Apex Trader Funding

TRADERS BEWARE — My Experience with APEX Trader Funding I never thought I’d have to write this, but after what happened to me — and the silence I’ve gotten from Apex — I feel it’s important to warn other traders about how they really operate when you become profitable. What exactly happened: On June 13th, I was managing two funded (PA) accounts: I had an open short position of 10 contracts on one account and 2 short contracts on another. I decided to close the 10 short contracts with a market order. Instead, somehow the system executed a 45-contract BUY. This mistake closed the 10 shorts, but also opened a 35-contract LONG position — all while I was still short 2 contracts on the other account. I realized the error immediately and closed the 35-contract long within 46 seconds. This was clearly a technical error (likely from a copier) — not a hedge, not abuse of the system, and not a way to profit unfairly. How can anyone seriously think I was trying to hedge 2 contracts with 35? Still, Apex closed ALL my accounts, including: 2 funded accounts with payout requests 11 other funded accounts I wasn’t even trading on And after explaining everything and waiting for over a week: no response. This isn’t the first time either. I’ve had payouts denied even when I followed all the rules. Other times when I accidentally broke a rule — I still got paid. I’ve blown many test and paid accounts with Apex before. No problem. But once I started requesting regular payouts, suddenly everything changed. There’s no consistency. No transparency. Just selective enforcement of unclear rules — especially once a trader becomes profitable. So here’s my honest warning to fellow traders: Apex seems happy to let you buy evaluations and blow accounts — they won’t say a word. But when you finally succeed and start asking for real payouts, be careful. One small mistake (even a technical one like mine that lasted less than a minute) can be used to shut you down — with no clear explanation, no fair review, and no accountability from their side. I’ll be attaching screenshots of my accounts and trades so you can see the truth for yourself. Let’s see how long this post stays up — I’ve seen others share similar stories, only to have their posts quickly removed. **"I posted this rant in 2 Facebook groups and one Discord group for Trading, and here’s what happened: I was instantly blocked from one of the FB groups. When I wrote about what had happened, I was immediately kicked from the Discord group too… I just couldn’t believe how fast and organized these guys work to keep only positive comments about the company—comments I now honestly doubt are even all real (all those pictures of people withdrawing money from the company? I don’t think they’re true after what happened to me). Only one FB trading group summarized my post, but it quickly gathered more negative clients with similar stories, and very soon, the post and comments were deleted… I just can’t believe how APEX and their affiliates filter information like this."

Still no response from Apex after they banned my account and refused to pay out, all without a proper explanation. I've reached out multiple times and been completely ignored. It honestly feels like a scam at this point. I’ve started working with a lawyer to take this further. If you’re in Australia and have gone through something similar with Apex, feel free to reach out. We shouldn’t let this slide, they need to be held accountable.

Apex is very bad come to payout. Alway find an excuse to deny payout, and when Apex cannot find any excuse to deny, Apex will delay payout.

I joined Apex Trader Funding because of their low initial start up fees. After passing evaluation accounts, there is a one time activation fee. I used their Wealthcharts option as opposed to Rithmic or Tradovate. Wealthcharts is amazing and has a educational library as well as a wealth of amazing indicators (some proprietary). I used the library to learn how to use their proprietary indicators and I followed the Apex rules - slow and steady. I had hard SL and TPs and I never overleveraged. I traded 3 micro-NQs at a time with one average down of 3 micro-NQs if I needed to based on the charts. After my first two payouts on 7 accounts, they flagged my account and stopped me from further purchasing evaluations accounts. They asked me to submit daily screenshots and explanation of my trades - I did all of that. My account was under review. However, they never lifted the hold on my account. I blew my accounts as a test, and to date they have not taken action on my account and my response to their review. Essentially, Apex has blocked me from using their services anymore. Oh well, there are other prop firms out there. But beware, they will eventually cut you off because you actually do what you're supposed to.
