The Apex Rules Most Websites Show You No Longer Exist
Search “Apex funded rules” today and most of what you’ll find describes a program that ended months ago. Apex Trader Funding rebuilt its program on March 1, 2026 — new sizes, new payout math, new limits — and a large share of the affiliate web still hasn’t caught up. This is exactly the gap our Prop Firms section exists to close.
What actually changed
- Four sizes only: 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K. The old 300K accounts are gone.
- Two trailing flavors: end-of-day and intraday trailing drawdown, chosen at purchase.
- A hard 30-day evaluation clock.
- 100% payout split in the sim funded account — no 90/10 step-down.
- A 50% payout consistency rule and a safety-net threshold before payouts flow freely.
- The big one: a 6-payout lifetime cap per account. After six payouts, the account closes. That single rule changes the long-term math of an Apex account more than any other line on the page — and it’s the one stale sites never mention.
- Current pricing (from Apex’s live pricing page): one-time fees of $297 / $397 / $497 / $657 by size, plus activation of $85–$165.
Our take
The new Apex is a sprint, not a marathon: a generous 100% split and a hard cap of six payouts per account means the strategy is to extract value efficiently, not to treat one account as a permanent income stream. Traders comparing it against Take Profit Trader or Tradeify should run the numbers at matched sizes — our Apex vs Take Profit Trader vs Tradeify comparison does exactly that, pricing included.
