Apex Trader Funding updated its help center article "WealthCharts Commissions & Instruments" on 2026-10-08, adding E-Micro Gold (MGC) to the list of instruments available on the WealthCharts platform, with a commission applied per side and round turn. The change expands the tradable instrument list for traders running WealthCharts on both evaluation and funded accounts.

What changed and when

The help center article governing WealthCharts commissions and instrument availability was updated, with the change detected on 2026-10-08. The update adds E-Micro Gold (MGC) to the instruments traders can execute on WealthCharts, with a commission applied per side and round turn. The source article is Apex Trader Funding's own help center page, "WealthCharts Commissions & Instruments."

What it means for traders on WealthCharts

Traders running evaluation or funded accounts on WealthCharts now have MGC available alongside the platform's existing instrument lineup. Commissions on WealthCharts deduct automatically from the account balance as trades execute. The mechanism works the same way regardless of instrument: the per-side rate multiplies by the number of contracts on each side of a round-turn trade. The article's own illustration uses NQ as an example: a 1-contract trade opened and then closed to flatten involves 2 contracts total, so a $1.55 per-side rate produces $3.10 in round-turn commission. Applying that same mechanic to MGC, the per-side rate produces the corresponding round-turn cost.

Where this fits in Apex Trader Funding's offering

Apex Trader Funding, operating since 2020, runs futures-only accounts through Rithmic and Tradovate brokers, with execution available across Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, WealthCharts, and TradingView. That gives traders flexibility to choose their preferred charting and execution environment while trading the same futures instruments. The firm's account lineup spans 30 configurations across $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000 sizes, all structured as one-step evaluations with a 100% profit split and payouts available every 5 qualifying trading days (subject to payout conditions). Adding MGC to WealthCharts gives traders on that platform another lower-margin gold instrument to work with inside the existing evaluation and funded-account structure.
