What is Apex Trader Funding?

Apex Trader Funding focuses on futures markets, similar to Topstep but with a different evaluation structure. The firm allows traders to hold multiple funded accounts simultaneously — a meaningful structural difference from many competitors.

Apex has grown rapidly since founding and has become a major player in US futures prop trading.

Founded: ~2021
Headquarters: USA
Markets: Futures
Evaluation type: Account evaluation (Trading Combine-style)
Best for: Futures traders wanting multiple-account flexibility
Profit split: 100% on first $25K, then 90%

Always verify current details: Prop firms update their account sizes, profit splits, fees, and rules frequently. The numbers above are accurate as of this page's last update but can change at any time. Confirm specifics on the firm's official website before purchasing any evaluation.

Evaluation process

Apex's evaluation typically involves a single-step or Trading Combine-style process with specific profit targets and drawdown rules. The firm offers account sizes from $25K up to $300K, with the option to hold multiple accounts simultaneously.

Specifics change frequently as the firm updates its product mix. Verify on apextraderfunding.com.

Payouts

Apex offers 100% of profits on the first $25,000 (substantially higher threshold than Topstep's $5K), then 90% on profits above that. Payouts can be requested after meeting minimum thresholds.

Multiple-account holders can compound payouts across accounts, which is a key structural advantage.

Pros and cons

Pros: Allows multiple simultaneous funded accounts. Generous 100% split on the first $25K. Wide range of account sizes. Active US futures community.

Cons: Newer firm (2021) means shorter track record than Topstep (2012). Futures-only — not for forex traders. Multiple-account structure can encourage over-trading if not managed carefully.

Apex Trader Funding FAQ

Is Apex Trader Funding legitimate?

Yes — operating since around 2021 and one of the largest US futures prop firms by trader count. They have an active payout history.

Does Apex offer forex trading?

No. Apex Trader Funding is futures-only. Forex traders should look at FTMO, The5ers, FundedNext, or FundingPips.

Can I hold multiple Apex accounts at the same time?

Yes, this is one of Apex's differentiators. Traders can hold and trade multiple funded accounts simultaneously, allowing for some diversification of risk and profit-payout structure.

What is Apex's profit split?

100% on the first $25,000 in profits, then 90%. This higher threshold (vs. Topstep's $5K) is one of Apex's main marketing points.

How does Apex compare to Topstep?

Both are US futures prop firms. Topstep is older (2012) with longer track record and a published leaderboard. Apex allows multiple simultaneous accounts and has a higher 100%-split threshold. Trader preference often comes down to which structure suits their style.
