Customer Reviews (8567)

  • Dannie Kris
    1 year ago

    The customer service here is quite disappointing. It feels like they’re indifferent to the needs of their community.

  • Marcella Fahey
    1 year ago

    Trading with Apex has been a consistently smooth experience for me. The payout process is reliable and the support team is quick to respond to any inquiries I have. I really appreciate that! Thanks, Apex!

  • Margret Hansen
    1 year ago

    The team is fantastic; they really excel at addressing all of my inquiries. It’s a superb opportunity to improve your skills independently, without resorting to any shortcuts.

  • Kylie Daugherty
    1 year ago

    I experimented with six different accounts at this firm, and I have to say, my experience was far from satisfactory. The first two accounts had their trades cut off unexpectedly, and I was left scratching my head, convinced my risk levels were appropriate. The trailing drawdown they impose makes it virtually impossible to trade effectively.

    On my subsequent accounts, I tried various strategies, but each one yielded the same frustrating outcome. As a day trader who relies on my own capital and has experience with firms like FTMO and Topstep, I found this situation particularly disappointing. With Apex, if you want to hold a trade for just a few hours, you have to monitor it obsessively. One minor wick movement, especially if you’re trading more than a micro lot, can send your trailing drawdown limit through the roof.

    The pricing of the accounts is tempting, but it’s clear why—the pass rate must be very low. Honestly, the voice-over guy in the tutorials comes off as rather smug, and his arrogant demeanor should have raised a red flag for me about the company’s integrity.

    In the end, I lost about $1,000 trying out their offering. Unless you can dedicate all day to hovering over the charts just to keep an eye on your trailing drawdown, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. The difficulty in achieving any meaningful profits here is significant. For futures, I’d suggest heading over to Topstep; at least they have a solid reputation.

    I find it hard to believe that anyone has ever received a payout of a million dollars as they claim. There’s just no way a trader could hold a large enough position long enough to hit anywhere near $50,000, let alone a million. All in all, my impression of this firm is less than favorable.

  • Carmelo Homenick
    1 year ago

    ATF stands out as my top pick for proprietary funding. Over the past year I’ve had a positive experience with them. Their communication is especially impressive, with quick responses that make the whole process smoother.

  • Gunnar Lind
    1 year ago

    In my view, this is the top proprietary trading firm out there!

  • Elenor Hettinger
    1 year ago

    I have been trading with Apex for over a year now, consistently enjoying a payout rate of 75%. However, I’ve grown increasingly concerned that the firm may be facing financial issues. Recently, it feels like they’re overwhelming traders with various demands that negatively impact our mental well-being. For example, they have introduced probation status, insisting that we maintain a safety net zone, which wasn’t outlined in our original contract. Additionally, they require video verification to explain our trades, but it’s unrealistic to expect traders to cover their entire thought process in just 5 to 10 minutes. Trading often requires patience and time to wait for the right setup, sometimes taking an hour or more. I’m truly disappointed with the direction Apex is heading. It seems they’re not adhering to the rules we all signed, and these late payments appear to be a tactic to manipulate traders’ emotions.

  • Verlie Wintheiser
    1 year ago

    The payout process is quick and easy, which I really appreciate. There’s absolutely no hassle involved, making the entire experience smooth. This efficiency is a significant plus when working with a trading firm.

  • Letha Muller
    1 year ago

    You can anticipate swift initial payouts within the first month or so, but after that, you’ll need to create comprehensive video recordings of your trading activities. These videos should show your face and hands while you explain your trades and the logic behind them before you can continue receiving payouts. It’s important to note that Apex has the authority to refuse any payments they consider not meeting their criteria. As for customer support, it is exceptionally prompt for new clients; during the first couple of months, they’re very attentive, often responding within hours or a few days. However, around the six-month mark, the response time may slow down, taking anywhere from three to nine days.

  • Candelario Johnson
    1 year ago

    Working with this firm has been a fantastic experience overall. One standout feature has been their helpdesk, which operates with impressive efficiency. Because of the level of support and service I’ve received, this is now the sole trading partner I engage with.

  • Christophe Lang
    1 year ago

    I want to give a huge shoutout to Apex Trader Funding for approving my very first payout request yesterday! I’m truly grateful for the supportive community and the firm itself that have boosted my confidence and encouraged me to stick to a systematic approach. Honestly, I feel incredibly secure trading with this proprietary firm. There’s just so much confidence and stability that comes from working with them.

  • Deonte Bernier
    1 year ago

    Apex has truly made my dreams come true! The experience was incredibly smooth, quick, and straightforward. I couldn’t have asked for a better trading partner.

  • Mellie Swift
    1 year ago

    My experience with Apex has been nothing short of excellent. From successfully navigating the evaluation process to completing the checkout for my funded account, everything went smoothly. If you’re considering diving into trading with a funded account, I wholeheartedly recommend this firm.

  • Brandi Bergstrom
    1 year ago

    There was a slight delay with my initial payout, but everything else went smoothly and on schedule. Looking ahead, I’m optimistic that the upcoming payouts will be quicker.

  • Marquise Bode
    1 year ago

    I had a fantastic experience overall! The customer service was impressively responsive when I asked for my name and address to be updated. Last month, I successfully passed my first account and also requested my initial payout on the 5th. I received the funds without any issues just yesterday. In fact, I already asked for my second payout yesterday as well, and I’m eager for more in the future! However, I’m not too keen on the three-month cap for withdrawal amounts. It would definitely be better if they could reduce that to just one month instead.

  • Mariela Bernier
    1 year ago

    I’m thrilled to have received my first payouts! Apex truly came through as promised. I submitted my request on the 1st, it got approved on the 14th, and by the 15th, they started the payout process. Just four banking days later, on the 21st, I saw that sweet ACH deposit hit my account. Yes, it’s legit! I’m so glad I stayed with Apex for two years, and finally, it’s paying off!

  • Jalyn Fisher
    1 year ago

    Apex is my top choice when it comes to proprietary trading firms; they’re simply the best. After years of trading experience, Apex has truly restored my faith in prop firms. They were the very first prop firm I worked with, and I plan to keep collaborating with them in the future. I want to clarify that I’m not being biased—I’ve tested other firms too. This isn’t some automated response; I actually trade live on my YouTube channel, FocusedTrading|FTG, and you can check it out for yourself. Plus, I have payout receipts to back it up. When it comes to prop firms, APEX is unquestionably number one!

  • Ruthe Lakin
    1 year ago

    The payout arrived right on time, just as promised.

  • Sonia Lowe
    1 year ago

    Apex truly stands out as one of the top choices available. It consistently delivers an exceptional trading experience. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced trader, their platform offers robust tools and resources that cater to all levels. The support team is also quite responsive, which adds to the overall positive experience. In a highly competitive field, Apex maintains its reputation for excellence, making it a firm that traders can rely on.

  • Nicola Effertz
    1 year ago

    I had a few minor hiccups when I was setting up my first payment, but I have to say, Apex’s technical support was fantastic. They really helped me out, and ultimately, the payment came through without a hitch. APEX delivers on its promises, which is refreshing to see. Thank you, APEX!

  • Roslyn Little
    1 year ago

    I want to give a big shout-out to Apex Trader Funding, especially their support team member, Mike F. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t receive much in the way of customer support from them. However, after going through their FAQ sections without finding a solution to my issue, I decided to reach out directly. To my surprise, they responded almost immediately! What impressed me the most was that my main problem was resolved in just a few hours.

  • Loy Nicolas
    1 year ago

    A solid proprietary trading firm overall.

  • Shayne Funk
    1 year ago

    I adhered to the guidelines and received my payment without any issues. It’s really that straightforward. I would have given it a full five stars, though, if the payout process had been a touch faster.

  • Teresa Rau
    1 year ago

    Apex Trader has truly impressed me! The user-friendly platform makes trading a breeze, and I can’t say enough about their outstanding customer service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get into trading!

  • Bertrand Blick
    1 year ago

    Rudy got back to me on my service ticket the very same day. We went back and forth a few times, but ultimately, the problem was sorted out. I really appreciated how quickly he responded.

  • Kraig Jaskolski
    1 year ago

    Payouts can be quite slow; I found myself waiting a full 21 days after requesting mine.

  • Josue Wyman
    1 year ago

    The payment process can feel quite lengthy at times. It’s frustrating to wait and not have clarity on when funds will be available. It would really benefit users if this aspect were streamlined for a more prompt experience. Overall, the delays can be a significant drawback.

  • Theresia Rippin
    1 year ago

    Apex is a genuine firm, no doubt about it. I actually received my payout, which is a big thumbs up from me! 👍🏽

  • Britney Von
    1 year ago

    ATF has truly impressed me. I’ve been with them for around 16 months, focusing on developing my trading skills and learning a strategy that I initially struggled to embrace for real profits. Now, with a clear mindset and a trading strategy that aligns perfectly with their terms of service, I’ve successfully received payouts. Transitioning from an evaluation to a funded account was completely smooth. Typically, it takes about two weeks for payout approval to move from pending to approved after the request, which falls within the withdrawal window, and my deposit took just three business days to reflect in my bank account.

    I can confidently say that ATF is legitimate; it’s not a scam, despite what some might claim on Reddit or YouTube. I’ve got numerous screenshots to back up my experience proving that ATF is undeniably authentic. A big thank you to the ATF team!

  • Adrianna Heaney
    1 year ago

    Initially, I found this company to be quite reliable. I reached out with some key questions and was pleased to receive satisfactory responses. When I requested a service involving a refund, their customer service was outstanding, and I got a full refund without any hassle. It was when the payment time came—what I consider the real test—that I truly saw their reliability, as I was paid in line with the company’s established rules.

  • Micheal Wilderman
    1 year ago

    I must say, I’ve had a fantastic experience with the support team so far. They’ve been incredibly responsive and have helped me resolve a couple of issues along the way. After giving it some time, I recently received my first payment, and I can confidently say that the system works quite well!

  • Beulah Gleason
    1 year ago

    I’m quite pleased with Apex. I finally received my payout, and while it took some time, I can honestly say it was worth the wait.

    To those claiming that they don’t honor payouts, I’d suggest sticking to their guidelines. Not only will you get your payments, but you’ll likely see improvement in your trading skills as well.

  • Sam Grimes
    1 year ago

    Payouts are quick and straightforward, with no gimmicks or complicated rules to navigate.

  • Vallie Schmeler
    1 year ago

    Thanks to ATF, I’ve really learned the ropes of trading. It felt a lot like going through military training—challenging, yet incredibly beneficial.

    Today, I finally received my first payout! I can’t thank them enough.

    Highly Recommended Proprietary Trading Firm. I currently hold a PA account with Apex, and I’m pleased to share that my payout has been approved and is en route to my bank. I am on track to manage 19 accounts in the near future. Apex is a legitimate platform, and their support team responds promptly to inquiries. I have a high level of trust in Apex, even though they enforce many rules; these guidelines actually help me maintain focus, discipline, and avoid succumbing to greed.
