Apex Trader Funding has set a minimum of 7 trading days to pass a Legacy evaluation. The account must also have a balance, including commissions, above the profit target.
If a Performance Account breaks a PA trading rule, the payout request feature on that account is disabled for 8 trading days from the date of the violation, and trading can continue. All profit made on the day of the violation is removed, including for Scaling and MAE violations. Payout eligibility comes back after the suspension only if there is no further violation. Until the trader has an approved payout at the maximum amount for the account size, only profit earned after the violation date counts toward payouts. Other accounts are not affected.
The 30% consistency rule on payouts applies until the sixth payout or until the account moves to a Live Prop Trading Account, and no longer applies after that.
Full rules are on the Apex Trader Funding firm page.
