Head to head
Apex Trader Funding vs Blueberry Funded
Apex Trader Funding and Blueberry Funded compared on the things that actually decide a challenge — profit split, drawdown type, the consistency rule, news and weekend trading — straight from each firm's decoded rulebook. Blueberry Funded edges ahead on FundedWiki's overall rating (8.3/10 vs 8.4/10), but the right pick depends on how you trade.
100% split and no daily limit make it the most generous futures eval on paper — but the unrealized-equity trailing drawdown that only locks at start + $100, plus consistency and scaling rules, is what blows accounts.
Best for: Disciplined manual intraday futures scalpers who size small, respect a hard stop, flatten before 4:59 PM ET, and can navigate the trailing-drawdown + consistency rules — not algo/HFT or swing traders.
Start a Apex Trader Funding challengeBroker-backed credibility, simple static drawdown and no consistency rule — but the strict no-close-during-news policy and the 1.5% per-trade-idea cap on funded accounts are the real traps.
Best for: Swing/intraday traders who want simple static drawdown and no consistency rule, and who don't scalp, news-trade or run HFT/arbitrage.
