Trading Rules
Hidden Rules & Fine Print
Rules and fees that are not prominently advertised. We dig into the fine print so you don't have to.
A one-time activation fee of $79 (25K-100K) or $99 (150K) is required within 7 days of passing the evaluation.
Apex switched from monthly subscriptions to one-time evaluation fees in March 2026. Accounts expire after 30 days — no resets, no recurring billing.
Payouts are capped per request: $1,000-$2,500 (1st payout) scaling up to $1,000-$5,000 (6th payout) depending on account size. Account closes after 6 payouts.
No single trading day can account for 50% or more of total profit on the Performance Account (PA).
Account balance must reach 'Starting Capital + Max Drawdown + $100' before a payout can be requested.
A day only counts as a 'trading day' if net profit reaches minimum thresholds: $100 (25K), $200 (50K), $250 (100K), $300 (150K).
