Apex spells out its funded scaling ladder

Apex Trader Funding now lists each funded scaling step and the top tier for EOD Trail and Intraday Trail.

Published Oct 15, 20261 min read

Apex Trader Funding's funded accounts scale with profit, and the rules now give the actual steps instead of a general description. The same ladder applies to EOD Trail and Intraday Trail. Funded accounts start at 1 mini/10 micros on 25K, 2 minis/20 micros on 50K, 3 minis/30 micros on 100K and 4 minis/40 micros on 150K.

Each size has a top tier: 2 minis on 25K at $1,000 profit, 4 minis on 50K at $3,000, 6 minis on 100K at $5,000 and 10 minis on 150K at $5,000. Once an account reaches it, the contract limit and Daily Loss Limit stay fixed. Tiers update once per trading day from the prior session's closing balance.

Full rules are on the Apex Trader Funding firm page.
