Review for apex
Apex did a come back with the EOD accounts BUT it’s still too much behind other competitors. First payout approved fast but it takes many days to actually hit the account. Evals keep trailing 2000 loss even after you over the first 2000 (for example if you get to 52500 on a 50k eval and than hit 50500 you will actually lose account whilst other firm stop at 50100) and also you have to have a 50% max profitable day and +ve balance every payout cycle. Be careful about these rules. Also the shady live situation with people waiting over 2 months for it and no known deadline.

Unbeatable promotions and powerful multi-account scaling. Apex Trader Funding is the ultimate choice if you want to run multiple accounts simultaneously using a trade copier. Their frequent 80-90% discounts make entering the evaluation process incredibly cheap. With the launch of the new 4.0 model, getting rid of monthly recurring fees and restrictive rules like MAE or the 5:1 RR ratio is a massive upgrade for retail traders. Payouts are highly automated now. Just make sure to strictly follow the 50% consistency rule on performance accounts, and Apex will be a very profitable partner for your futures trading.

It was a very good firm back in the days … sadly with the 20 accounts they also denied many payouts and had tough rules. They tried to change, but the new rules are even more strict and not even that easy. I would not try them out anymore because of the vague rules and payout denials. Better firms to try!

My experience with Apex Trader Funding has been incredibly frustrating, and I strongly advise traders to look elsewhere. The overall user experience is poor, and the platform constantly feels like it is built to make you fail rather than succeed. It is an incredibly stressful environment for anyone trying to trade professionally, as you feel like the company is actively rooting against your success. The core issue starts with their rules, particularly the live trailing drawdown. This mechanic tracks your peak profit in real-time, meaning even if a trade pulls back slightly before you close it, your drawdown limit tightens. This makes it exceptionally difficult to maintain an account during normal market volatility. To make matters worse, Apex is notorious for constant rule changes, moving the goalposts on traders without fair warning or transparency, leaving you to guess what is currently allowed. Navigating their payout process is absolute hell. The only real pro to this platform is that they usually honor the very first payout and offer an attractive 100% payout split initially. However, securing any subsequent money is a total nightmare. They issue payout denials for seemingly random reasons, hiding behind vague clauses. Even when a payout is finally approved, the processing times are ridiculously slow, and it can easily take more than two weeks for the money to actually hit your bank account. If you encounter any issues with your account or a denied payout, do not expect any help from their customer care. The customer support is notoriously bad, with response times sometimes stretching out for more than a week just to get a generic reply. You are left completely in the dark while your capital hangs in limbo. Between the moving goalposts, the stressful drawdown mechanics, the delayed money, and the terrible support, the high payout split is simply not worth the massive headache.

I wasn’t a fan of the dashboard layout, as I found it less intuitive than some other firms. The intraday trailing drawdown was also my biggest drawback since it can feel restrictive and may not fit every trading style. Other than that, my experience was fairly neutral. Everything worked as expected, and I didn’t run into any major issues. It gets the job done, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

Strict Trading Rules
Not recommended for apex
terrible firm. haven't traded the "new" apex since I got banned for withdrawing too many payouts. Many hidden rules and denied me of over 6k in payouts, don't recommend at all. When I was not getting denied it was smooth though.

I used to use Apex back when they didn't have the best rules, but they have stepped up there game now with the eod drawdown accounts and allowing 20 accounts max allocation overall my experience with the intraday drawdown wasn't good because it doesn't fit my trading style the firm is still solid if you want to scale capital by a lot.

I've only tried a few 50k EOD accounts due to Apex having DLL limits. For 50k accounts, the DLL is $1,000 . I havent received a payout from them yet and i do not plan on buying more accounts with them. I've seen and heard all the horror stories of Apex denying putout or sending people to live after 1 payout. At the moment, their live program sounds like a scam with all the delays and low starting balance.
