Futures Prop Firm Rule Radar

Every night Rule Radar archives the help center of every futures prop firm on the price list and shows exactly what changed: which page, which line, dated, before and after. Payout terms, consistency rules, drawdown math, activation fees: firms rewrite these without an announcement, and this is where you catch it. Updated pages open to the exact wording that changed, every article keeps a full version history you can compare, and a plain-English line on each row says what happened. Nothing here is written by the firms. It is their own help center, read every day and kept. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

Payouts can be requested daily, Monday to Friday, on any balance above your starting balance. Requests made before 11am ET are processed the same trading day. While Sim Funded, stop trading for the day once you are $5,000 up and for the week once you are $10,000 up — passing $10,000 in total profit triggers a review for Live Brokerage, where the caps come off entirely.
Nothing is charged during this phase. Your subscription ended at the evaluation.

Max Trailing Drawdown: Based on Highest Closed Balance at EOD.
The Max Trailing Drawdown ensures you maintain a sustainable trading approach while scaling your account. Here are the details:
- If your account balance decreases, the drawdown level remains fixed and does not move downward.
Breach Condition:
− If your account balance falls below the trailing drawdown level, your account is considered breached, and trading will stop. If you are trading an Elite Sim Funded Account, your account will be closed. If you are trading an Elite Challenge account, your account will be paused until your anniversary billing date, or you may purchase a reset prior to your anniversary date and begin trading immediately.

− Note: There is no consistency rule in the Elite Challenge phase.
What is the Consistency Rule?
To become eligible for a payout, the Consistency Rule requires that no single trading day's profit accounts for more than 25% of your total profits. After a payout is taken on an Instant Sim Funded account, your total profits reset, and the consistency rule begins again based on new profits moving forward. This ensures that traders demonstrate steady performance rather than relying on one or two highly volatile trading sessions.

+ For a limited time, the 3.5% processing fee is fully waived on FundedNext Performance Reward transfers to FNmarkets. During this campaign, 100% of your payout reaches your FNmarkets Standard account, and your 30% bonus is calculated on that full amount — nothing is deducted.
What are the minimum and maximum limits for the 30% Performance Reward Deposit Bonus?
- Minimum: USD 50 (gross, before deduction) sent from the FundedNext Performance Reward. After the deduction, roughly USD 48.25 is received, and the 30% bonus on that is USD 14.48.
Bonus = 30% × 96.50 = USD 28.95.
Only the FundedNext-sourced USD 96.50 earns the bonus; the pre-existing USD 100 does not.

Section: Example 3: Locking at Initial Balance
− Your risk per trade idea should not exceed 1% of the account size (initial balance) in DX futures platform and a 2% risk of initial account balance on Tradovate, Ninjatrader and WealthCharts platforms. This includes:
− - Single Trade Idea
− - Layering/Splitting Positions
− - The 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
− This rule applies exclusively to Hola Prime (Funded or Direct) Accounts and does not extend to the Challenge phase. Violating this rule is considered a hard breach and will lead to the closure of your account.
− -
− Single Trade Idea
− The total risk on a single trade idea must not exceed 1% of the initial account balance (for DX Futures) and 2% of the initial account balance (for Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts).
− For example, on a $100,000 DX Futures account, your maximum allowed risk for one trade idea is $1,000.
− -
− Layering/Splitting Positions
+ Your risk per trade idea should not exceed 1% of the initial account balance on DX Futures platform and 2% of the initial account balance on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts platforms.
+ This rule applies exclusively to Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts and Direct Accounts. It does not apply during the Challenge phase. A violation of this rule is considered a hard breach and will result in account termination.
+ Stop Loss Requirement
+ Risk is determined by the maximum potential loss on a trade based on the stop loss placement.
+ - A stop loss must be placed within 3 minutes of opening a position or before closing the position, whichever occurs first.
+ - If no stop loss is placed within this timeframe, the position is considered to have infinite risk by default.
+ - Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes a hard breach and may result in account termination.
+ Once the stop loss requirement is met, risk is assessed based on the Single Trade Idea rule. This includes
+ - Layering / Splitting Positions
+ - 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
+ Layering/Splitting positions
If you open multiple positions on the same assets, same direction, with overlapping time, they are collectively treated as one single trade idea. This includes multiple entries opened and/or closed at different times.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such overlapping positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
In DX Futures, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 1% limit.
− In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 2% limit.

+ 0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
+ Compliance Outcome:

The 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
If you close a position and then open a new one in the same direction on the same assets within 10 minutes, the system considers this a continuation of the same trade idea.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such closely timed positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
In DX Futures, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 1% limit.
− In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, their cumulative risk is tracked against the 2% limit.
− Important Note
− - Stop loss must be placed within 3 minutes of opening a position or prior to closing the position, whichever occurs earlier.

+ - Trade 2 was opened 31 minutes after Trade 1 had been closed. As the time gap exceeded 10 minutes, Trade 2 is classified as a new trade idea.
+ - Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 had been closed. As it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of the previous position being closed, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
+ - Trade 4 was opened 6 minutes after Trade 3 had been closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes, it is also considered a continuation of the same trade idea.

Affiliate Program Eligibility Requirements
− Before applying, please understand that the Apex Trader Funding Affiliate Program is intentionally limited and highly selective. Apex does not operate a mass-market affiliate program, and approval is not guaranteed.
− Participation is reserved for individuals and organizations that consistently contribute value to the trading community through quality content, education, community leadership, and professional brand representation.
− If you do not already have an established presence within the trading or financial markets space, this program is likely not a fit.
− Apex seeks long-term partners who uphold the professionalism and reputation standards of the Apex brand while contributing positively to the broader trading community. Quality of audience, reputation within the trading community, consistency of content, and overall contribution to traders are valued far more heavily than follower count alone.
− Applications are reviewed carefully, and many will not meet the standards required for approval. Approval criteria may evolve over time as the program grows and matures.
− Affiliate participation is an ongoing privilege, not a guaranteed or permanent entitlement. All affiliates are subject to ongoing review, and Apex Trader Funding reserves the right to approve, deny, modify, suspend, or terminate participation in the affiliate program at any time and for any reason.
We are not looking for the most affiliates. We are looking for the right affiliates.
Qualifying Platforms & Activities
− Approved affiliates typically operate one or more of the following platforms, channels, or communities:
Live Streaming: Hosting live trading sessions, market commentary, or financial discussions on platforms such as YouTube or Twitch.
Social Media Channels: Maintaining active trading or finance-related content on platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or LinkedIn.
− Website or Blog: Operating an actively maintained website that publishes original content related to trading, indicators, investing, or financial markets. Eligibility is based on the quality, accuracy, and value of the content, not simply the existence of a website. Websites consisting primarily of mass-generated or AI-generated content may not qualify.
Trading Communities: Managing an active trading community through platforms such as Discord, Telegram, Slack, or Zoom.
Trading Education Platforms: Running a trading academy, mentorship program, or educational platform that provides structured learning content.
− While there is no single metric that guarantees acceptance, approval is based on Apex Trader Funding’s standards, brand alignment, and overall fit for the program. Approved affiliates typically demonstrate the following:
− - A meaningful audience or community within the trading or financial markets space
- Consistent publishing activity
− - Engagement from a trading-focused community
− - A track record of producing financial market content
− Application decisions are final, and the reasons for approval or denial will not be disclosed under any circumstances.
Content Expectations
Affiliates are expected to maintain a consistent presence within the trading community and produce original content related to financial markets.
− This may include educational material, trade breakdowns, strategy discussions, market commentary, platform demonstrations, or live trading sessions.
− Affiliates are expected to represent Apex Trader Funding professionally and support the integrity of the Apex ecosystem. Public statements, social media posts, or other communications that are inflammatory, misleading, defamatory, intentionally deceptive, or otherwise harmful to Apex Trader Funding, its employees, affiliates, or the broader trading community are strictly prohibited.
Engaging in such conduct may result in immediate termination and removal from the affiliate program without notice, at Apex Trader Funding’s sole discretion.

− By hitting cumulative payout milestones during your active live journey, you can unlock up to 2 additional live accounts, added directly to your existing live accounts.
− No new challenge, no funded stage, no starting over. The more consistently you profit, the more room you get to scale.
