SAVENOW (90% off)Apex runs 80-90% off nearly every week. A $100K EOD eval drops to ~$30 with 90% off. Discount applies to eval only, not activation or PA fees. SAVENOW verified live 2026-04-19.
Can you pass this eval?
At 55% win rate, 1.5x R:R, and $250 per trade, you'd need about 16 trades (6 trading days) to hit the $1.5K target. The variance at this risk size could breach drawdown before you get there.

Real talk
EOD trailing is genuinely forgiving - intraday swings don't count until close. Intraday trailing is much harsher (tracks unrealized P&L tick-by-tick). Most experienced traders pick EOD. Safety net locks drawdown once you hit starting balance + drawdown + $100.
50% rule only matters when requesting payouts. If you pass eval in one big day, you still need more profitable days on the PA to dilute below 50%. Doesn't apply during eval.
100% payout split is best in industry. BUT: PA closes forever after 6 payouts. $85-105/mo PA fee eats into profits. Payout ladder caps early withdrawals ($1K-$2.5K on first payout). After 6 payouts, buy a new eval to get a new PA.
You CAN copy your own trades across up to 20 PAs (Tradovate Group Copier allowed). Third-party copiers operated by someone else are PROHIBITED. Cannot share MAC/IP/credit card with other traders.
The verdict
Most popular futures prop firm. 100% payout split is unmatched. Constant 90% off sales make evals dirt cheap (~$30). But: automated trading PROHIBITED, PA has monthly fees ($85-105), max 6 payouts then PA closes forever. The 30-day eval window is new under 4.0.
Manual traders who want cheap evals with forgiving EOD drawdown. Great for running multiple accounts (up to 20 PAs). Best payout split in the industry.
Automated trading/bots PROHIBITED. PA has $85-105/mo fee. Max 6 payouts then PA closes permanently. No resets under 4.0. 30-day eval window (fail or expire = buy new). Inactivity rule: 2 days with $50+ profit per 30 days or PA closes.
