Customer Reviews (8567)

  • Ryley Fay
    2 years ago

    Apex was the second proprietary trading firm I came across in my search, and honestly, it turned out to be the last one I needed. The trading conditions here are both firm and fair, which is hard to come by. I genuinely don’t see myself looking for another firm in the future.

  • Kianna Stoltenberg
    2 years ago

    Upon subscribing to my account, I encountered an error. I reached out for assistance by submitting a ticket and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Jeremy responded. The issue was resolved efficiently, which I really appreciated.

  • Kameron Gerlach
    2 years ago

    I’ve been attempting to set up my account, but every time I try to process the subscription payment, it just keeps saying payment failed. It’s quite frustrating.

  • Zelda Walsh
    2 years ago

    This trading firm truly stands out among its peers thanks to its straightforward approach and well-defined rules. Customers often appreciate the clarity that accompanies its operations. Moreover, the level of support provided is commendable, making it a top choice for many traders.

  • Bartholome McClure
    2 years ago

    The customer service here is truly exceptional. I mean, just amazing. Even when I reached out multiple times—something they say not to do—they still took the time to respond. That level of dedication is hard to find! I really appreciate their service; my own customer service team doesn’t compare. This experience has shown me the kind of team I want to be a part of. Apex definitely earns my recommendation.

    As for the software, “Ninjatrader,” I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, so I can’t give a solid opinion. However, I think integrating MT4/5 would bring even more convenience and flexibility. Honestly, if they wanted to boost functionality, switching to MT4/5 might be the way to go.

    Just today, I wouldn’t have jumped into the Evaluation for trading if I hadn’t needed to download Ninjatrader at college, but access was blocked. That means I have to wait until I’m free from classes to trade, which is a bit disappointing. Sure, I could use my laptop, but I really prefer my three-screen setup.

    To wrap it up, the 90% discount was what initially drew me in, but I wish I’d realized earlier that Ninjatrader would be such a hassle for my usual trading routine. Here’s hoping they consider upgrading to MT4/5 in the future, inshallah. Overall, the excellent service is my main reason for giving this place five stars.

  • Merle Hoppe
    2 years ago

    The customer service experience is quite commendable. I’ve found the support team to be responsive and helpful. They really take the time to address any concerns or questions that arise. It’s refreshing to encounter a firm that prioritizes communication and ensures that traders feel supported throughout their trading journey. Overall, I would definitely rate their customer service positively.

  • Lelah Harris
    2 years ago

    Achim, one of the support specialists, promptly reactivated my account after I mistakenly canceled my evaluation account, which I had successfully passed to qualify for a new funded account. This experience really impressed me.

    Apex support is exceptional, and the entire company stands out as an excellent choice for anyone looking to become a funded trader. Undoubtedly, they are among the best in the industry. They genuinely care about your success in the trading environment.

  • Dianna Altenwerth
    2 years ago

    APEX boasts exceptional customer service. I’ve consistently found them to be prompt in their responses, which has been incredibly helpful every time I’ve faced technical issues. Their support team is always ready and willing to assist, ensuring that any problem is addressed swiftly.

  • Daphney Stiedemann
    2 years ago

    Today marks my second birthday of the year! I’ve just received my first PA account after experiencing three Evaluation failures. I admit I overtraded during the first attempt — now, I make it a point to document every detail while I’m trading, from entry and exit times to prices, and most importantly, the number of contracts 🙂 The next two evaluations, unfortunately, slipped away during news events, so it’s crucial to exercise caution!

    That said, my experience with APEX has been overwhelmingly positive thus far. I’ve encountered some technical difficulties regarding my PA fee link, but they resolved the issue promptly. The team is diligent, reliable, and trustworthy, and I can’t express my gratitude enough for this opportunity. For some reason, I have a strong feeling that APEX is on track to become the leading funding company in the world, significantly impacting many lives for the better. Huge thanks to everyone involved!

  • Jocelyn Stokes
    2 years ago

    Everything is explained very well and clearly. The rules are simple, and it offers easy access to funds for novice traders who may not have capital but possess the right knowledge.

  • Johanna Halvorson
    2 years ago

    Apex stands out as a trustworthy and responsible funding company in the trading industry. They require you to assess both your consistency and skills, but the setup process is straightforward, and their rules are transparent. It genuinely feels like they want to partner with you on your trading journey. I’ve had my share of challenges, including several evaluation accounts that I’ve unfortunately blown up. However, their structured approach has helped me become much more consistent. I recently passed my second account and am currently working towards my third. If you’re looking for a reliable funding company, I wholeheartedly recommend Apex.

  • Rosalia Hahn
    2 years ago

    I had quite a smooth experience with the firm! The sales team is impressive, and the opportunities they provide are hard to rival.

  • Elbert Jacobson
    2 years ago

    This firm is truly exceptional! Their responsiveness is unparalleled; they’re always available to help. It’s hard to imagine a better experience than this!

  • Malachi Lemke
    2 years ago

    I recently achieved my sixth funded account and I’m optimistic about earning three more in the upcoming week. Excitingly, my first funded account is just $250 shy of qualifying for my first withdrawal.

    The Apex system truly emphasizes the importance of patience and discipline. Reflecting on my previous attempts at trading futures before I started using Apex, I found that I was successful 90% of the time. However, I struggled with the patience necessary for long-term gains. What I appreciate about Apex is how it helps you manage those tough “10%” days without draining your motivation.

    This system has really helped me overcome my “Dark Passenger.”

  • Annie Torphy

    Apex stands out as an excellent choice for traders. They offer a wide range of contracts, and qualifying only takes a few days, which is a significant advantage. One of the unique features is that they release all funded accounts simultaneously. You can also decide between a one-time fee or a recurring payment structure. Trading is flexible since you can do it at any time. Plus, the help desk provides speedy responses, ensuring you get the support you need quickly.

  • Josiah Mitchell
    2 years ago

    I began my journey with APEX around two years back, and I must say, I’m quite pleased with their system. Their training approach really resonates with me. In hindsight, I regret not trying Snipper sooner; I should have jumped on that from the beginning. Overall, I genuinely believe that APEX is the best fit for my trading needs!

  • Dortha Sipes
    2 years ago

    The speed of response and the time it takes to resolve issues is noteworthy. In my experience, the firm has consistently demonstrated efficiency in addressing queries. When I encountered a problem, they managed to get back to me fairly quickly, which I appreciated. Overall, the promptness of their support team stands out and adds to the positive experience of trading with them. Such responsiveness can make a significant difference in the fast-paced world of trading.

  • Berta Hills
    2 years ago

    I’m pretty confident that Apex stands out as one of the top “funded” trading platforms available today, especially when it comes to the qualifying process and features like their trade copier.

    What I find really impressive is the option to manage multiple accounts—this is just fantastic!

  • Noah Schmidt
    2 years ago

    Following a frustrating period of ten days during which I could not access my account due to technical difficulties, I was relieved to find that both Apex and Tradovate were able to resolve the issue. They even extended my renewal to make up for the downtime, which I thought was a nice touch. It’s worth noting, though, that I didn’t hear back from Apex for three business days during the long weekend—it was a bit disheartening. However, in the end, they delivered a positive outcome.

  • Demetrius Wiegand
    2 years ago

    APEX stands out as an exceptional trading firm. Today, I successfully passed the evaluation for my account, and I’m now managing two funded accounts! While I still have a long journey ahead to reach my goals, APEX has truly made the process much more straightforward. Having experience with other proprietary firms, I can confidently say that APEX is simply the best in the business!

  • Darius Adams
    2 years ago

    Apex stands out as one of the leading trader funding firms in the market right now, thanks to its appealing promotions and adaptable policies. My experience was seamless and straightforward when securing funding through them. I wholeheartedly recommend Apex. Thank you for supporting emerging traders and enabling their success in the trading landscape.

  • Cornelius Herzog
    2 years ago

    Apex stands out as an excellent choice for traders. The pricing for evaluation accounts is significantly more competitive compared to other firms.

  • Andre Halvorson
    2 years ago

    For quite some time, I was convinced that Topstep was the top dog among proprietary trading firms. However, with Apex introducing a host of new features this year and offering a drawdown rate that is ten times more affordable (believe me, I’m not exaggerating), they have truly emerged as the leaders in the market right now. I was already a funded trader with Topstep, and while I did encounter some technical difficulties, the overall experience was consistently smooth and efficient.

    One common criticism I’ve seen is the trailing drawdown. However, I believe this points to an issue with money management for those who struggle as day traders. It’s worth noting that the trailing drawdown is disabled once your account balance surpasses the specified profit target during the evaluation process.

  • Walton Runte
    2 years ago

    The platform is really impressive and very easy to use. It’s designed with the user in mind, making trading accessible for both beginners and experienced traders. I found the interface intuitive, which made navigating the various features a breeze. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking to get started in the trading world.

  • Haylie Koch
    2 years ago

    Having evaluated numerous trading firms, I ultimately chose to partner with Apex. The setup process was straightforward, and transitioning from evaluation to a live account was incredibly quick and hassle-free. I found their FAQs to be exceptionally clear, addressing every question I had effectively.

  • Clarissa Swift
    2 years ago

    My experiences might help you save some cash. I faced a couple of unfortunate incidents where I lost money after purchasing an evaluation account, followed by a Performance Account tied to that same evaluation. In both cases, the responsibility ultimately fell on me. The first mishap occurred on a day when I impulsively bought the second account. After hitting the submit button, I suddenly realized I had forgotten to enter the SAVE80 coupon code, resulting in a full price payment that stung, especially since my funds were running low.

    Then there was the second incident with the same evaluation account. After successfully passing the seven-day evaluation, I received a time-sensitive email congratulating me. Just a day later, another urgent email warned me I had to finalize my Performance Account payment within 12 hours. The pressure began to mount, and I started considering how it would be okay if I blew the evaluation account after qualifying.

    With time slipping away, I knew I couldn’t afford to wait for a response from support. So, I went ahead and paid $162.38 to secure the new account. However, after a 48-hour wait, the new Performance Account still wasn’t appearing in my Tradovate account listing. I nearly reached out to the Apex® Support Team, but then I remembered they prefer you check the FAQ section first. So, I searched for “How to access the PA account.” I was then directed to a page titled “Once active, how a PA account works?” which contained a video called “Converting to a PA.”

    After watching that clip, it became clear that I lost $162.38 on the PA Account after falling below the qualification threshold of the evaluation and subsequently canceling that account. In total, I ended up losing $180.78. What a tough lesson, especially when finances are already tight. Why share this? To potentially help someone else in my situation. As an adult, I see these two incidents as valuable learning experiences. I aim for clarity when common sense isn’t always apparent.

    In the end, I genuinely feel that what I’ve learned from Apex® Trader Funding and the opportunity they provide holds significant value. I’ve come to understand that making large trades in one account isn’t the best approach. Instead, you can spread your trading ambitions across multiple accounts. For instance, if you want to make $1,000, you can achieve that by aiming for $100 in profit across ten accounts. Though I’m new to trading, it’s clear that starting small is a safer method for honing your skills—a hard lesson learned through two years of dedicated practice.

    So, would I recommend Apex® Trader Funding? Absolutely. I see no reason not to. Enjoy—the best!

  • Dimitri Streich

    Apex is an outstanding company with exceptional customer service—truly A+++ across the board! For traders, there’s no better option out there. They are simply the best in the market, hands down, with a satisfaction rate of 103%! If you’re skeptical, feel free to explore other firms, but I assure you, you’ll end up coming back to Apex. And when that happens, please come back and share your honest feedback here to let everyone know if I’m right or wrong. Wishing you all the best of luck!

  • Erna Gleichner

    This company has truly proven to be the best option for me. I’m really impressed with the support and resources they offer. It’s not just about trading; it’s about building a solid foundation as a trader. Their team is dedicated and always ready to assist. I appreciate the transparency in their operations as well. Overall, I couldn’t ask for a better experience in my trading journey.

  • Parker Padberg
    2 years ago

    From the outset, Apex has proven to be an excellent funding firm to collaborate with. What sets them apart is their perspective on the markets, which is very much through the “trader’s eyes.” After taking a close look at their tools and policies, it’s clear that they are dedicated to helping us become better traders. Overall, their approach is refreshing and truly supportive of our growth.

  • Jamir Schmidt
    2 years ago

    The team here is genuinely professional and incredibly supportive. Their expertise really shines through in every interaction. It’s refreshing to work with such a dedicated group of people who truly care about your success.

  • Anne Lockman

    The instructions given were clear and easy to follow, and Apex delivered on their promises without any issues.

  • Jamarcus Hills
    2 years ago

    The platform is fantastic, and I found everything to be quite straightforward. Setting up the account and Ninja Trader was a breeze, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions provided. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to get started!

  • Lavern Wilkinson
    2 years ago

    I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant about jumping into a proprietary account, but I figured, why not take a chance with someone else’s capital? This morning, I just received approval for a $100,000 proprietary account after a week of evaluation. The process was straightforward, though I wouldn’t exactly call it easy. I found myself adjusting my trading style because of the trailing drawdown, but I managed to adapt successfully. Using Tradovate while simultaneously logged into TradingView allows me to utilize my custom indicators, which enhances my trading experience. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with what I’ve encountered so far. My next step is to receive payment, and I’ll be sure to provide an update on that process once it happens, including how seamless it is.

  • Christopher Ruecker
    2 years ago

    I had a great experience with this firm. The process for getting a funded account was remarkably straightforward, with no cumbersome bureaucracy to slow things down.

  • Eusebio Sipes
    2 years ago

    Apex stands out with an exceptional system and a dedicated team. The wealth of information they provide is impressive, and the transparency is truly refreshing. I’m excited to keep moving forward on this journey with them. Funded and all set to go!

  • Quincy Purdy

    I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity I had to trade with Apex Fund for the very first time. I truly appreciate it! The experience with Apex has been nothing short of fantastic, and I’ve loved every moment of it. Thank you all!

  • Consuelo Stehr
    2 years ago

    This company really stands out for its transparency, and I’ve got a few friends who are also involved with them. They genuinely offer value and can be trusted when it comes to payouts.

    From my experience, I can confidently say this is one of the best proprietary trading firms available today.

  • Abdullah Simonis
    2 years ago

    Another five stars for Apex! I initially blew my first live account of $25,000, but I’m back and now aiming for a second account of $50,000. Thanks to funding companies like Apex, I’ve really improved my trading skills. My success is definitely on the rise, and I am committed to continuing my growth. I can’t express enough gratitude for the opportunities they provide to traders like me. Thank you, Apex! I’m planning to request a cash withdrawal soon and will happily share another update once the funds hit my bank account. Keep it up, Apex! It’s truly possible to succeed.

  • Lyric Hermiston
    2 years ago

    This program is fantastic for traders seeking funding. If you’re looking to get your trading career off the ground, this might just be the right fit for you. The support is impressive, and the resources provided can really help elevate your strategies. Overall, it’s a solid option for those serious about trading with real capital. You won’t want to miss out on what they have to offer here.

  • Julio Schumm
    2 years ago

    Apex is truly raising the standard when it comes to customer service. I’ve encountered some connection issues with one of my machines, and in a moment of desperation, I decided to reach out to Jeff. He had assisted me in the past, so I felt confident contacting him again. This was just half an hour after the market had closed. To my surprise, he responded in under a minute! We quickly set up a screen share, and within just five minutes, the problem was resolved. A big thank you to Jeff, Darrell, and the entire team for their outstanding support!

  • Ubaldo Thompson
    2 years ago

    I had been away from my account for nearly two years, and when I returned, I found it disabled. I was totally shocked! But then, one email changed everything for me. I can genuinely recommend this broker. If you stick to their guidelines and follow the instructions, things will go smoothly. I’m really happy to be a part of this organization!

  • Kylie Simonis
    2 years ago

    Overall, my experience has been fantastic. The cost for the evaluation account feels quite reasonable, and it really encourages you to learn and develop your skills independently—a key factor in achieving success. The evaluation framework is designed to be simple and easy to understand. I’m eager to find out what the performance account will be like in the future, but at this point, I can only share positive impressions!

  • Bobbie Veum
    2 years ago

    Tradovate really struggles when it comes to closing orders that are open. It seems neither Tradovate nor Apex are willing to take responsibility, which ends up costing customers both time and money. It’s quite frustrating, and honestly, I’ve seen no effort on their part to address this issue.

  • Santa Kovacek
    2 years ago

    This company truly stands out with its remarkable evaluation prices. I genuinely hope that the experience continues to be as positive, especially when I make my first withdrawal. For now, there’s really not much else to add—everything has been magnificent.

  • Esmeralda Mayert
    2 years ago

    I truly value the chance to earn a living trading with this firm. It’s not just another job; it’s a real opportunity to engage in something I’m passionate about. Thank you for providing this platform.

  • Sally Robel
    2 years ago

    Apex really simplifies the approval and trial process, making it much more accessible for traders. It’s refreshing to see a firm that doesn’t put up unnecessary barriers. The steps are straightforward, which is a huge plus for anyone looking to get started without the hassle. Overall, I found this approach to be quite user-friendly and effective.

  • Archibald Turcotte
    2 years ago

    Apex stands out in the trading sector. Their competitive pricing on evaluation accounts is impressive, and the payout structure is quite reasonable. It’s important to note, however, that they don’t execute trades on your behalf—you’re in control of that aspect. While some traders may voice complaints occasionally, I feel this often stems from their own trading experiences rather than shortcomings on Apex’s part. It seems that some individuals prefer to point fingers instead of owning their results. Overall, Apex provides a solid foundation for traders looking to take charge of their trading journey.

  • Giuseppe Hudson
    2 years ago

    In today’s market, this proprietary trading firm stands out as one of the top choices for futures trading. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to dive into this space.

  • Leola Johnston
    2 years ago

    I have been with TopStep for quite a while now. While the base price is comparable to other firms, the discounts don’t even come close to what Apex Trader Funding offers. Trading at TopStep, especially as a funded trader, can feel like navigating a minefield in the dark. For instance, as a Canadian, I’ve found myself unexpectedly kicked out for missing a notice about not being allowed to trade during certain holidays, all while the market remained open. Their office support seems to be lacking at times, which adds to the frustration.

    Moreover, I was removed from the scaling plan because I accidentally had three contracts active for just a couple of minutes instead of the two allowed. It feels like a major offense for such a minor mistake. On the other hand, at Apex, the regular 80% discount on the monthly fee—maintained until the user decides to cancel or until they are funded—is genuinely invaluable! Even when dealing with drawdowns, that structure is hard to beat.

    While there might be some basic rules to follow and the payout process may not be as flexible, Apex truly stands out as a no-brainer choice!

  • Timmy Miller

    This company has consistently shown professionalism. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to provide helpful advice and practical solutions. I would certainly recommend their services to any aspiring traders looking for guidance and support.
