Rule-Change Radar
Apex Trader Funding rule changes
Prop firms change their rules quietly — a trailing drawdown becomes end-of-day, a consistency cap moves, a daily loss limit appears — and they don't email you. We catch it, date it, and cite the firm's own page. TradersGuild tracks these against your live account, so you hear it from us first.

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.
