Apex Trader Funding Rules

Apex Trader Funding rules on a 50K New - Intraday trailing account

These are the New - Intraday trailing 50K figures as Apex Trader Funding publishes them. Each one links to the firm’s official source. Verified Oct 27, 2026. Rules change, so the firm’s page and your dashboard are the authority.

How the intraday trailing drawdown moves on a 50K

Illustrative example using the published $2,000 maximum loss: a 50K evaluation opens at $50,000 with the floor at $48,000. A trade that shows $50,900 in open profit moves the floor to $48,900 at once, even if you close the trade flat.

The floor follows the peak, open profit included, and does not come back down. That is why a scalper who lets winners run and then cuts them can find the floor much closer than the closed balance suggests.

Apex Trader Funding payouts: what has to line up

With a 50% consistency rule, your largest day can be at most 50% of the profit counted for the payout. A $600 best day needs at least $1,200 of total profit before it passes. Bank one big day early and the following days have to carry the rest.

What traders get caught on

• On a 50K intraday evaluation the threshold starts at $48,000. If open profit lifts the balance to $50,900, the threshold moves to $48,900 at once, with no closing trade needed. If the balance then falls to $50,200, the threshold stays at $48,900. (source: apextraderfunding.com)
• In a 50K intraday Performance Account the trail stops at $50,100 once your highest balance reaches $52,100. (source: apextraderfunding.com)
• Rithmic and WealthCharts evaluations stop trailing at $53,000 once the highest balance reaches $55,000. Tradovate evaluations keep trailing. (source: apextraderfunding.com)
• The 50% consistency rule applies to Performance Account payout requests: no single day can be more than 50% of the profit since the last approved payout. Missing it blocks the request; the account stays open. (source: apextraderfunding.com)
• The intraday evaluation has no daily loss limit and no minimum trading days. You have 30 days, and 7 days to activate after passing. (source: apextraderfunding.com)

Journaling a Apex Trader Funding account

Import the fills from your platform’s export and Tiedbook ties each session to the statement. Then it draws the Apex Trader Funding floor, the daily limit and the best-day share on your own trades, so you see the room left before the next order, not after the account email.

The firm’s figures are labeled as the firm’s. If they and your dashboard disagree, the dashboard is right. Use the trailing drawdown calculator and the consistency calculator to test a plan first, or read how a prop firm trading journal handles several accounts.
