Head to head
Apex Trader Funding vs Funded Trading Plus
Apex Trader Funding and Funded Trading Plus 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. Funded Trading Plus 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 challengeGenuinely flexible — no time limits, no minimum days, EAs and news allowed, and a path to a lifetime 100% split — but watch the Symbol Loss Limit and the same-market-two-accounts profit-nullification rule.
Best for: Discretionary and EA traders who want maximum flexibility (no time/day minimums) and a fast route to a 100% split — and who avoid running the same symbol across accounts.
