The payout clock is eight trading days

A withdrawal cycle is every 8 trading days. Inside it you need at least 5 days with $50 or more in net profit, and no single day may be more than 30% of the profit balance. On a $6,000 profit that cap is $1,800. The first $25,000 paid from an account is at 100%. After that the split is 90%. The $100K evaluation fee is $137. Passing the 6% target is the entry. It is not itself a check.

There is no published ladder in this rule set that says the firm doubles a $100K PA at a fixed profit percent. Do not trade as if that ladder exists. If a milestone increase is offered later, read the new trail in dollars before you raise contracts. Open a free Venasri account and keep one card per PA so a $50K trail is never copied onto a $100K login.

Twenty accounts are twenty trails

The unique allowance is up to 20 funded PA accounts at once. Twenty $100K books are a large notional number. They are also twenty copies of a $2,500 day and a $3,000 starting trail. A correlated NQ idea in all of them is one idea twenty times. A 60-point stop on one NQ is $1,200. Twenty of those is $24,000 of the same risk. Scale by keeping each book at micros until that book's own half-percent ticket can hold a full contract.

The trail on each PA follows peak unrealized equity until it locks at that account's initial balance plus $100. A spike in account three does not move account four, and it does not forgive account three. Equity Guard at 1.75% belongs on each MT5 mirror you keep, matched to that account's balance. Manual Trade Guard attaches stops on those MT5 fills. The futures stops are still placed per login.

Drop the percent after the first payout

Evaluation risk of 0.50%, $500 on $100K, is already the top of what five losses can spend inside $2,500. After you are paid, 0.35%, $350, leaves seven losses near the day. Four MNQ at 60 points are about $480. Two or three micros are the funded version. The 5:1 stop-to-target rule does not relax because you have a payout history. An 80-point stop still needs 16 points of target.

Minimum evaluation days are 7. The funded cycle wants 5 green-enough days inside 8. Both clocks punish a one-day hero. Bot Control can pause an MT5 book after a losing close and remind you of 4:50 PM ET. Unattended black-box bots remain prohibited on PA accounts. Semi-automated assistants may stage a stop. They may not run twenty accounts while you are away.

Growth still ends at 4:59 PM ET

Weekend holding is prohibited on every account you add. A scale plan that needs overnight inventory does not fit this firm. Flat all of them before 4:59 PM ET. The daily-loss basis also names a 30% maximum negative PnL per trade on PA accounts. Confirm that base before a "scale-in" adds contracts to a loser. Adding size to a red NQ is how one account's trail dies on the day you meant to grow.

The 100% split on the first $25,000 is the growth that is actually written down. Collect it by keeping each day under the 30% consistency share and each stop inside the trail that is left, not the trail you had at the open. Twenty clean micros beat one full NQ copied across the login list.

Frequently Asked Questions: Apex Trader Funding Scaling Plan and Funded Account Growth Across 20 Payout Accounts

How does Apex pay a funded account?

The first $25,000 withdrawn on an account is at 100%, then the split is 90%. Payouts are every 8 trading days, with at least 5 days of $50 or more in net profit. No single day may be more than 30% of the profit balance. Up to 20 PA accounts are allowed under one login.

Does Apex double a $100K account after a profit target?

The rule matrix does not publish a doubling ladder. The written growth path is the 100% then 90% split, and the option to run up to 20 Performance Accounts. Each account keeps a 2.5% day and a 3% intraday trail that locks at the initial balance plus $100.

What risk should I use after the first Apex payout?

Use about 0.35% to 0.50%. On $100K that is $350 to $500, which is a few MNQ on a 60-point stop, not one NQ. Five losses at $500 reach the $2,500 day. The 5:1 stop-to-target cap still applies, and every contract is flat before 4:59 PM ET.

Can twenty Apex accounts share one NQ idea?

They can, and the loss is then twenty times one stop. One NQ at 60 points is $1,200. Twenty of those are $24,000 of the same bet. Each trail is separate. Size each account from its own balance, and keep Equity Guard matched to that balance on any MT5 mirror.
