Apex Trader Funding Profit Target, by Account Size
Rules verified 2026-07-15 · official source
Apex Trader Funding's evaluation target is $1,500 on the 25K Evaluation (scaling with size). Hitting the number isn't passing — drawdown and consistency still gate the pass.
The target is the easy half
Most failed evaluations don't die short of the target — they die AFTER touching it, giving profit back into the drawdown line while finishing the remaining requirements. Treat the target as the midpoint, not the finish line.
Once you're near it, the play is defense: smaller size, wider spacing, and knowing your exact distance to the trailing intraday (follows your live peak, open profit included) line.
| Plan | Evaluation |
|---|---|
| 25K Evaluation | $1,500 |
| 50K Evaluation | $3,000 |
| 100K Evaluation | $6,000 |
| 150K Evaluation | $9,000 |
| 250K Evaluation (Legacy) | $15,000 |
How traders actually breach it
The classic post-target failure: doubling size to finish fast, then donating the cushion back. The target doesn't bank until every other rule clears.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.
Recent Apex Trader Funding rule changes
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.
