Apex Trader Funding 25K Intraday Trail: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
Apex Trader Funding 25K Intraday Trail ranks #49 of the 64 25K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 41. Its strongest part is cost, its weakest is payouts.
One try costs $106. The evaluation needs $1,500 on a $1,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 4.2). The funded account needs $1,600 on a $1,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 4.5). Together that is about 1 in 19 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $718 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,011).
A steady trader making $100 a day gets the first payout after 31 trading days and keeps $3,000 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$718 per first payout75
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
