Apex Trader Funding, launched in 2021 and based in Austin, has become one of the most used US futures prop firms, helped by frequent heavy discounts on its evaluations. Traders pass a one-step evaluation to reach a funded account, keeping 100% of the first profit tier and 90% afterward.
It trades futures via NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView and Rithmic. There is no MetaTrader, so Market Structure Pro cannot be used, but it is a leading option for US futures traders.
The trade-offs are the futures-only focus, the monthly subscription and drawdown rules that reward disciplined trading.
