What is the Apex consistency rule?

To request a payout on an Apex funded account, no single trading day's profit can exceed 50% of your total profit. If your best day is more than 50% of your cumulative profit, you are not yet payout-eligible and must add more profit on other days to bring that share down.

How do I calculate the 50% consistency rule?

Divide your best single day's profit by your total profit. If the result is 50% or less you pass. To become compliant, your total profit needs to reach at least your best day divided by 0.50.

Does the consistency rule apply to evaluations or funded accounts?

The consistency rule is checked when you request a payout on a funded (PA) account. It is not a pass/fail rule on the evaluation itself, but planning for it during the evaluation makes the funded stage far smoother.

Apex won't pay out if one big day carries your account. The consistency rule caps your best day at 50% of total profit. Enter two numbers and see if you're eligible — and if not, exactly how much more you need.

What the Apex consistency rule actually is

When you request a payout on an Apex funded account, Apex checks that you didn't get there on one lucky day. The rule: your highest single day of profit can't be more than 50% of your total profit at the time of the request. One enormous day and a pile of small ones won't pass — they want to see profit spread across your trading.

The math is simple: best day ÷ total profit. If that's 50% or less, you're consistent. If it's higher, you're not eligible yet — and the fix is not to make your big day smaller (you can't un-trade it), but to add more profit on other days until the big day's share drops under 50%. The number you need is best day ÷ 0.50 in total profit.

Example: total profit $5,000, best day $3,000 → that day is 60% of total. Too high. To comply you need total profit of at least $3,000 ÷ 0.50 = $6,000 — so about $1,000 more, made on other days.
The rule rewards exactly the behavior that keeps accounts alive: small, repeatable days instead of one hero trade.

Why this rule trips people up

Most traders only discover the consistency rule when they go to withdraw and get blocked. They blew past the profit target on one monster day — which feels like winning — and then can't touch the money. Planning for 50% from the start means your funded stage ends in a payout, not a surprise.

FAQ

Is the Apex consistency rule 30% or 50%?

Apex's long-standing consistency threshold is 50% of total profit for any single day at payout time. (Legacy accounts used 30%.) Apex changed this, so check your own dashboard and set the threshold in the calculator to match — the math works for any percentage.

Does it apply to the evaluation or the funded account?

It's checked at payout on the funded (PA) account, not as a pass/fail on the evaluation. But trading consistently during the eval builds the habit you'll need to actually withdraw.

Can I fix a non-compliant day?

You can't shrink a day you already traded. You bring the ratio into line by adding more profit on other days until your best day is 50% or less of the new total.

Passing is one thing. Not blowing it first is another.
