Which should you pick?
Apex Trader Funding: Apex is one of the cheaper, more forgiving futures evaluations — no daily loss limit and a trailing-until-target drawdown that locks once you clear the target. The catch is on the funded side: strict consistency (30%) and multiple funded rules trip up traders who pass easily. Best for disciplined swing/scalpers; punishes lumpy P&L.
MyFundedFutures: MFFU's Starter plan is one of the highest theoretical pass rates in futures — one phase, static-until-lock drawdown, no daily loss on some plans. Payouts require a small profit buffer and a handful of trading days. Attractive for high-frequency scalpers; less kind to swing traders who take one big loser.
On the numbers above, MyFundedFutures is the better expected-value choice for a balanced profile — but archetypes are not you. A scalper and a swing trader can flip this ranking entirely, because drawdown type punishes lumpy P&L far more than frequent small P&L. Run your own drawdown numbers first, then simulate your real stats.
