About us and our editorial policy

Last updated
Best Futures Discount is an independent guide to Apex Trader Funding. We explain, in plain English, what an evaluation costs and how Apex’s rules and payouts work. We also show how to enter our affiliate code DLAB at Apex’s checkout.
Who runs this site
This site is run by the Best Futures Discount team, and guides carry that byline rather than a named writer.
How we research
- Apex’s own sources first. Every price, rule and payout figure comes from Apex Trader Funding’s own website and help center. We read those pages live on apextraderfunding.com and last reviewed our guides against them on .
- Sources you can check. Each guide has a “Sources for this page” list that links to the Apex pages it’s based on.
- No guessing. Where Apex’s pages are unclear, we say so instead of filling the gap.
- Downsides next to upsides. We cover the activation fee, the payout caps and the rules that can close an account, not only the headline benefits.
- Opinions are labeled. You’ll find them under “Our take” and “Our verdict”, in pros and cons lists and in our review, and they weigh trade-offs. We don’t tell you which account to buy or how many contracts to trade.
- No hype. We don’t publish testimonials, payout screenshots, equity curves or countdown timers.
How we keep guides up to date
Apex changes its prices and rules from time to time, so we re-check its pages regularly. Each guide shows the date we last reviewed it against Apex’s own pages. List prices carry their own date, currently .
Every price and rule value on the site comes from one place in our code. When Apex changes one, we change it there, and every table and sentence that uses it updates at the same time. When we mention one of Apex’s sales, we give the end time Apex shows, and the sale wording comes off our pages once that time passes.
Corrections
If anything on this site differs from what Apex publishes, Apex’s own website wins. Check the current terms on apextraderfunding.com before you buy.
When we find a mistake, we fix it and update the date on that page.
