25K Evaluation

Evaluation

Profit target: $1,500
Max loss: $1,000Trailing (intraday) — Follows your intraday peak (open profit included) — it keeps trailing behind your high, with no breakeven lock.
Daily loss limit: None
Min trading days: None
Consistency rule: None

Trailing threshold follows your intraday PEAK (open profit included). What happens next depends on your PLATFORM (Apex's own help center): on TRADOVATE the threshold keeps trailing your Peak Balance indefinitely — it never locks. On RITHMIC and WEALTHCHARTS it trails in real time until your account reaches $27,500, then FIXES at $26,500 and no longer trails.
TradersGuild tracks the Tradovate (never-locks) behavior — the conservative branch. On Rithmic/WealthCharts, once your threshold has fixed, your real threshold can sit BELOW the line shown here — the room shown is never more than you actually have.
No daily loss limit on the Intraday product — the trailing threshold is the only drawdown line.
Payouts require the 50% consistency rule (no day > 50% of total profit) + 5 qualifying days. (Apex 4.0, since March 2026.)

PA (Funded)

Profit target: None — funded, keep the rules
Max loss: $1,000Trailing (intraday) — Follows your intraday peak (open profit included), then locks $100 above your starting balance once you've earned the buffer.
Daily loss limit: None
Min trading days: 5 days
Consistency rule: No single day may exceed 50% of total profit

PA trailing threshold follows your real-time peak (realized or unrealized, open profit included) until the peak reaches $26,100 — then it LOCKS at $25,100 ($100 above your starting balance) for the life of the account.
No daily loss limit — the trailing threshold is the only drawdown line.
Payouts require the 50% consistency rule (no day > 50% of total profit) + 5 qualifying days. (Apex 4.0, since March 2026.)

Rule updates

2026-07-15 Evaluation drawdown-lock corrected per Apex's own help center: the eval threshold's behavior is PLATFORM-SPLIT — on Tradovate it trails your Peak Balance indefinitely and never locks; on Rithmic/WealthCharts it trails until the account reaches start + target + trailing threshold (e.g. $55,000 on the 50K), then fixes at start + target ($53,000) and no longer trails. TradersGuild now encodes the conservative Tradovate (never-locks) branch so room is never overstated. The PA (funded) lock is unchanged and re-verified: real-time trail locking at start+$100 once the peak (realized or unrealized) reaches start + trailing threshold + $100.
2026-07-07 Added the legacy 250K Evaluation ($15,000 goal, $6,500 trailing threshold, 27 contracts) — retired for new purchases in Apex 4.0, but live legacy accounts keep trading under the 4.0 payout policy.
2026-07-05 Updated for Apex 4.0 (effective March 1, 2026): consistency raised to 50% (was 30%), evaluation minimum trading days dropped to 0, payout qualifying days set to 5, and the 250K/300K account sizes retired. Trailing drawdowns re-encoded to the 4.0 Intraday table.
2026-07-04 Initial rule set encoded: trailing-intraday threshold with breakeven+$100 lock; no daily loss limit; 30% payout consistency.
