Apex is one of the top prop firms. Everyone knows it. They almost always have an 80% off running every month with the code “SAVENOW” or any other Creator Code. They have the highest payout to a retail trader of 2 million plus in a single payout. It's was given to JadecapFx. You can watch the podcast with WOR and TOT to confirm that. Before this the largest payout record was with Trader Kane, it was around 2 million in a single payout. For Indian traders it is one of the best alternatives for futures prop firms because the payouts are processed throu...

Can Trade 20 accounts with inbuilt Tradovate "Group Trade" feature. Great platform for receiving payouts i.e. Plane which provides International SWIFT transfers. It provides legitimacy and transparency for the source of income and also helps with tax compliance. Almost always have an 80% off offer.
Intraday trailing drawdown, which doesn't lock in at the initial balance after making profit that is equivalent to your initial max drawdown like all the other futures firms.

Trading execution on PA accounts is good, although apex trading rules are a little more difficult. Overall, my experience with Apex was positive. 20 accounts on Apex PA accounts is fantastic.

This was one of the cheapest firm when I bought, there were a lot of bad negative things about this firm which were floating on social media but still I took the account. But surprisingly I found the trading conditions and credentials time very fast. I didn't reach payout but still the experience was nice

I got a 2k payout last year with Apex, everything was smooth and had no issues, I like that you can pass on one day, would recommend Apex if you’re willing to stick to their rules

The Unfair Reality of Trading with APEX Trader Funding APEX Trader Funding is one of the most popular futures prop firms, known for its frequent discounts and aggressive marketing. However, behind the appealing entry prices and fast evaluations lie serious structural issues that make the trading experience unfair, especially for serious traders. Here are the major pitfalls and why APEX may not be the right choice for aspiring professional traders: 1. The Trailing Drawdown Trap APEX uses a Trailing Drawdown system during both the evaluation and th...

Honestly, the thing I liked most about APEX Trader Funding is the low barrier to entry. Thanks to their frequent 80–90% discount codes, almost anyone can afford to try an evaluation. That’s appealing, especially for new or curious traders who want to dip their toes into futures without risking too much upfront capital. Another positive is that they offer unlimited retries as long as you keep paying the monthly fee, which gives traders more flexibility compared to firms that limit attempts or charge restart fees. However, these surface-level advantages are quickly overshadowed by the unfair structure behind the scenes — especially the trailing drawdown system and strict payout rules. For serious traders with well-developed strategies, the environment ends up being restrictive, stressful, and not conducive to real long-term success.
What I liked the least about APEX Trader Funding is without question the Trailing Drawdown system — especially how it includes open unrealized profits (PnL) and keeps following your balance until you hit your peak. This single rule completely distorts how you can trade, forcing you into scalping just to survive. It punishes any trader who wants to hold positions longer than a few minutes. You're constantly walking a tightrope where even a small pullback in an otherwise winning trade can blow the account — not because you were wrong, but because the drawdown system is so aggressive. Even worse, this drawdown continues into the Funded (Performance) Account, meaning you're still under heavy pressure even after "passing". It creates a false sense of progress — you might "get funded" quickly, but you're not really allowed to trade like a real trader. That's what felt the most unfair and disheartening.

I have been into futures trading for 2+ years. I came to know about Apex Trader propfirm on twitter back then. First i thought it was a scam/fraud looking their very low prices and huge offers. But gave it a try, after couple of failures i got funded live account. The best thing i like about ATF is low cost, minimal activation fee, trading directly on tradingview ( for tradovate accounts). And no payouts delayed or skipped with any rules. Only drawback is their new payout policy of 2000$ payout limit each time.

Terrible experience I had 3 PA funded accounts up around 3k in each I had an issue with the platform where no trades were being facilitated I was unable to flatten all positions or hit market to exit, effectively there was nothing I could do until I was liquidated. I reported this issue to apex and the reply was there is nothing we can do about platform issues, they effectively blamed Tradovate. I have since questioned as my understanding is they fund their own server via Tradovate and therefore the issue could lie on their server side as another is...

After making a good profit during 8 business days respecting all rules, in particular the 30% consistency and 30% drawdown, I made a payout request and it was denied.
