Apex Evaluation Rules Explained
Before starting an Apex Trader Funding challenge, traders must understand the evaluation rules. These rules determine whether a trader passes the challenge or fails.
Quick Overview
- Reach the required profit target
- Do not break the trailing drawdown rule
- Follow minimum trading day requirements
- Maintain consistent trading performance
Profit Target
Each Apex evaluation account has a specific profit target that must be reached before the account can qualify for a funded performance account.
Trailing Drawdown
Trailing drawdown moves upward as your profits increase. If the account balance drops below this level, the evaluation fails.

Minimum Trading Days
Prop firms require traders to trade a minimum number of days before passing the challenge.
This rule ensures traders demonstrate consistent performance rather than relying on one lucky trade.
Consistency Requirements
Many prop firms apply consistency rules to prevent large single-day profits from dominating the overall performance.
