What happens if…
Worked out from each firm’s published rules for one account on day one, from the starting balance. Simplified; the firms’ full terms decide.
You lose $1,500 on your first day.
Apex Trader Funding
The $1,500 daily loss limit is hit: trading stops for the day. You keep the account with $1,500 of drawdown left.
Traders Launch
That reaches the max drawdown: the account fails.
You’re up $500 by lunch, then close the day flat.
Apex Trader Funding
End-of-day trailing: nothing moves until the close, so closing flat leaves the full $3,000.
Traders Launch
End-of-day trailing: nothing moves until the close, so closing flat leaves the full $1,000.
You fail once and try again.
Apex Trader Funding
No resets are sold: a second try is a new evaluation, $3,180 in total at list price.
Traders Launch
Second attempt cost not captured yet.
