Review for apex

Review

The Apex 50k EOD account is a premier choice for traders seeking a more forgiving, professional environment, primarily because its End-of-Day trailing drawdown removes the anxiety of intraday stop-outs by only updating your threshold at the market close. This structure allows your positions the necessary room to breathe during volatile sessions, perfectly complementing a strategy built on discipline rather than pure luck. With no forced minimum trading day requirements, you can capitalize on momentum and accelerate your path to funding once you hit your profit target. The 50k size serves as the perfect "sweet spot" for building a fleet of accounts, offering sufficient contract sizing to maximize returns while keeping individual risk levels conservative. While a one-time activation fee is standard to cover your data and platform access for the life of the funded account, the potential for 100% payouts on your first $25k makes the investment well worth it. By adhering to a steady, consistent approach that respects the Daily Loss Limit and the 50% consistency rule, this account becomes a powerful vehicle for scaling your capital and reaching your financial goals.

Apex is a horrible prop firm. I made 11k with them. They require a video of my strategy and me taking my trades for 3 days straight. They deny payouts consistently. I would not recommend them.

Apex is a very solid propfirm and one of the cheapest. However now with the EOD trailing, they changed the maximum amount of payout per PA account so take care of that. Before on a 50K it was $2000 USD now its a mx $1000 USD until you get multiple payouts which its very hard to get.

Apex trader funding has no way to be contacted other then the ai chatbot that connects you to human and also has a very bad payout process where they take up to two weeks to payout and they used to make you write your trading strategy which is really messed up I had to do that but atleast you dont have to do any of those anymore you can have twenty accounts where in your last payout before live you get up to a 60,000 dollar payout if you have all the twenty accounts in the 50k account alone and they have eod now which is really good their website takes 15 minutes for it to load for me sometimes and their dashboard is pretty wack and you have to have 2fa in order to login which I personally dont like because my phone is away from me at times and I can only look at the code in my phone it would have been better if the 2fa could have somehow requested the code with email and this firm would be recommended for either people that are trying to scale accounts or begginers I wouldnt recommend apex to intermediates is because they should probably try to become consistent and max allocation with better prop firms such as lucid or tradeify and this is good for beginners because this firm can have really strict rules and if you get a payout consistently with a prop firm that requires 2.6k buffer on a 50k accounts which is your drawdown and some this can make you really good at trading with other firms and apex is obviously good for traders that are scaling caues of those 20 accounts

Apex intraday accounts are very inexpensive, making them a great option for new traders. However, they do have some drawbacks. The intraday drawdown rules can be challenging to manage, and customer support is limited. Despite these downsides, they are among the cheapest funded accounts available, making them an excellent choice for beginners looking to gain experience at a low cost.
