The Math: Value & Risk

Two derived metrics every trader should check before buying any prop firm evaluation. Calculated automatically from the plan's profit target, max drawdown, DGT discounted price, and activation fee.

Value Score $11.25 per $1

Earn $11.25 per $1 of max payout for every $1 of all-in cost (DGT discounted price + activation fee). Higher = better value entry.

Drawdown Buffer 66.7%

Max drawdown as a percentage of profit target. Lower = tighter risk-to-reward. Below 50% means very little breathing room; above 100% means generous drawdown relative to target.

DGT Verdict

Recommended · 7.5/10

Cheapest Apex eval at every size, lower $79 activation fee, and no eval DLL. Real-time trailing floor is the trade-off — give back intraday gains and the floor stays elevated.
