Apex Astral has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services|Fraud ...". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I requested my data from Apex Astral under GDPR. They sent a partial export that was missing months of transactions. When I asked for the rest they said it was a technical issue. Still waiting. They do not take data rights seriously.
Pros: Clean UI|Real-time alerts
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
I am in a dispute with Apex Astral over a trade that was clearly erroneous. The price shown was wrong, I closed at a profit, and they reversed the trade and took the money back. They said it was a system error. So I lose and they keep? Unacceptable.
Pros: Competitive fees|Great customer service|Economic calendar|Market news feed
Cons: Email notifications too frequent
After since I retired last year with Apex Astral, I can only describe the experience as death by a thousand cuts. No single issue was catastrophic, but the constant stream of small problems, slow responses, and missing features wore me down until I finally left.
Pros: Dividend tracking|Low minimum deposit|Economic calendar
Cons: No crypto staking|Desktop app not available on Linux
Apex Astral changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Reliable uptime|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Alert system is basic
The onboarding at Apex Astral was smooth which makes the subsequent experience even more frustrating. Once they have your money, the quality of service drops dramatically. Getting anyone to help you with an actual problem is nearly impossible.
Pros: API access|Educational resources|Customizable dashboard|Copy trading available
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods|Search feature is basic
I joined Apex Astral through a forum discussion and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.
Pros: Excellent charting|Easy withdrawals
Cons: Search feature is basic
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Apex Astral is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Cons: Lost entire investment|Reported to authorities|Unresponsive
I had high hopes for Apex Astral while looking for alternatives to my previous provider, but my experience has been disappointing. Customer support is slow, the platform has frequent issues, and their fee structure is not as transparent as advertised. I am actively looking for alternatives now.
Pros: Helpful community forum|Clean UI|Reliable uptime|Stable platform
Cons: Minimum deposit could be lower
