Head to head
Apex Trader Funding vs FundingPips
Apex Trader Funding and FundingPips 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. FundingPips edges ahead on FundedWiki's overall rating (8.3/10 vs 8.8/10), 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 challengeStatic (non-trailing) evaluation drawdowns, up to 100% split and $2M scaling make it one of the more winnable challenges — as long as you avoid the strategies it deems 'toxic.'
Best for: Discretionary swing/intraday traders who want a static (non-trailing) eval and a high or instant split — and who avoid scalping/arbitrage/news-spike styles.
