While those new accounts brought simplified structures, they also introduced one huge limitation that frustrated many traders: <strong>a hard cap of 6 total payouts per account.<sup><\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apex has officially brought back <strong>Legacy Evaluation Accounts<\/strong> for a limited time\u2014and the promotion has been extended through <strong>Tuesday, August 11th at 11:59 PM ET<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a breakdown of what makes Legacy accounts different, how the payout math works, the key rules you need to follow, and whether grabbing a Legacy account makes sense for your trading setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legacy vs. New Accounts: The Real Difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_e0fed58bf205f8ef-102\">The biggest drawback of Apex\u2019s standard\/new account structure is the payout ceiling.<sup><\/sup> Under the new accounts, regardless of whether you have a 25K, 50K, 100K, or 150K account, you are capped at <strong>six payouts maximum per account<\/strong> before the account closes.<sup><\/sup> On a 50K new EOD account, those six capped payouts net you around $13,000 total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes Legacy Accounts Better?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>100% Profit Split on First $25k:<\/strong> You keep 100% of the first $25,000 in payouts per account (90\/10 split afterward).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NO Payout Cap After Payout #5:<\/strong> On payouts 1 through 5, there are payout caps (e.g., max $2,000 per payout on a 50K account). But starting on <strong>Payout #6 and onward, there is NO cap.<\/strong> You can accumulate profit and take out massive, uncapped withdrawals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More Drawdown Cushion:<\/strong> A 50K Legacy account comes with <strong>$2,500 in drawdown<\/strong>\u2014providing $500 more breathing room than the $2,000 drawdown on standard accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No 30-Day Expiry:<\/strong> Legacy evaluation accounts don&#8217;t expire after 30 days like some of the newer rules dictate; they continuously renew until passed or canceled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legacy Payout Rules &amp; Math (50K Account Example)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_e0fed58bf205f8ef-107\">Trading Legacy accounts requires understanding specific payout criteria and calculation rules.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Minimum Trading Days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Legacy:<\/strong> Requires a minimum of <strong>8 trading days<\/strong> between payouts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New Accounts:<\/strong> Requires <strong>5 trading days<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The 30% Windfall \/ Consistency Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_e0fed58bf205f8ef-110\">No single trading day can make up more than <strong>30% of your total account profit<\/strong> at the time of a payout request.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to calculate your required profit:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$$\\text{Minimum Profit Required} = \\frac{\\text{Highest Profit Day}}{0.30}$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> If your best single trading day yielded <strong>$1,230 in profit<\/strong>, you need at least <strong>$4,100 in total account profit<\/strong> ($\\$1,230 \/ 0.30$) before you can request your maximum $2,000 payout on a 50K account.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Safety Net Requirement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_e0fed58bf205f8ef-111\">For your <strong>first 3 payouts<\/strong>, you must keep the &#8220;Safety Net&#8221; in your account balance.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Safety Net Definition:<\/strong> Initial Balance + Drawdown Amount + $100.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a <strong>50K account<\/strong>, the safety net threshold is <strong>$52,600<\/strong> ($50,000 + $2,500 drawdown + $100).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To request a full $2,000 payout while leaving $500 in the safety net buffer, your balance must reach <strong>$52,600+<\/strong> in total profit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>After the 3rd payout<\/strong>, you no longer need to maintain the safety net and can draw deeper into your profit buffer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strict Compliance &amp; Risk Management Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_e0fed58bf205f8ef-113\">Apex explicitly enforces strict risk controls on Legacy accounts. Failing to adhere to these will get your payout denied or account flagged:<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mandatory Risk Management:<\/strong> Every trade must utilize either a pending or mental stop-loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>5:1 Risk-Reward Ratio:<\/strong> Your average losing trade should not exceed 5x your average winning trade. High-risk &#8220;scalp 1 tick, risk the whole trailing drawdown&#8221; strategies are strictly prohibited.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Account Sharing or Stockpiling:<\/strong> Accounts must be traded only by you on your own machine. Using third-party pass services, sharing accounts, or manipulating the simulation is an instant ban.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing Comparison: Is Legacy Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing evaluation costs, Legacy accounts offer an affordable entry point, though activation fees differ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Legacy 50K Account<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>New 50K Intraday Account<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Eval Purchase Fee<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>$19.70<\/strong> (90% OFF)<\/td><td>~$19 &#8211; $39<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Activation Fee (PA)<\/strong><\/td><td>$125<\/td><td>$85<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total &#8220;All-In&#8221; Cost<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>$144.70<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>~$104.00<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Drawdown<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>$2,500<\/strong><\/td><td>$2,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lifetime Payout Cap<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>UNCAPPED<\/strong> (After 5th payout)<\/td><td><strong>6 Payouts Max<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you tend to blow evaluations often, starting a Legacy account for just <strong>$19.70<\/strong> keeps your upfront risk low.
