apex's drawdown count unrealized profit?
In the intraday evaluation, yes: the floor follows the peak balance including gains still open. In the EOD evaluation the floor is recomputed once a day, at the close, but it is still enforced in real time during the session.
Where does Apex's floor lock?
In the funded account, at the starting balance plus US$ 100 (US$ 50,100 on a 50K). In Rithmic and Wealthcharts evaluations, at a value equal to the target balance. On Tradovate, the firm states the floor keeps rising.
How many days are needed to withdraw?
Five trading days that meet the day's minimum profit, not necessarily consecutive, plus the safety net (drawdown plus US$ 100) and a request of at least US$ 500.
