Apex Trader Funding Intraday Trail $50K
Key numbers
Trading rules
The Apex Trader Funding Intraday Trail $50K is a one-step futures evaluation from Apex Trader Funding. It costs $249 one-time on the Standard path, which adds a Performance Account activation fee after you pass, or $799 on the No Activation Fee path. Here are its rules in plain English, from Apex's official site and help center checked on 5 November 2026.
What you need to pass
- Profit target: $3,000 (6%).
- Daily loss limit: none in the evaluation. The trailing drawdown is the only loss limit.
- Maximum drawdown: $2,000 (4%), an intraday trailing limit: the floor follows your highest balance in real time, including open profit, and never moves down.
- Max contracts: 6 minis or 60 micros.
- Minimum trading days: none. You can pass in one session.
- Time limit: 30 days of access, with no resets. After passing you have 7 days to activate the Performance Account.
Trading rules
- Consistency rule: none in the evaluation; 50% on Performance Account payouts (no single day can be 50% or more of profit since the last payout).
- Banned: hedging evaluation accounts against each other and other prohibited activity in Apex's rules.
- News trading, holding and automation: check Apex's rules pages before trading around news or holding positions.
What it means in practice
As an illustration, risking 1% of the account per trade ($500) gives you room for 4 full losses before the maximum drawdown. Many traders size smaller, around 0.25–0.5%, so one bad day can't end the account. Use our position size calculator to turn a dollar risk into contracts.
Because the drawdown trails open profit in real time, a winning trade that reverses can still move your floor up. Track it with the drawdown calculator.
Key numbers
- Target vs drawdown: you need to make $3,000 before you lose $2,000, a ratio of 1.50 to 1.
- Payouts once funded: 100% split, up to weekly after 5 qualifying days, a $500 minimum and a maximum of six payouts per account.
- Cost per $1,000 of account: about $4.98 at the Standard list price.
