Comparator · true cost
What you pay per $1,000 of drawdown — so a 50K and a 150K plan compare directly, whatever the size. Each card uses the firm's current best-value plan (its size is shown). Sorted cheapest first.
Bulenox
Each size sells with two drawdown engines ($1,500–$5,500): Option 1 is a real-time intraday trail that counts floating P&L and documents no stop, while Option 2 is EOD with a daily limit that locks at initial balance + $100.
Only Option 2 (EOD) carries a daily limit, from $400 to $4,500 by size, and it is soft: it suspends the rest of the day without failing the account.
The 40% rule applies only when requesting a Master Account payout: no single day may account for more than 40% of total profit, blocking the payout without breaching the account.
Weekly Wednesday payouts ($1,000 minimum, after 10 traded days) at 100% of the first $10,000 then 90/10 — but declining the mandatory move to a live account after 3 payouts closes the Master with no payout.
50K: monthly subscription ~$175/month (often $125 with a coupon), no activation and no separate reset.
Apex Trader Funding
Trailing drawdown of $1,000–$4,000 by size (EOD or intraday line) that locks at starting balance + $100 in the PA, with unrealized P&L counting toward a breach even on the EOD line.
Soft daily limit of $500–$2,000 by size that pauses your session without failing the account; intraday evaluations have no daily loss limit at all.
No consistency rule in the evaluation; in the PA no single day may account for 50% or more of total profit since your last approved payout, checked when you request one.
Weekly payouts after 5 qualifying days, $500 minimum, at a 100% split but hard-capped at 6 payouts per PA, after which the account is closed.
50K: ~$197/month list, but with near-constant promos (up to ~90% off, ~$20/month). One-time ~$85 activation when funded. No paid resets on current evals.
Elite Trader Funding
Multiple drawdown engines by plan: 1-Step uses live intraday trailing where unrealized peaks raise the floor (the firm does not publish a lock level for it); EOD plans move the floor only at close and lock at starting balance + $100; static plans never move.
Only the EOD plans ($1,100–$2,200) and Diamond Hands ($1,500) carry a daily limit, and it is hard: touching it, open losses included, fails the account unless you buy the TradeShield add-on.
Instead of classic consistency, funded payouts use the ATD system: you need 8–10 active days each earning at least MAX($200, 23% of your best day); the 1-Step keeps a classic rule whose percentage the firm doesn't publish.
On Elite sim accounts you keep 100% of only the first $12,500 then 90%, with payouts processed every Wednesday and requiring 15 Active Trading Days for the first two cycles then 10 thereafter. LIVE ELITE (uncapped 80/20, $250 min) triggers at whichever comes first: 5 payouts, 50 Active Trading Days, or the $25,000 sim cap.
50K: one-time from ~$90 (OG plan), no activation. $47 reset (Fast Track has none). Price conflicts across sources.
