How Apex decides your payout (current PA)
- Qualifying days. 5 days in the cycle, each with at least the minimum daily profit for your size ($50K: $250). source
- Consistency. No single day may be 50% or more of the profit since your last approved payout. Exactly 50% fails. source
- Safety net. Drawdown + $100 stays in the account for the life of the PA; only profit above it is withdrawable ($50K: $2,100 of profit derived). source
- Minimum and cap. Minimum $500; the cap rises with the payout number, and the PA closes after 6 payouts. source
Worked example: $50K EOD PA, first payout
With $3,600 of profit since the start (balance $53,600), 5 qualifying days and no day above $1,799 (so the best day stays under 50%), you could request $1,500: profit above the $2,100 safety net, limited by the first-payout cap of $1,500. Below $2,600 of profit (balance $52,600) no request is possible, because the $500 minimum would dip into the safety net. Apex currently pays 100% of the approved amount. source

"Request opens at" is the balance where the $500 minimum fits above the safety net derived. On Legacy PAs the safety net applies to payouts 1–3 only and a $500 minimum may dip into it. From the 6th payout there is no cap, and the 30% rule applies only until the 6th payout or a move to live.
Legacy PA (bought before 2026-03-01)
- Legacy accounts keep their original rules; no retroactive changes. source
- 30% consistency ("windfall") rule applies until the 6th payout or a move to Live. source
- Safety net (drawdown + $100) applies to the first three payouts only. A $500 minimum payout may encroach on it. source
- No maximum payout from the 6th payout on, provided the minimum balance remains after the payout. source
- The 8 trading days (at least 5 of them with $50+ profit) are counted since the last payout request: the page says "at least eight (8) trading days since the last request" and describes a steady 8-day payout cycle (48 trading days for 6 payouts). source
- $100K Static legacy accounts are not modelled (static $625 drawdown, minimum balance $102,600 and cap $1,000 do not follow the same safety-net arithmetic). unverified source

Frequently asked questions
How much can I withdraw from an Apex PA?
Profit above the safety net, between the $500 minimum and the cap for that payout number. For a $50K EOD PA the safety net is $2,100 of profit and the first-payout cap is $1,500; Apex pays 100% of the approved amount on current PAs (checked 2026-10-17).
When can I request my first Apex payout?
After 5 qualifying days, with the best day below 50% of cycle profit, and once your balance reaches the request level ($52,600 on a $50K EOD PA). Payouts are possible up to weekly.
How many payouts does an Apex PA allow?
Current EOD and Intraday PAs close after 6 payouts. Legacy PAs (bought before 2026-03-01) have no payout-count limit stated; their cap disappears from the 6th payout.
Does the Apex consistency rule apply to Legacy accounts?
Legacy PAs use a 30% rule instead of 50%, until the 6th payout or a move to live. The calculator applies the right one from your purchase date.
