Liked most: 20 accounts scaling

Liked least: Rules, support, website

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.

Liked most: Pricing, best prop firm for beginners.

Liked least: Rules

Very good prop firm for beginners, which is why it was my first prop firm. The only thing I don’t like is the tough rules, they distract me from trading.

Liked most: Rules

Liked least: Dashboard

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.

Liked most: Cheap evals

Liked least: Customer service

I bought a few evals with them and was almost about to pass one of them but they wanted kyc all of a sudden and I co.oleted it but they just still blocked my evals and my account stopped working. Still not sure what happened but I just gave up.

Liked most: Scaling

Apex is Long time back Leading firm in the space... The thing I like the most is the Scaling ability of this firm is just top-notch. Rules are as same as the any other firm,, took a payout wth them the process was smooth took a time to reach the payout to the bank but was all fluent.

Liked most: The only firm I got a payout from

Liked least: The web interface and the new set of rules

People complain about apex a lot. All I can say is that this is the only firm I got payouts from (2). Most people complain because they did not follow the rules, but they won´t tell you that. It is afer all the only firm allowing 20 funded accounts at the same time, so use that wisely
