Apex is one if not the most known prop firm on the space. Adding the EOD trailing has been a major update in terms of the accounts they offer. Payout's validation are incredibly fast and customer experience is ok. The only thing that makes trading difficult on their accounts are some of the rules once you got the PA.

I wouldn't put to the top of the list due to having to carry the worry baggage with their move to live rules. Also, the fact that your passed evals expire after 7 days if not activated is shady in my opinion but they dont hide it. The upside is obviously the max allo limit compared to other firms.

I LIKEE APEX FOR THEIR ABILITY TO ALWAYS CHANGE AND ADAPT TO THE COMPETITIVE NATURE OF OTHER FIRMS. THEY USED TO ONLY HAVE TRAILING DRAW DOWN ACCOUNTS AND THEY WERE HARD TO PASS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE STARTING OFF. BUT OVERALL I LIKEE APEX

Apex is an amazing firm and the only reputed futures firm in the industry which allow you to trade upto 20 accounts together and achieve those big payout numbers, the only thing I don't like is their slow dashboard apart from that i love apex.

Apex has also helped me develop better patience and risk management. Trading with funded capital encouraged me to treat every trade like a business decision instead of chasing quick profits, and that shift in mindset has made a noticeable difference in my consistency. Customer support has been responsive whenever I've had questions, and the overall experience has been smooth from start to finish. While success ultimately depends on the trader, Apex provides a solid opportunity and the tools to help serious traders succeed. I'm grateful for the opportunities Apex Trader Funding has given me, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to build their futures trading career. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Firm has been out for a while. But the rule changes made it less desirable. They are prone to deny payout and the trading rules are very strict.

Review

My experience with APEX was **before their most recent rule changes**, so I can't comment on how they operate today. Prior to those changes, I genuinely considered APEX one of the best prop firms available. Their pricing—especially during the frequent 90% off promotions—was unmatched. I don't think there was another firm offering a comparable opportunity at that price point. The rules were fair, the platform worked reliably, and the overall experience was excellent. The only consistent downside I experienced was the payout speed. Although my payout was approved without issues, it took around a week and a half to receive the funds, which felt slower than it should have been. I did have one significant issue that ultimately made me stop trading with them. During a high-impact news event, I placed an order that wasn't filled until roughly five seconds later due to what appeared to be a platform execution issue. I had detailed execution data, including millisecond-level timestamps and order book depth, which supported my view that the fill was incorrect. I submitted all of this to their support team, but their response was simply that trading news is the trader's responsibility. While I understand that news trading carries additional execution risk, I didn't feel my evidence was properly considered. After that experience, I decided not to trade with APEX again. Overall, based on my experience **before the rule changes**, APEX offered exceptional value and was one of the strongest prop firms in the industry. My only real criticisms were the slow payout processing and how my execution dispute was handled.
