Apex Trader Funding Legacy Performance Accounts now reach payout eligibility $500 sooner. The minimum balance to request a payout equals the Safety Net balance (the trailing threshold plus $100 above the starting balance), so a 50K account can request at $52,600 instead of $53,100. The $500 minimum payout request, the 30% consistency rule and 8 trading days with at least 5 days of $50 or more still apply.
In the Live program, the full Bonus Vault still carries through the first three live attempts. If a risk manager offers a fourth or later round, a percentage of the remaining vault carries forward; that share was 50% and is no longer a stated figure.
Full rules are on the Apex Trader Funding firm page.
