What’s up Traders so one of the biggest questions I get is what’s the best account size to get in Apex Trader funding or in other platforms obviously platform to platform things might um change based on um trailing thresholds profit goals and uh things like that but right now I’ll just stick to uh Apex Trader funding so I would say that if you’re new to trading I would probably say the uh the 50 not even the 50k I’d probably say 25k trade
Of8 plan is is the best I say trade of8 because you don’t have to download rhythmic Trader Pro you don’t have to set that up you don’t have to uh do all that it’s super easy web based it’s the simplest way to get going is using trade of8 um I say the 25k account because the profit goal is, 1500 trailing threshold is, 1500 that’s a one to one it’s pretty simple um this is the best one to get into it says
Contract size four is the biggest listen if you’re trading four contracts um you shouldn’t even be trading four contracts when it comes to this honestly you should probably be trading one contract because 10 points with one contract is 200 bucks and basically that’s like uh what is it eight trades um would get you with a 10-point profit Target would get you the goal um you know I would say that this is the best one for newer people now me personally I
Trade the 50s because you almost still have the one: one but it’s double the profit goal um you know which is not a problem because I could I normally trade uh probably three to five minis uh at a time five minis at 10 points is 1,000 bucks so I only have to make three trades and basically or three three trades winners and um I’m at the goal actually I hit the goal pretty quick on the 50 I have no issue passing
Currently I’m passing probably one out of every two so that’s not really an issue at all also got to remember real quick so I can touch on it it’s not 187 a month they’re always running a deal actually right now is 90% off and this one is only $18 so you know 18 bucks gets you this account um let’s just look at some of the other ones real quick I don’t think you know this the profit goal jumps dramatically it jumps
1,200 and the trailing threshold only goes up $250 that to me is not worth it you it means you have to get $1,250 more dollars and it only gives you 250 Less on the draw down that’s not really uh great in my book the 100K I think is the worst one um trailing threshold is only $500 more dollars than the 50k but the profit goal is actually double and now you have a 2 to1 profit goal is twice as high as
The threshold and you’re not really getting um yeah I’m going to talk about the capital and everything after I go through uh the rest I would say if you’re going to shoot for something 150 is pretty good um as you can see the trailing threshold jumps 2,000 bucks which is nice and the profit goal only goes up uh it goes up 3,000 but that’s a 50% jump on profit goal but the trailing threshold goes up way more than 50% so you
Know if you’re looking for a bigger account than 50s or 25 the 150 is a good spot um with 17 contracts you could probably pass this in two trades I I’ve done it um you know it it’s not it’s hard for newer newer people and this one’s the absolute worst they’re pushing the 250s right now so if you pass it’s only $85 one time fee um but listen you got to get 15 grand of profit and the trailing threshold is only
6,500 so that’s more than a 2: one um this is the hardest one to pass once you’re pass you still have to do $6,600 uh to pull money out um I would say also just remember so with the 250 just say you get oh 250 everyone’s like oh 250 you can only pull out $3,000 a month with the 50k you could still pull out $2,000 a month and the 50ks are you pass that with $3,000 of profit this you need $115,000
A profit so it’s so much easier to stack up like five I can get 5 50ks over um with $115,000 of profit well $155,000 of profit year would only get me one account 550s I could pull out 10,000 bucks 125 uh 250 I can only pull out three grand and you’re going to say oh well after three months you could pull out whatever well the same goes to the 50s so say you start with a 50k account and after three months
I’ve scaled that to 70 grand I can pull out the 20,000 bucks um you know 250 same thing you scale it up to 200 70,000 you can still pull out 20 grand once you get out of the buffer in the beginning you could pull out any amount of money as as you want you got to just be trade for three months um I think a the smaller accounts are where to go the probability of you passing and pulling money out are
Far superior than going after these large accounts and to be honest with you it it’s only giving you extra ,000 of of pull out money a month for three months so and then once you’re out of the weeds and like say your 50k account goes to 60,000 you could go and start trading big numbers at like 10 contracts 10 contracts at 10 points is two grand so you can scale that 50k account up really fast really really fast so I would
Say stick with the 50s or the the reason I say 50 over 25 25 is easy to hit a $155,000 draw down in the beginning but I guess once you’re out of the woods um you know and say you turn this two you know 25k into uh I don’t know say 30,000 your draw down is like 5K so you’re in the same boat as the rest of them you have a 5k draw down now and you can trade whatever you want
You just can’t go over four contracts um you you know you can still do damage four contracts is 800 bucks every 10 points but on the 50s you can go up to 10 and you can really start doing damage um that’s why I like the 50s and that’s why you see a lot of Traders doing the 50s so I would probably say 50s is the best one once you’re a little seasoned but if you’re brand new I would go with the
250s um there’s a 30% consist rule so it’s like 300 and something bucks a day you can’t go over in the beginning but that’s pretty much it so if you have any questions about the accounts comment below be sure to follow and I hope uh you guys understand this a little bit more
