Apex Trader Funding: Minimum trading days
Evaluation: minimum 7 trading days (non-consecutive), no maximum. Payouts: first after 5 qualifying days (each meeting the size's minimum daily profit), then 8 trading days with at least 5 over ≥$50 profit before the next.
The gotcha
A 'trading day' only counts if it meets the minimum-profit floor — tiny scratch days don't tick the counter.
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.
