Review

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.

One of my favorite firms there is. Payouts take a bit longer than the rest of the industry but I have still been paid out within 5 days every time with Apex. Great firm for beginners and advanced traders. Only firm in the industry that allows 20 accounts which is amazing for scalability.

Very good firm with easy and transparent rules. We can scale maximum account through this prop firm like we can purchase 20 account and copy trade them. No bs rules, heard few payout delay but never heard payout denials from them. Customer support is what they should work on like setting up discord should help, it's easy and more convenient than their way for submitting the problem and waiting for it. Overall good firm and now no activation fees are goated, worth the try.

Cheap accounts and sales, not fan of their payout rules and their path to live rules, on the fence about trying them again but will continue to evaluate any upcoming changes.

Without a doubt, it's one of the best-known prop firms, being the first one I was able to enter this world with, thanks to its accessible evaluations, although the activation fee is a bit high.

They are great until they are not. Had 20 account and got multiple payouts from these accounts, until suddenly I was moved live and couldn’t withdraw. I blew the accounts after that and couldn’t purchase again. TBH I did make a lot of money on them but they still changed the rules after I purchased.

Review

Traded the Apex $50,000 account and it was a mixed bag. Customer service isn't great, though their reputation has improved since they rolled out no more payout denials a couple months back, which was needed since their rules used to be confusing compared to other firms. You can still hold 20 accounts which is the main draw, but now there's a cap on every payout instead of the old uncapped structure. It's still solid value since a $2,000 cap across 20 accounts adds up to $40,000, but if you were chasing those bigger payouts, that's no longer realistic, even if it makes sense for their long term sustainability. Dashboard still feels dated, though they're working on it. Overall the only reason to go with Apex over everyone else is specifically wanting 20 accounts with one firm. Otherwise I'd point people toward Lucid, Tradeify, or even Alpha first.

Review

The new no activation accounts and bundle feature is good. But their dashboard is worst. Real time dashboard, updating profits, losses and consistency in realtime is a better. The trading rules are little sketchy, unlike lucid and tradeify this rules have hidden meanings. Overall good, but as of what i heard payout delays is still there and live program is worse.

The new Apex is with EOD accounts and no MAE rules is without a doubt the best financial opportunity you have as a trader to escape the rat race. I had a 15k payout a few months back which paid my costs for some time. The new Apex has minimal rules other than a 50% consistency and a DLL - which helps the longevity of the account. Payouts are approved very quickly - no more long reviews. Highly recommend!
