Does Apex Trader Funding Have a Daily Loss Limit?
The Simple Answer

Below is a breakdown of how the Apex Trader Funding daily loss limit applies across every account type the firm offers.
Daily Loss Limit by Account Type
Breakdown by Account Type
EOD Drawdown Evaluation
On an EOD evaluation your daily loss limit is fixed by account size and does not grow as you make money. It is $500 on the 25K, $1,000 on the 50K, $1,500 on the 100K and $2,000 on the 150K. Hitting it does not fail the account. Apex closes your open positions at market and pauses you for the rest of the session, then the limit resets at 6PM ET and you carry on the next day.
Intraday Drawdown Evaluation
There is no daily loss limit at all on Intraday drawdown evaluations. Your only constraint is the intraday trailing drawdown itself, so nothing stops you trading part-way through a bad day. That cuts both ways: no forced break means a single session can run all the way into your drawdown.
Performance Account (PA)
On a funded Performance Account the daily loss limit scales up as your balance grows, moving in step with your contract limits. On a 25K PA it is $500 at Levels 1 and 2 then $1,250 at Level 3. On a 50K it runs $1,000, $1,000, $2,000 then $3,000 across Levels 1 to 4. On a 100K it is $1,750 for Levels 1 to 3, $2,500 at Level 4 and $3,500 at Level 5. On a 150K it is $2,500 for Levels 1 to 3, $3,000 at Level 4 and $4,000 at Level 5. Your tier is set at market close and never changes mid-session.
Final Comments
A daily loss limit is the rule most traders breach first, usually on a day they were already losing. Know your number before the session starts, and check it against your own platform rather than assuming the firm will stop you in time.
