Marketing vs. rule book

Page says: Homepage advertises 'NO MAE Rule' and 'NO 5/1 Risk Reward Rule' as general benefits of the new Apex model.

Rules say: According to the fine print, this statement applies only to newly purchased products from 2026-03-01. For legacy accounts (still active, still purchasable via Legacy-Products), the 30% negative P&L/MAE rule and the 5:1 risk-reward rule remain mandatory rules, with payout denial/account closure for violations.

“The 30% Negative Profit and Loss (P&L) Rule limits the loss a trader can incur on any single trade... Apex enforces a maximum risk-to-reward ratio of 5:1.”

Page says: Startseite wirbt mit '100% Requested Rewards – No split in Sim Funded' als Alleinstellungsmerkmal.

Rules say: The 100% split is accurate, but each payout is capped by fixed dollar caps (e.g. 100K: only $2,000–$4,000 depending on the payout number, max. 6 payouts per PA) – regardless of the actual account balance/profit.

“PAs are limited to the max payouts specified below, regardless of the total profit generated in the account. After 6 payouts, the PA is closed.”
