Trading and Emotions

Trading can be complex and unpredictable, often influenced by emotions rather than rational analysis, similar to gambling. Traders may chase losses, make impulsive trades, or show addictive behaviors, leading to unfavorable outcomes.

At APEX, we recognize the significance of managing emotions in trading. Our goal is to help traders make informed and strategic decisions instead of relying on impulsive actions. To ensure the best trading experience, we have implemented specific guidelines for our traders.

Splitting Trades

While some traders believe splitting a trade into multiple positions reduces risk, we remind our clients that splitting a trade into multiple positions will still count as one single trade on any of our accounts. Additionally, splitting trades can lead to impulsive and emotional decisions. It is important to adhere to your trading plan and avoid deviations based on emotions.

We urge our clients to trade responsibly and make informed decisions. Remember, trading is a long-term game, and staying disciplined and rational is crucial.

To get funded by APEX, you need to successfully complete our proprietary evaluation phases. Our platform is designed to identify skilled traders and support them in overcoming funding challenges. By passing these evaluation phases, you demonstrate your capability and experience to trade with our capital.

We offer both 1-step and 2-step challenges with various funding amounts to accommodate all traders and trading strategies. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Once your evaluation has been approved by our team, you will be required to complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process. This can be done through the dashboard by navigating to Settings > Verify. Additionally, a notification will appear at the top of your dashboard to inform you about the verification process. Typically, the entire verification and approval process takes just a few minutes.

Here are the steps involved in the KYC process:

1.Proof of Identity: You can use any of the following documents:

•Government ID

•Driver’s license

•Permanent residence permit

•Passport

2.A Selfie:

•The selfie must be a clear image and must match the Proof of Identity that you have provided.

Unfortunately, at this time, once a trader purchases a challenge on a specific platform, they cannot switch to a different one.

To advance to Live Simulated Accounts, you must provide:
• Proof of identity (front and back of your ID card or passport)
• A selfie holding your ID or passport
Verification is required only at the Simulated funded stage of your challenge.

If you exceed the $1,000,000 maximum allocation for live funded accounts, your
current accounts will remain unaffected. However, you won’t be able to add more
funds until the total allocation is back within the limit.
