Review for apex
Pretty average. The rules are kinda iffy but they've gotten better recently. I haven't gotten a payout from this firm but I've heard they deny some payouts. Their prices are good, always 90% off. I only recommend if you're an experienced trader. Good for scaling after getting max allocation on other firms.

Apex offers affordable evaluations, a straightforward dashboard, and the ability to manage multiple funded accounts, which makes it attractive for futures traders. The company has made meaningful improvements to its payout system, and many traders report receiving payouts successfully. However, the rules can still be confusing because requirements differ between legacy, intraday, and EOD accounts. The consistency requirements, balance thresholds, and six-payout limit on newer accounts reduce the overall value compared with firms offering uncapped funded accounts. Payout approvals appear more reliable than before, but the money can still take several business days or longer to reach your bank. Overall, Apex is a solid option when purchased at a heavy discount, but traders need to fully understand the exact rules for their account type before trading.

Personally i dont really use apex anymore because they keep increasing prices and the payout process took 2 weeks for me which is way to long compare to most other firms. also the trading rules were harder before but now it seems a bit easier but at the cost of higher prices. the dashboard is a bit outdated and not as informative either. the good side is you can scale lots of accounts so if your profitable then this can make you bank.

The introduction of their new End-of-Day accounts is a massive upgrade over the old trailing drawdown model, removing a ton of intraday stress. The updated dashboard makes tracking your status incredibly simple, so you always know exactly where you stand regarding rule compliance. For traders looking to scale, the ability to run up to 20 accounts simultaneously is a huge plus. They run 90% off sales so frequently that the initial cost to get started is so cheap. I'm not a fan of the drawdown buffers or the rules on their intraday accounts. Their payout reputation is also not the best.

Apex is a great firm for advanced level traders. No one else in the space lets you have 20 accounts and it can be a game changer for making a lot of money. Most of their rules are pretty standard with the updated changes - their account are very easy to pass with news which is great! The only downside is the amount of times they have changed their rules and live account plans. Seems like every month they change something and it's hard to keep track of the rule changes. They do pay out and it is seamless. I have gotten over 10 payouts from them.

I have used APEX but have never taken a payout so I can’t comment on that from personal experience. Trading-wise I was using accounts when trailing drawdown was the norm. Trailing drawdown is the worse drawdown to have to trade with. A spike in your favor followed by a drop back down can blow your account even if your position was in profit. They have since added a live program that is extremely questionable, with traders waiting months for information. I know traders personally who have cashed out tens of thousands of dollars. But I think there are far better options than apex especially if you are starting out.

Review for apex
I previously traded an Apex Trader Funding 25K Intraday account. My goal was to qualify for payouts and gradually scale up to the maximum of 20 accounts. One of Apex's biggest advantages is its large capital allocation. Many traders have received substantial payouts by managing multiple Apex accounts, making it one of the best prop firms for traders who want to scale their trading business. Unfortunately, my 25K Intraday account was breached because of the intraday trailing drawdown rule. That experience made me realize that managing an intraday trailing drawdown is not as easy as it seems. Now that Apex has introduced EOD accounts, I believe they are a much better fit for my trading style. I'm planning to purchase up to 20 EOD accounts soon and work toward building them consistently for long-term payouts.

The firm looks good if you want to have 20 accounts. Otherwise I feel there are better firms out there you should try first before going for Apex when it comes to rules and cost.

I've traded with Apex Trader Funding for a considerable amount of time and have used both their evaluation and funded accounts. They are the first firm i ever used and received a payout from. One of the biggest advantages of Apex is the low-cost evaluations, especially during their frequent discount promotions. This makes it very affordable to get started compared to many other futures prop firms. The profit targets are achievable, and they offer a wide range of account sizes to suit different trading styles. The platform support is another strong point. Being able to trade through platforms like Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and others gives traders flexibility depending on their preferred setup. Order execution has generally been reliable in my experience, and I haven't encountered any major issues while placing or closing trades. The payout system has improved significantly over time. Once you understand and follow the firm's rules, payouts are straightforward, and I've had a positive experience receiving them. Apex has also built a large community of traders, so it's easy to find educational content, strategy discussions, and support from other users. That said, Apex is a rule-based prop firm, and traders need to pay close attention to the trailing drawdown and risk management requirements. New traders often underestimate how quickly the trailing threshold can become a problem. Customer support has been responsive whenever I've needed assistance, although response times can vary during busy periods. Most common questions can also be answered through their documentation and community resources. Overall, I would recommend Apex Trader Funding to futures traders who have a consistent trading strategy and solid risk management. The affordable evaluations, reliable execution, multiple platform choices, and established reputation make it one of the strongest futures prop firms availa
