What are Apex Trader Funding lot size and position limits?
Source review:
Source: Official Apex Trader Funding rules (verified )Apex Trader Funding does not enforce strict lot size limits beyond what your drawdown and daily loss rules allow. Your maximum safe position size is determined by your risk per trade relative to your daily loss limit and stop loss distance.
Practical position limits by account size:
- -$25,000: $1,500 max drawdown = $15 safe risk per trade (1% of limit)
- -$50,000: $2,500 max drawdown = $25 safe risk per trade (1% of limit)
- -$100,000: $3,000 max drawdown = $30 safe risk per trade (1% of limit)
- -$150,000: $5,000 max drawdown = $50 safe risk per trade (1% of limit)
- -$250,000: $6,500 max drawdown = $65 safe risk per trade (1% of limit)
- -$300,000: $7,500 max drawdown = $75 safe risk per trade (1% of limit)
With a 20-pip stop on EUR/USD ($10/pip per standard lot), the safe lot sizes are:
- -$25,000: 0.07 lots per trade
- -$50,000: 0.13 lots per trade
- -$100,000: 0.15 lots per trade
- -$150,000: 0.25 lots per trade
- -$250,000: 0.33 lots per trade
- -$300,000: 0.38 lots per trade
With trailing intraday (floor moves with every tick), reduce position size after profitable periods because your floor has risen closer to your current balance.
