Apex Trader Funding
What Apex publishes
“Copy trading across PA accounts under your personal name and business name is allowed.”
— Apex help center, “How Many Paid/Funded Accounts Am I Allowed to Have?”
- Same direction only. The same article adds that the hedging rule still applies — all PAs must trade the same direction, with no hedging of correlated assets.
- 20 active PA accounts max, counted across everyone in the same household, companies and connections, on Rithmic, Tradovate or WealthCharts together. Going over 20 makes you ineligible for payout and risks forfeiture and closure.
- No limit on evaluation accounts, per the same page.
- Copying with other traders is banned. Their Prohibited Activities page lists trade copying with other traders — along with shared computers, IPs and cards — as strictly forbidden.
- No hedging of any kind — holding long and short on the same or correlated instrument at once is prohibited. Their rules also ban fully automated trading; the copy-trading rule above sits alongside that, covering trades you place yourself.

LAST CHECKED: JULY 17, 2026 — Apex's help center blocks automated readers, so wording was verified against archived copies of these pages (Feb 16 / Mar 25, 2026) plus current search captures. Confirm against the live pages.
If you copy with Copymoar
- Copymoar only copies accounts you connect yourself — there is no signal-sharing between different people's setups, which is the version Apex bans.
- It never holds a buy and a sell on the same market across your accounts — the hedging Apex prohibits.
- One leader drives each copy group, so followers stay same-direction by construction.
Platform note: Copymoar connects to Apex accounts on Rithmic and Tradovate. WealthCharts accounts are not supported.
