Consistency Rule

Apex Trader Funding enforces a 30% Consistency Rule:

• When requesting a payout, no single trading day should account for more than 30% of the total profit balance accumulated
• This rule applies during evaluation and on funded accounts
• Violating this rule may result in payout delays or account probation

Maximum Daily Loss

There is no daily loss limit on Apex Trader Funding accounts during evaluation. However, open losses cannot exceed 30% of the daily starting account balance (consistency rule).

Drawdown is measured from the account's highest point (trailing) or initial balance (static).

Inconsistent Sizing

Drastic inconsistencies in trade sizes are not allowed:

This rule ensures consistent trading behavior.

Risk-to-Reward Ratio
