APEX OFFER
A single-phase evaluation with a strict rulebook.
Fundex has launched 1-Step Classic, a single-phase evaluation built around a 10% profit target and an 80% profit split once funded. Risk is capped at a 3% daily loss limit alongside a 6% static drawdown, and the evaluation carries a 5-day minimum trading requirement with a 3-minute minimum hold time per trade. Funded traders receive on-demand payouts.
Notably, 1-Step Classic bans copy trading between a trader's own accounts, a restriction that runs in the opposite direction of the change GoatFundedTrader made to its own copy-trading policy on October 6, 2026.
Two articles, one set of numbers.
A day after the launch, Fundex published a second article announcing price reductions for 1-Step Classic. The prices listed in that follow-up, ranging from $99 to $1,799 depending on account size, are identical to the prices given in the original launch article, which described those same figures as "base prices."
What we can't confirm: because both articles list the same numbers, we can't say what was actually reduced, or whether a reduction happened at all. We're reporting this plainly rather than repeating the "price cut" framing as fact.
A rulebook that trusts the trader less, not more.
The copy-trading ban is the more substantive detail here. Several firms have moved toward permitting copy trading between a trader's own accounts as a convenience feature, so Fundex explicitly prohibiting it on a new flagship product, in the same week GoatFundedTrader moved the other way, is a real point of divergence worth tracking as the industry's stance on multi-account management continues to split.
The pricing discrepancy is a smaller issue but a telling one for how firms communicate changes. A "price reduction" headline that doesn't actually change the price undermines a trader's ability to trust future pricing announcements from the same source, independent of whether the inconsistency was intentional or just a publishing error.
Questions, answered.
A 10% profit target, 80% profit split, 3% daily loss limit, 6% static drawdown, a 5-day minimum, a 3-minute minimum hold time, and on-demand payouts once funded.
Fundex published a price-reduction article a day after the launch, but both articles list the same $99 to $1,799 range, and the launch article called those figures "base prices." What was actually reduced isn't stated.
No. Fundex bans copy trading between a trader's own accounts on this program, the opposite of the direction GoatFundedTrader moved in on October 6, 2026.
