On a current Apex Performance Account you can request a payout after 5 qualifying days, provided no single profitable day makes up 50% or more of your profit since the last approved payout. Each request must be at least $500 and can't exceed the cap for that payout number. On a 50K EOD account the six caps are $1,500, $1,500, $2,000, $2,500, $2,500 and $3,000. Your balance also has to be at least $500 above the safety net ($52,600 on a 50K account). Apex pays 100% of the approved amount, and the account closes after the sixth payout.

Cammy Capital explains Apex's updated rules, EOD option and payouts. It's an independent video, so the figures below and Apex's help center come first.
Apex pays out of a Performance Account, or PA. To withdraw you need five qualifying days, a profit pattern that passes the 50% check, and a balance that sits far enough above the safety net. Each of those has an exact figure, and the figures change with account size and with whether you picked the EOD or the Intraday drawdown.
Everything on this page comes from Apex's own help center. We read the EOD payout and Intraday payout articles on October 14, 2026. Both show a last-modified date of April 28, 2026, and we found nothing newer. Where the help center says nothing, we say that instead of guessing.
| Account | Daily minimum (EOD) | Daily minimum (Intraday) | Safety net balance | Minimum balance to request |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $100 | $100 | $26,100 | $26,600 |
| 50K | $250 | $200 | $52,100 | $52,600 |
| 100K | $300 | $250 | $103,100 | $103,600 |
| 150K | $350 | $300 | $154,100 | $154,600 |
The first two columns decide whether a trading day counts toward your five. The last two decide whether you can withdraw at all. The safety net and the minimum balance are the same on EOD and Intraday accounts. 150K is the largest size Apex lists for these products; the 250K and 300K sizes belong to the Legacy accounts that Apex stopped selling on March 1, 2026.
Put in your balance and the closed profit for each trading day since your last payout. The checker applies the table above, the 50% rule and the ladder below, and tells you what is missing. It runs in your browser and sends nothing anywhere.
This applies the figures in Apex's help center as we read them on October 14, 2026. It is arithmetic, not a ruling. Apex decides every request.
A qualifying day is a trading day on which you made at least your account's daily minimum. On a 50K EOD account that is $250. On a 50K Intraday account it is $200. You need five of them. They don't have to be consecutive, and Apex sets no deadline for collecting them. Five good days in one week means you can request that week.
A day under the minimum doesn't count, and it doesn't cost you anything either. A $240 day on a 50K EOD account simply isn't one of your five.
One gap in Apex's wording: the help center never defines "profit" for the daily minimum. We would plan around closed profit at the end of the session and not rely on open gains to push a day over the line. If a request turns on that difference, ask Apex support before you submit.
Apex's rule says no single profitable day may make up 50% or more of your total profit since the last approved payout. Read the "or more" carefully. A day that is exactly half of your profit fails.
Take a 50K EOD account with five days of $300, $250, $1,400, $280 and $270. All five clear the $250 minimum, so you have your five qualifying days. Total profit is $2,500, and the $1,400 day is 56% of it. The request is blocked.
Add a sixth day of $350. The total becomes $2,850 and the big day drops to 49.1%. The rule passes. The shortcut: your total profit has to be more than twice your best day. Here that is $2,800, so any profit beyond another $300 clears it.
Two things worth knowing. The window restarts after each approved payout, so a big day only hurts the request it falls into. And the help center says "total profit" without saying whether losing days reduce that total. The checker above uses net profit, which is the stricter reading. If your window has losing days in it, leave yourself some room.
The ladder is the most you can request for each payout number. It climbs as you go and it is higher on bigger accounts. You can ask for less, down to the $500 minimum, but a $500 request and a full-cap request each use one of your six payouts.
| Payout | 25K | 50K | 100K | 150K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $1,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 |

The "all six" rows are our sums of Apex's ladder; Apex doesn't print totals. The Intraday ladder is equal to or higher than the EOD ladder at every step, and Intraday also has lower daily minimums from 50K up. That is not free money. The Intraday drawdown trails your peak balance in real time, including unrealized gains, which is the harder one to live with. Our EOD vs Intraday comparison covers that trade.
The cap is on the number of payouts, not on dollars. If you have enough profit above the safety net to request the full cap, that is usually the better use of a slot. Small requests made just to move cash out spend slots you can't get back, because after the sixth payout the account closes.
The safety net is a balance floor that stays with the account for its whole life. Apex defines it as the account's drawdown limit plus $100, measured above the starting balance. On a 50K account that is $2,000 plus $100, so the safety net balance is $52,100. Only profit above that line can be requested.
To request, your balance has to be at least $500 above the safety net. That is where the "minimum balance to request" column comes from: $52,600 on a 50K account. The $500 is the minimum payout.
The account closes the day at $53,200. Profit above the safety net is $1,100. If this is your first payout (cap $1,500), you can request anything from $500 to $1,100. If you submit and then lose enough to fall under $52,600 before the request is processed, Apex denies it automatically. The account stays open and you can submit again once you qualify.
That last behavior is easy to miss. Apex says you can keep trading after you submit a request, but the request is denied without any action from you if the balance drops below the minimum. The same $52,100 is also where a 50K EOD account's trailing threshold stops trailing and locks at $50,100, per Apex's EOD drawdown article.
These are the questions we couldn't answer from the primary source, so we don't answer them here.
If any of these decide whether you submit, ask Apex support and keep the reply.
The 50% rule is tested on each account's own profit. If several accounts are traded the same way, one big day can fail the check on all of them at once. That is a sizing and exit problem you can plan around. It is a separate question from what Apex permits across accounts, which our Apex rules reference covers in its prohibited-activities section.
Corrections on October 14, 2026. Earlier versions of this page described the consistency rule as "more than 50%" and said the trading day is measured to 4:59 PM ET. Apex's wording is "50% or more", and its payout articles don't give a day-measurement rule. We changed both. We also added the safety net, minimum balance and $500 minimum payout, which the page didn't cover before.
