Apex Trader Funding BOGO: 90% Off Legacy Evaluations, Second One Free

Apex announced the offer on X and describes it as the first time it has stacked two deals into one. The table restates the post.

The post marks the BOGO terms with asterisks but does not show the fine print.

About that deadline

Apex writes the deadline as 12pm EST. WealthCharts' partner page lists the same offer as ending at 12 noon ET, and Eastern clocks are still on daylight time on October 29, because they go back on Sunday, November 1. We treat 12:00 PM ET, which is 16:00 UTC, as the cutoff. If you plan to buy on Thursday, do it in the morning.

Apex's post gives examples for two sizes. Apex's Legacy product page lists all six sizes on three platforms. Account parameters are identical across platforms, but prices are not: Tradovate listings cost $50 a month more than Rithmic and WealthCharts at every size, and Tradovate PA fees are slightly higher on four sizes.

Rithmic and WealthCharts

Apex's 25K and 50K examples match these listings, which is why the post says "as low as".

Tradovate

Prices and PA fees are as shown on Apex's Legacy page on October 28. Per-evaluation figures are our arithmetic, half the 90% price, because Apex's post gives examples for two sizes only. Those two examples match the Rithmic and WealthCharts listings.

Account parameters

Apex lists no daily drawdown and no scaling on any Legacy evaluation size. Every listing includes real-time data fees, which Apex values at $55. Tradovate and Rithmic listings also include the NinjaTrader platform, a $75 value, and Tradovate adds the Tradovate license.

The post covers the headline mechanics. These are the gaps worth closing before paying.

Earlier Legacy promotions this year also advertised 80% off recurring months and a reduced PA activation fee. This post mentions neither, so do not assume they carry over. Apex's coupon page adds the standard exclusions: codes are for new signups only, and they cannot be applied to resets or PA activation fees.

Legacy is a separate product line, not a cheaper version of the current accounts. Apex says Legacy rules were not changed in the March 2026 overhaul, and that Legacy accounts stay on recurring billing until cancelled.

Details are in our guides to Apex 4.0, the reset policy, the consistency rule, the payout cap and the daily loss limit.

Apex's Legacy PA compliance page is a longer rulebook than the current one. Its sections include the One-Direction rule, the Flipping Trades rule, the News Trading rule, the DCA and Adding to Trades rules, a Legacy Max Contracts rule and a Legacy Safety Net requirement. The MAE and 5:1 risk-reward rules that were removed for new accounts belong to this older side, and our 5:1 risk-reward guide covers how they apply.

Who it fits

Traders who want a size the current lineup no longer offers, such as 250K or 300K, who want the option to reset a failed evaluation, and who can realistically pass inside the first month. For them the first-month price is very low.

Who should look elsewhere

Traders who want one-time fees with no recurring billing, the current 50% consistency rule or a simpler rulebook. The current accounts in our Apex cost guide and account sizes guide are the better match. We have not compared Legacy and current prices in dollars here, because current-account pricing should be checked live at checkout.

Do not hedge across the two accounts

A free second account invites the idea of taking opposite sides on the two. Apex prohibits hedging of any kind, including long and short positions on the same or correlated instruments, and its published rules extend that to offsetting positions across your own accounts. Our hedging guide covers the rule in full.

Do not treat evaluations as disposable

Apex's prohibited activities also bar stockpiling discounted evaluations to cycle through and blow up accounts in pursuit of windfall profits. A free second evaluation is a promotion, not a reason to burn accounts. If you run both with the same strategy, check the rules in our copy trading and multiple accounts guide first.

Count the second account's costs

Two open Legacy evaluations mean two renewal dates, and if both pass, two PA activation fees. On a 50K size, that is $250 in PA fees on Rithmic or WealthCharts and $260 on Tradovate, at the amounts Apex lists, on top of any renewal charges. Decide before buying what the second account is for.

Apex has put Legacy evaluations back on sale several times this year, including in July, late August and October, so a missed deadline is not necessarily the last one. Apex has not committed to a schedule, though, and it describes each return as limited.
