Cons: Listed in IOSCO I-SCAN|May not be authorized in your jurisdiction
Their two-factor authentication was optional when I joined. I enabled it. Later I lost my phone and could not log in. Apex Investment Trade recovery process took 3 weeks and required notarized documents. By then I had missed important trades. Their security is your inconvenience.
Pros: Responsive team|Educational resources|Stable platform|Good mobile app
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed|Website design could be more modern
The platform at Apex Investment Trade is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for roughly four months of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Good analytical tools|Good mobile app|Dedicated account manager
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
After for about eight months with Apex Investment Trade I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Detailed reporting|Comprehensive tools|Market news feed|Social trading features
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Nothing significant
Apex Investment Trade advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Fast deposits|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Limited demo account features
I had a dispute with Apex Investment Trade and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Fast execution|Copy trading available|Helpful community forum|Social trading features
Cons: Search feature is basic
The hidden fees at Apex Investment Trade are the real scandal here. What they advertise and what they actually charge are two different things. By the time I realized how much I was paying in various fees and spreads, I had already lost a meaningful amount.
Pros: Regular platform improvements|Two-factor authentication
Cons: Wish they had more educational resources|Currency conversion fee exists
The spread at Apex Investment Trade is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them after a family member had a good experience and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Automated trading options|Regular platform improvements|API access|Fast support response
Cons: Live chat only during business hours|Nothing significant
The platform itself is okay, but the customer service at Apex Investment Trade is truly awful. I waited weeks for a response to a simple inquiry. When they did respond, it felt like a generic template that did not address my specific issue at all.
Pros: Social trading features|Regular updates|Real-time alerts|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|Inactivity fee applies after 12 months
Apex Investment Trade 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: API access|Regular platform improvements|Easy to use platform
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Cannot customize dashboard fully
