Why Apollo
The rules, written down
Prop-firm terms are usually vague where they matter and precise where they don't. Here is every structural difference in our rules, with the live figures from our own catalog.
No deadline on your evaluation
Nothing counts down. An Apollo evaluation has no expiry date, so you wait for the setups you actually want instead of forcing trades against a clock.
No inactivity rule
Step away for a week or a month and your account is exactly where you left it. We never close an account for not trading.
Tradeable from 5¢ to 95¢
One published band across every series we list: anything priced between 5¢ and 95¢ is yours to trade, longshots and near-locks included. The band is the same for everyone and it is written down.
No lifetime limit on what you can withdraw
Payouts are capped at $1,000–$3,500 per rolling 30 days depending on your account size, and that window resets. There is no total you can reach after which we stop paying you.
Profit above the cap stays yours
Hit the 30-day cap and the rest of your profit does not disappear. It stays in your account, and it stays withdrawable in the next window.
The consistency rule never fails your account
If a single day is more than 40% of your profit, the pass waits and a payout waits — that is the whole penalty. You keep the account and keep trading until the profit spreads out.
Multi-leg trades, on a funded account
Combine 2 to 20 different head-to-head games into one position at one price — the legs' combined odds less a 10% house markup, capped at 500x. It rides the same risk engine, so a combo counts against your limits like anything else.
Every figure above is read from the live plan catalog when this page loads. Full per-plan rules, including drawdown and daily-loss limits, are on the plan cards.
Forecast Lab
We measure whether you were right, not just whether you won
P&L rewards size and luck as readily as judgement. The Forecast Lab scores the judgement separately, from your own settled trades.
Your score appears after 5 settled lots.
A score with no hidden weights
0 to 100, centred at 50 for no demonstrated edge. It is fully determined by two published numbers: your net cents per contract, shrunk toward 50 by a bootstrap p-value. The formula is printed on your own page.
Calibration, not just accuracy
When you buy at 30¢, do those really come in about 30% of the time? The calibration curve answers that, alongside a Brier score measured against the market's own baseline.
Sliced by where your edge is
Category, price band, time to close, side, singles versus parlay legs. Closing-line value too, so you can see whether you are beating the price you took.
On the leaderboard, on its own board
The scoreboard ranks by returns and by Forecast Score on separate tabs, so the best forecaster and the biggest winner are two different questions.
One evaluation, then our capital
Pass once and keep up to 80% of what you make, on a clock that never runs out.
