Apex Trader Funding Apex Trader Funding (ATF) is a U.S.-based proprietary-trading firm that specializes in futures funding on the CME Group exchanges (ES, NQ, CL, RTY, etc.). Traders prove consistency through a short evaluation and, once funded, can trade the firm’s capital for a share of the profits. 📋 Quick facts | Item | Detail | |------|--------| | Founded | 2021 (United States) | | Instruments | CME futures & micros | | Platforms | NinjaTrader, Rithmic / Jigsaw, Tradovate, Quantower, MotiveWave | | Evaluation lengths | 7 – 20 trading days (30 × day max) | | Account sizes | \$25 k · \$50 k · \$75 k · \$100 k · \$150 k · \$250 k | | Profit split | 90 % to the trader after first \$25 k | | Payout frequency | First request after 7 calendar days; weekly thereafter | | Scaling | Up to 10 simultaneous funded accounts per trader | | Reset fee | \$85 (flat) | 🌟 What makes Apex different?

• Low cost evaluations – frequent 50-90 % coupon codes bring the entry fee under \$50 for smaller accounts.
• Generous drawdown logic – trailing drawdown stops at the account’s starting balance; once you lock it in, you cannot lose the account by giving back profits.
• One-step evaluation – no multi-phase rule set; simply reach the profit target without violating daily loss limits.
• Same-day data feed – accounts are activated within minutes after payment; no 24-hour wait.
• High payout cap at 90 % – industry-leading split once the first \$25 k is withdrawn.

✅ Pros

• Cheapest evaluations during sales — ideal for trying futures prop-trading without heavy up-front cost.
• Fast payouts (ACH / wire / crypto) once funded.
• Support for a wide range of professional platforms via Rithmic.
• Allows overnight positions on many contracts.
• Up to 10 funded accounts per person for aggressive scaling.

⚠️ Cons

• Futures only – no forex, CFDs, or equities.
• Trailing drawdown still applies during the eval; you must babysit open trades until you’ve locked in enough buffer.
• Customer support is U.S. business-hours only (e-mail / Discord).
