Daily loss limit
Ends your trading day without failing the evaluation, and does not change the end-of-day threshold.
Consistency
None during the evaluation; a consistency rule applies to payouts once funded.
Also
You pass as soon as the profit target is reached with every rule respected. Time limit: 30 calendar days from purchase.

Consistency

Minimum days
None: the evaluation can be passed in one day.
Apex changed its rules in 2026, and when the trailing threshold stops moving during an evaluation depends on the account type and platform: check Apex's current rules before you trade.
How Kova helps you track your Apex Trader Funding account
Loss limits as gaugesEnter your daily loss limit, maximum loss and profit target: Kova shows how much of each you have used, from your closed trades.
Warnings before the limitKova flags the account once you have used 70% of a limit, then again at 90%, so you stop before the firm stops you.
Your challenge replayed (Pro)Trade by trade, with your firm's drawdown type (end-of-day or intraday trailing): the first rule broken, the day and the trades involved.
What prop firms really cost you (Pro)Evaluation fees, resets, activations and payouts, firm by firm, in My prop firms.
My Edge on your futures tradesWhich instruments, sessions and setups make or cost you money, and what your departures from the plan cost.
Session reviewAfter each session, the facts of your day and one rule to apply at the next one.
Importing your futures trades
Kova imports TopstepX trade exports, Tradovate exports (orders, positions or performance report) and NinjaTrader trade exports as CSV files, on the free plan. For any other CSV file, Kova recognises the columns and you check everything before importing.
Kova works from your closed trades: your firm's dashboard remains the reference for your account's status.
What is the difference between Apex's EOD and intraday evaluations?
In the EOD evaluation, the maximum loss is recalculated from your end-of-day balance and a daily loss limit ends your trading day without failing the account. In the intraday evaluation, the threshold follows your peak balance during the session, open profits included, and there is no daily loss limit.
Can Kova replay an Apex intraday trailing drawdown?
Yes, with Pro: Kova replays the account trade by trade with the intraday trailing threshold and shows the first rule broken, the day and the trades involved. It works from closed trades, so an open loss that touched the threshold without being closed is not seen; Apex's dashboard remains the reference.
Can I import my Apex trades into Kova?
Yes, if your account runs on Tradovate or NinjaTrader: export your orders, positions or performance report from Tradovate, or your trades from NinjaTrader, as CSV. Kova recognises the columns and you check everything before importing.
Is Kova affiliated with Apex Trader Funding?
No. Kova is an independent trading journal. The rules on this page come from Apex Trader Funding's own help pages, listed in the sources below; Apex Trader Funding's site and dashboard remain the reference.
Is Kova free for futures traders?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit: journal, dashboard, TopstepX, Tradovate and NinjaTrader file import, and one prop firm account with its loss gauges. Pro ($29/month, cancel anytime) adds all your accounts, the challenge replay and My prop firms, which totals fees, resets and payouts firm by firm.
Kova is not affiliated with Apex Trader Funding. Not investment advice: trading involves a risk of loss, and most traders do not pass their evaluation.
