Pass the evaluation and you're moved to a funded account where you trade Apex Trader Funding's actual capital and keep a percentage of profits as your payout. Most challenge fees are refunded with your first successful payout. Apex Trader Funding's evaluation structure (1-step, 2-step, or instant-funding) depends on which program you pick. Each challenge card above shows the exact steps, the profit target per phase, the time limit (if any), the daily and overall drawdown limits, and the profit split you'll earn once funded. We pull these values directly from Apex Trader Funding's official rulebook and refresh them weekly. Industry-wide pass rates on prop firm challenges sit around 10%. The traders who pass most consistently treat the challenge as a paid stress test of an already-profitable strategy — not as a way to learn one. If you're newer to trading, the Apex Trader Funding matcher tool can help you find a challenge with rules that fit your style before paying for the evaluation. ## Frequently Asked Questions about Apex Trader Funding Challenges ### What's the difference between a Apex Trader Funding challenge and a funded account? A Apex Trader Funding challenge is the paid evaluation phase where you prove you can hit a profit target without breaching drawdown rules. Once you pass, you're funded — you trade Apex Trader Funding's actual capital and keep a percentage of profits as your payout. Most challenge fees are refunded with your first successful payout. ### Is Apex Trader Funding a one-step or two-step challenge? Apex Trader Funding typically offers multiple formats — both one-step and two-step evaluations are common across the industry, and some firms also offer instant-funding options. The exact structure depends on which account size and program you pick. The challenge cards above show the current steps, profit targets, and time limits for each tier. ### What's the profit split on a funded Apex Trader Funding account? Profit splits in this industry typically range from 70% to 90% to the trader. Higher splits are usually unlocked through Apex Trader Funding's scaling plan after consistent payouts. The exact current split for each program is shown on the main Apex Trader Funding review page along with payout frequency and minimum payout amounts. ### How strict is Apex Trader Funding's drawdown rule? Most prop firms enforce both a daily drawdown limit (around 4–5%) and a maximum overall drawdown (around 8–10%). The make-or-break detail is whether the overall drawdown is static (calculated from starting balance) or trailing (follows equity highs). Each challenge card above shows Apex Trader Funding's exact rule for that account size — read it carefully before paying. ### What happens if I fail a Apex Trader Funding challenge? You lose the challenge fee. Most firms — including Apex Trader Funding — offer discounted reset options if you want to retry without paying the full price again. If you breach by a small margin in the final phase, some firms grant a free reset on a case-by-case basis. Contact Apex Trader Funding's support directly if you think you qualify. ### Can I trade news events on Apex Trader Funding? News trading rules vary across firms and across Apex Trader Funding's individual programs. Most prop firms restrict trading during high-impact news (NFP, FOMC, CPI) and some require positions to be closed before weekend gaps. Apex Trader Funding's specific trading rules are listed on the main Apex Trader Funding review page in the Trading Rules section.
