Understanding Apex's 30% consistency rule

PA only — not during evaluation

The consistency rule sits outside the evaluation entirely. A blow-out day covering 90% of your evaluation profit still passes without issue. The 30% cap only kicks in once you're trading a live funded Performance Account and have a payout request in.

How the 30% is calculated

Apex looks at total PA profit — every closed trade since the PA started — and checks whether any single calendar day made up more than 30% of that total. On a 50k PA with a $3,000 target, no single day can show more than $900 in realized profit. The 25% recommended cap shown above ($750) leaves a buffer for rounding or partial fills at payout review.

Why the rule exists

It's there to filter out traders who get lucky on one highly-leveraged trade, withdraw immediately, and try to repeat the cycle. Apex wants repeatable, distributed profitability — meeting the rule is evidence of a process, not a single good day.

The consistency rule counts realized, closed P&L only. Open floating gains don't count toward the daily total until the position is closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Apex consistency rule apply during the evaluation?

No. The 30% cap only applies on a funded Performance Account (PA). During the evaluation itself, a single day can account for any share of your total profit — there is no consistency requirement until you are trading a live funded PA.

What happens if I exceed the 30% consistency rule on Apex?

A single day above 30% of your total PA profit flags the account for review and can hold up a payout request. Apex doesn't fail the account mid-session for this — but it is grounds for withholding payment. Capping your daily target at 25% instead of 30% leaves a buffer.

How do I use a Pine Script to enforce the consistency rule?

Add a daily profit cap variable that tracks realized P&L for the current session, then block new entries once it hits 25–30% of the PA profit target. See our Pine Script snippets library for a daily profit cap you can drop into an existing strategy.
