On-chain payouts

Paid to traders, measured on-chain

This firm does not appear in the on-chain payout aggregator.

Only 39 of the 102 firms in the census appear in the on-chain aggregator. A firm that pays by bank transfer does not show up here, and that does not mean it does not pay. It means this figure cannot be checked on a blockchain.

Expressly prohibited10

Recorded in Spanish. We store a reading of these practices rather than the firm’s literal wording, so this is a paraphrase and not a quote. The source link beside each block is the firm’s own page.

  • small targets with disproportionate risk (5 ticks against a 150-tick stop)
  • using the trailing threshold as a stop loss
  • stacking cheap evaluations in order to blow them
  • unsustainable strategies, or ones that do not show consistent growth
  • departing from what you would do in your own account at a registered broker
  • manipulating the simulator, HFT included
  • non-directional bracket: leaving orders on both sides of the market to see which one fires
  • sharing a MAC address, computer, IP or card
  • creating several user accounts
  • news trading that 'chases the market' or places orders on both sides

A known and FINITE income ceiling. A 50K PA cannot yield more than $14,500 in its whole life (1500+2000+2500+2500+3000+3000), and to cash that out you need 30 winning days of $200+ spread over 6 cycles, each one meeting the 50% consistency. This is the field that weighs most in Apex's EV and the one that appears in no comparison

Questions about Apex Trader Funding

Is Apex Trader Funding worth checking, and where do these numbers come from?

We do not rate firms. What we can tell you is what it publishes and where we read it: 2 account models on this page, 7 official pages of theirs cited, and 39 dated readings behind the figures. Anything they do not publish is shown as a gap, not filled in.

How long has Apex Trader Funding been operating?

5 years, by their own account. Only 35 of the 102 firms in the census publish it. It is not a guarantee of anything, but a firm that has been paying for years is a different bet from one that opened last quarter.

How much does a Apex Trader Funding challenge cost?

From $167 for a $25,000 account up to $1,890 for a $150,000 one, across their 2 models. A cheap fee on a small account is not a cheap account, so the table on this page keeps size and price together, and every figure links to the page it was read on. The fee buys the attempt, not the account.

What profit split does Apex Trader Funding pay?

Up to 100% on their best model, not on all of them, so check the model you are buying in the table above. A split only pays out if you also clear their payout conditions.

What does Apex Trader Funding forbid outright?

10 practices that they name themselves. They are listed on this page with their own wording, because the wording is the rule: “high-frequency” and “latency arbitrage” are not the same thing.
