Pros & Cons

Apex Trader Funding

✅ Pros
• Up to 20 simultaneous funded accounts — nothing else here is even in the same range
• Intraday-only trailing drawdown, noticeably more forgiving day to day than Topstep's stacked rules
• Keep 100% of your first $25,000 in profits — a strong incentive right out of the gate
• Frequent promotional discounts keep entry pricing genuinely competitive
❌ Cons
• EAs only work during the evaluation, not on a funded account — odd given how flexible the rest of the rule set is
• The 7-day evaluation window runs longer than Topstep's 2-day minimum
• That profit split drops to 90% after the first $25K tier. Still strong, just not the headline figure

My Funded Futures

✅ Pros
• 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 16,000 reviews — the best independently verified satisfaction score in this entire futures category
• No activation fee, which removes a line item several competitors still charge
• Next-day payouts, among the fastest turnaround in futures prop
• Starts at $77 for a 50K account, the cheapest entry on this list
❌ Cons
• Has to go flat during FOMC, CPI, and NFP releases — a real restriction if news events are part of your strategy
• Up to 10 accounts total, but only 5 can be funded simultaneously, a real cap next to Apex's 20
• Founded in 2023, a shorter history than Topstep's 2012 start
