Redline Futures vs Apex Trader Funding
Looking for Apex Trader Funding alternative? Here's how Redline Futures Funding stacks up against Apex Trader Funding on the parameters that actually move money — pricing, profit split, drawdown rules, and payout terms.
Redline's 80/20 split is flat with no consistency rule, no scaling rule, and no 30%-of-profit safety-net cap. Apex pays a 90% split but withholds the first $25K and adds consistency limits Redline doesn't enforce.
Apex offers very large account sizes (up to $300K) and aggressive sale pricing — discount codes routinely shave 80%+ off list. The Rithmic-based stack is well-supported across third-party platforms.

| Account sizes | $25K, $50K, $100K, $150K | $25K - $300K |
| Profit split | 80% trader / 20% firm — flat, no thresholds, no holding-period gotchas | 100% of first $25K profits to trader, 90/10 thereafter |
| Consistency rule | None | No single day > 30% of total profits |
| Daily loss limit | None — only the trailing drawdown applies | None on most plans (trailing DD only) |
| Overnight / weekend holds | Overnight + weekend holds permitted | Most plans must close before 5pm ET |
| Payout cap | $1,500 per cycle | $1,500–$2,500 by plan, with safety-net minimums |
