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.

It's the best platform ever in terms of withdrawals and discounts, I like it, but there's a simple problem that they don't support Egyptians

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.

Tried a mix of apex accounts for many years. Lots of rule changes over the years. Their accounts are now expensive more than other props. The only benefit I like about them is that they do 100% profits. The downside is slow payouts and to receive the funds. Support is on the OK side and they respond but not as fast as other firms. I would still recommend them because they pay and do not take splits.

Review

Bad... They had their time before they started to get rinsed off in 2024/2025. They started banning people that didn't even pull a lot of money out of their programs and I was one of them in fall 2024 when they added the new consistency rule. Their programs are cheap, the leverage is huge but the conditions you will find yourself in once you are funded are horrible. Risks of denials, poor communication, permanent ban with no explanations. I would avoid at all cost today, there are much more trustworthy firms out here. The most important factor when trading for a prop is knowing that you will be considered and paid out on time, with Apex this guarantee is long gone.

I would recommend trading with apex if you are looking for leverage through multiple accounts since they allow up to 20 PA’s. Their platform is ok, but definitely not as good as some of the other firms out there - It updates at the end of the day. Their email support is also reasonable, they answered my query within 48 hours. They also removed some of their less trader friendly rules and are now more competitive in the futures prop firm space. They are definitely a company I would recommend but not as your first firm because their are easier ones to take payouts from.

Apex Trader Funding is one of the best prop firms out there. Their platform is extremely reliable with great execution, and the rules are fair and straightforward. Payouts are fast and consistent — I usually get my profit split within 24-48 hours. The evaluation process is challenging but realistic, and their support team is quick to respond whenever needed. I've been able to scale my account multiple times without any issues. If you're serious about futures trading and want a trustworthy prop firm with fast payouts and solid infrastructure, Apex is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!
