I traded with them a while back and they have rebranded since then but, honestly, I still cannot trust them. They did pay me out and if you want to scale with 20 accounts, they're still the leader in the clubhouse. But for most traders, they don't need 20 accounts, they need 1-5 accounts that they manage properly and scale with other firms from there. They had some terrible rules at one point - MAE, 5/1 scaling, intraday trailing etc etc. - they've gotten rid of most of them it appears but even their EOD offerings now are subpar. Their account prices without activation are no longer competitive, and with activation fee they are on the bottom end of the market. Plus even though they are a one-time-payment shop now, they still only give you 30 days to pass your eval (no rebill, no extension). I would much rather spend less money and go with Tradeify, Lucid, or MFFU and not have to worry about passing my account in 30 days. I do like that they support both Rithmic and Tradovate, as well as WealthCharts.
Liked most: Execution is very fast and very fast payout with 100% for trader
Liked least: daily drawdown
I am very old user of apex and i liked this firm when they introduced EOD plans. Their rules are now very simple and in favor of traders. As compare to others they have very low charges per trade or you can say $0 as per my experience. Only this don't like is daily drawdown if they remove that then it will be very good for traders who needs some breathing room. My first payout was from apex so i always recommend this firm to all the traders.

I have never reached a payout with Apex. The feeling that once I do and take a couple payouts I will get transferred into live environment that will never eventually happen is real. But that’s just a word of mouth. Could be misleading. So I also had legacy accounts and broke max available drawdown on a trade rule. Then spiraled, overtraded and tried to fix my loss. At the moment I am on EOD account. Seems good, just know there is an activation fee awaiting jnkess you pay for no activation fee account!

Liked least: Their trailing drawdown models
So I started trading with them back in may but only passed a account recently after my 19th attempt of failing my last eval, no I'm funded with them, soon I'll start taking payouts from them also their support is so good, heling with any question you might have in mind, for example I had cleared a $50K legacy acc and I have asked them if it has any time limit for the payment window they explained me that I have no time limit for legacy accs and I'll be rebilled for eval and that's alright because I passed that account under a week and now I have took additional 5 legacy accs after knowing how they work, soon enough I'll get a payout, i like apex because I've been seeing them in business from long time and they pay traders
Liked most: Up to 20 accounts and $3M in total capital gives serious traders room to grow that almost no other firm offers.
Liked least: Thier Live program is not good, in most cases and forces you to go live before a payout
Apex is the volume king of futures prop for a reason, letting disciplined traders run up to 20 accounts at once. I like thier legacy plans better than the new ones. Though they had a reputaion of paying out in huge numbers to traders, recently traders complaining about sending to thier no so good live program even before a single payout. Platform wise we have good selection.

Apex Trader Funding looks solid for beginners. I chose the 100K Challenge account. Rules are clearer now especially with EOD drawdown option, and the ability to run multiple accounts is a big plus. I like using WealthCharts platform with them, it works smoothly. Pricing is competitive during sales. Only downside is the activation fee after passing and the consistency rule that can delay payouts. Overall good value if you trade with discipline.
Liked most: I like Apex for its clear rules, built-in scaling, flexible trading options, and 100% payout split on approved rewards.

Apex has been a great experience so far—simple, trader-friendly, and a solid platform for growing as a trader.

Apex's 50K EOD account on Tradovate was actually a pretty smooth experience. Tradovate is user-friendly and I didn't run into any platform issues.
The funny part? 😅 The rules are so simple that they're actually dangerous for someone who's brand new to futures. I blew up my account on day two... hahaha.
My only real complaint is the Apex dashboard. It feels a bit too basic, and I found it difficult to keep track of my trading stats. That said, it could just be because I'm still new to the platform.

One small thing I actually rate with Apex is the payout request doesnt force you to sit on your hands. You can submit the withdrawal and keep trading straight away. Obviously you still need to protect the required balance, otherwise the request can get denied. I like that flow because some firms basically make payout day feel like a trading holiday. Here you can keep working the account instead of staring at the dashboard waiting. Just dont revenge-trade the payout money back into the market lol.

The tier system on Apex is kinda interesting. Your closing balance decides what size and DLL you get for the next session, so you can build up from smaller size instead of instantly having max contracts. But yeah, dont get too comfortable after a good run — if the EOD balance drops below a tier, your limits can get cut back the next day. For me that makes the account feel more dynamic than the usual “you have X contracts, good luck” setup. You just gotta respect where your account actually sits instead of trading like you already unlocked max level.

Liked most: Legacy plans
Liked least: Rules and old looking web
I traded the old Apex Legacy setup and the rules were definitely more hands-on than the newer accounts. The 30% negative P&L rule meant I had to watch open drawdown on each trade, not just the account balance. Then there was the 5:1 risk/reward rule on top of it. ngl it made me think twice before letting NQ trades run too far against me. Bit restrictive sometimes, but it did force me to clean up my risk instead of just clicking and praying.

Liked most: Eval stacking upto 20
Liked least: Contract scaling
Apex has a pretty interesting setup with the scaling levels. You dont just randomly get more contracts during a trade — your level gets set after the close and that decides the size for the next session. I actually prefer that coz it stops me from revenge-sizing after a good trade. Took a few sessions to get used to it, but once I understood the levels it felt pretty straightforward. For NQ especially, having that limit is probably a good thing.

Apex is pretty straightforward once you get past the actual trading part lol. I liked that hitting target doesn’t instantly throw you into another mess — they review it after market close and then the PA shows up to activate. Just don’t sleep on that 7-day window 😂. Overall the dashboard/process felt pretty easy to follow, which is a big W when you’re already focused on trading.

Liked most: EOD model
Liked least: Complex support
Apex has changed quite a bit from the older setup I remember. I liked the newer EOD structure because the drawdown is calculated at the end of the day instead of constantly trailing your intraday equity. The 50K EOD eval also doesn't require a minimum number of trading days, so it can technically be completed in one day. The funded side is where you really need to read the rules though — 5 qualifying days, 50% consistency, safety-net balance and a limited number of payouts all come into play. Apex has a lot of information available, but getting a straightforward answer from support can apparently be hit or miss based on other traders' recent experiences. Overall, it's a firm where knowing the exact account rules matters more than just looking at the account size.

Compared to recent program changes, I really love the legacy evals which r upto 300k. I used from 25k to 300k learned a lot from those. only one time i passed an eval n got funded but missed it to make payouts. But I really love those also they provide proper Rithmic and Cqg Tradovate from the beginning itself. Really missed those evals. Now they r offering with offers some time. Will but some legacy evals at great discount soon

I like the rules on the newer accounts. The EOD drawdown is nice, and there’s no daily loss limit. You can also trade during news, which is a big plus for me. They also let you have up to 20 accounts so there’s a lot of flexibility. The pricing is pretty good too.
The payout rules do still include things like minimum trading days, profit requirements and a 50% consistency rule, so you definitely need to understand those before trading. Overall, I think Apex is a solid option. Good pricing, decent rules, lots of account options, and a strong payout setup.
