1. True cost: 50K and 100K

50K evaluation

$680pass first try

Evaluation price$590 one-time
Activation fee$90
Resetnot offered: buy a new evaluation
After 1 failed attempt$1,270
Profit target$3,000
Max drawdown$2,000 (EOD trailing)

100K evaluation

$1,280pass first try

Evaluation price$1,190 one-time
Activation fee$90
Resetnot offered: buy a new evaluation
After 1 failed attempt$2,470
Profit target$6,000
Max drawdown$3,000 (EOD trailing)

Monthly fees: None on new accounts: Apex states 'One Time Fees – No recurring billing' (legacy accounts keep recurring billing).

True cost = evaluation + activation. "After 1 failed attempt" adds one reset (or a new evaluation where resets aren't offered). List prices before any sale or code; firms run promotions often, so confirm the final price at checkout.

2. Drawdown: how you can fail

Apex Trader Funding: EOD trailing (checked once a day at the close); an intraday-trailing product is also sold.

"EOD" (end of day) means the limit is set from your balance at the close. "Trailing" means the floor rises with your best balance, so profit you give back still counts. "Intraday trailing" follows your balance in real time, including open trades.

3. Payout rules

100% payout split
5 qualifying trading days of $250+ profit (50K) or $300+ (100K)
50% consistency rule
minimum payout $500
safety net = drawdown + $100
max 6 payouts per Performance Account (per-payout caps: 50K $1,500 to $3,000, 100K $2,000 to $4,000)

In short: you keep up to 100% of profits, subject to the conditions above.

Plan notes

List prices before coupons (a site-wide coupon was running on 2026-09-27). Activation $90 on EOD accounts. No reset on new evaluations: touching the EOD threshold fails the evaluation and you buy a new one. 30-day access period per evaluation. 'No Activation Fee' EOD variant: 50K $1,190, 100K $1,590. Intraday-trailing variant: 50K $249 + $59 activation.

Is Apex Trader Funding worth it? The attempt math

Attempts	You pay (50K, list)	vs the course
Pass first try	$680	13.9× the $49 course
1 fail, then pass	$1,270	25.9× the $49 course
2 fails, then pass	$1,860	38.0× the $49 course
3 fails, then pass	$2,450	50.0× the $49 course

We don't publish star ratings or testimonials. "Worth it" depends on how many attempts you need, and that's the part you can change: learn the rules and size from the drawdown before you pay. How to pass Apex Trader Funding →
