News & products
- News trading: Allowed - Apex states traders may use normal day-to-day strategies during news; prohibited practices still apply.
- Products: Apex-supported futures on Rithmic, Tradovate and WealthCharts, covering major CME, CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX contracts and supported micros; verify the live instrument page because platform availability can differ.
- Checked by hand 2026-10-13 (homepage pricing picker, all 16 combinations): the listed price is Apex's regular price; the site shows about 90% off with a coupon code (e.g. 50K Intraday $249 list, $24.90 with coupon). Every evaluation is a one-time fee, no rebill, active for 30 days, no resets, minimum 1 day to pass. Five-pack bundles are also offered. A separate limited-time Legacy Accounts promotion is not included.
- Checked by hand 2026-10-13 (Intraday evaluation page): real-time trailing drawdown that follows peak balance including open profit; no daily loss limit; no minimum trading days; 30-day access period; no consistency or scaling rule during the evaluation; 7 calendar days to activate the PA after passing.
- Checked by hand 2026-10-13: the PA activation fee is a one-time payment per account, not a subscription; it cannot be transferred and stays valid while that PA is active. A disqualified, liquidated or inactive PA is closed for good.
- Checked by hand 2026-10-13 (EOD payouts page): 50% consistency rule: no single profitable day may be 50% or more of the total profit since the last approved payout. Safety net = the drawdown limit plus $100, kept for the life of the PA; only profit above it can be withdrawn.
- Checked by hand 2026-10-13 (EOD payouts page): minimum payout is $500 per request at every account size. Each EOD Performance Account can receive at most six payouts; after the sixth the PA is closed. Per-request caps for payouts 1-6: 25K $1,000 each; 50K $1,500/$1,500/$2,000/$2,500/$2,500/$3,000; 100K $2,000/$2,500/$2,500/$3,000/$4,000/$4,000; 150K $2,500/$3,000/$3,000/$3,000/$4,000/$5,000.
- Checked by hand 2026-10-13: after passing, the evaluation is reviewed at market close (4:59:59 PM ET) and shows as Passed after 6 PM ET. The PA activation fee must be paid within 7 calendar days of being marked Passed, or the chance expires and a new evaluation must be passed. A PA matches the size and type of the evaluation passed.
- Apex distinguishes new products purchased after March 1, 2026 from legacy products; this record uses the new-product evaluation rules.
- Both Standard and No Activation Fee variants are listed. Standard plans carry a one-time PA activation fee due within 7 days of passing ($59 for Intraday, $90 for EOD); the higher-upfront No Activation Fee variants carry $0 after passing.
- New-generation evaluations (purchased since March 1, 2026) have no reset option at all — a failed or expired evaluation must be repurchased; there is no fixed reset fee.
- Site displays a recurring 'up to 90% off' coupon at checkout (e.g. code SAVENOW); list prices before any coupon are recorded here.
- List prices before coupon are recorded. Apex commonly advertises a deep checkout coupon; the discounted checkout amount is deliberately not treated as the durable list price.
- Intraday Trail evaluations carry no Daily Loss Limit; only EOD Trail evaluations do.
Watch out for
- Intraday Trail evaluations use a real-time trailing drawdown that follows peak balance including open profit, and have no daily loss limit; EOD Trail evaluations do have a daily loss limit (e.g. $500 on a 25K EOD).
- On EOD Performance Accounts a 50% consistency rule applies: no single profitable day may be 50% or more of the total profit since the last approved payout.
- Payouts: minimum $500 per request; each EOD Performance Account can receive at most six payouts, after which the PA is closed; a safety net of the drawdown limit plus $100 is kept for the life of the PA, and only profit above it can be withdrawn.
- After passing, the PA activation fee must be paid within 7 calendar days of being marked Passed, or the chance expires; new-generation evaluations have no reset option — a failed or expired evaluation must be repurchased.
