Apex Trader Funding: 30% windfall (payout) consistency
▶Apex Trader Funding 30% Windfall Rule: Why Payouts Get Frozen — 42s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
On Legacy PA/funded accounts, no single day may exceed 30% of your total profit balance when you request a payout (newer EOD/Intraday accounts reference a 50% rule). It applies until you've taken enough payouts to move to a Live account.
The gotcha
One windfall day silently locks your payout button — you're not failed, but you must keep trading to even it out below the threshold before you can withdraw.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
