Apex Trader Funding was founded in 2021 in Austin, Texas and quickly established itself as one of the largest futures prop firms by volume. They're known for frequent 70–90% promotional discounts on monthly subscription fees, making their accounts among the most affordable in the futures space at any given time.
Apex uses a single-step evaluation called the Trading Test. Traders access simulated CME futures accounts across 7 sizes ($25K–$300K) and must hit a profit target while staying within a trailing drawdown limit. The $100K Static account is unique — it uses static (not trailing) drawdown with a minimal 2% target, making it the most accessible product at the $137/month base price.
Funded traders keep 100% of the first $25,000 earned per payout cycle, then 90% thereafter. Payouts are processed twice monthly in two windows. Apex has paid out $660M+ to traders since 2022. Supported platforms include NinjaTrader, Rithmic, Tradovate, TradingView, and Sierra Chart.
