How does the Apex live trailing threshold work?▼
On standard evaluation accounts, the Apex trailing threshold recalculates in real time tick-by-tick against your highest unrealized open equity peak during a trade, not closed balance. If an open trade spikes up by +$3,000 and pulls back to +$500 at close, your trailing floor remains at the peak minus the drawdown allowance. The threshold permanently freezes at Starting Balance + $100.
What is the Apex Safety Net Buffer requirement before payouts?▼
Traders cannot withdraw any funds that dip into their safety net threshold: Starting Balance + Max Drawdown + $100 ($52,600 on a $50k account with $2,500 drawdown). Because the minimum payout is $500, your account balance must reach at least $53,100 before a withdrawal can be requested.
When can I request a payout from Apex Trader Funding?▼
Payout requests are accepted during two specific 5-day windows each calendar month: the 1st through 5th, and the 15th through 20th. Requests submitted outside these bi-monthly windows cannot be processed until the subsequent cycle.
What are the payout caps during Months 1 to 3 on Apex?▼

What is the 30% consistency rule on Apex Performance Accounts?▼
At the time of requesting a payout on a Performance Account, no single trading day can represent more than 30% of your total accumulated net profit since the last withdrawal. If a single day exceeds 30%, the withdrawal button locks until further trading dilutes that day's percentage.
How many accounts can you trade simultaneously on Apex?▼
A single trader is permitted to trade up to 20 concurrent active Performance Accounts (PAs) simultaneously using trade copiers. With a 100% profit split on the first $25,000 per account, traders can extract up to $500,000 before the 90/10 split applies.
Does Apex Trader Funding allow news trading?▼

What are qualifying trading days on Apex?▼
Payouts require between 5 to 8 separate qualifying trading days between withdrawal requests. A qualifying trading day requires generating a minimum profit (typically $100–$350 depending on account tier) rather than simply opening and closing a micro contract.
