Apex Trader Funding, apextraderfunding.com, read 2026-10-06. One-time evaluations, 30 calendar days, no resets, no consistency rule while evaluating. End-of-day plans move the threshold only at the 4:59 pm close and add a daily loss limit that pauses the day; intraday plans trail every new high including open profit. Be flat by 4:59 pm ET. No automated trading. Contracts = minis / micros (10 micros count as 1 mini).
About Challenges
Challenges lists the evaluation plans of Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, Take Profit Trader, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify and FundedNext Futures — price, profit target, drawdown type, daily loss limit, consistency rule and days — dated from each firm’s own help pages, because firms change them often.
Next to the plans is the latest backtest of each strategy on real futures prices under those rules, worked out again after each session and set against a coin-flip baseline, and the Fear & Greed index with what earned at each level.
With a free account you can track a challenge you bought: balance, liquidation threshold, daily loss limit, consistency and days left, by hand or from your platform’s CSV — and how many contracts still fit the room you have left.
Questions
Which prop firms are covered?
Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, Take Profit Trader, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify and FundedNext Futures. Each plan is dated — check the firm’s site before you buy, as rules and prices change often.
Why do most prop-firm challenges fail?
Most fail on the drawdown, not the profit target: a trailing or daily loss limit is hit before the target is reached. The tracker shows how much you can still lose before the challenge fails, and how many contracts fit that room.
How often are the results updated?
After every futures session: each strategy is backtested again on the newest prices, by plan and market.
Is it free?
