Apex Trader Funding Restores Metals Trading

Apex Trader Funding has brought back metals trading for its evaluation and funded accounts, allowing traders to again access futures contracts in gold (GC), silver (SI), copper (HG), and platinum (PL). The move comes after a period during which metals were unavailable on the platform.

The reintroduction is paired with a limited-time promotion offering 90% off evaluation fees. The discount applies to all evaluation packages and runs until Tuesday, May 19. The firm is also offering discounted lifetime price-action (PA) fees during the same period.

Under the promotion, traders can take advantage of features such as the ability to pass the evaluation in a single trading day, no consistency rule during the evaluation phase, no maximum adverse excursion (MAE) or 5:1 rule, and built-in scaling once funded. Apex Trader Funding notes that the flexibility is intended to give traders a straightforward path to becoming funded.

The return of metals addresses demand from traders who prefer commodity-focused futures strategies. With the 90% discount, the firm aims to attract both new and returning clients ahead of the promotion's expiry. No additional details were provided about future metal contract availability beyond the current lineup.
