Firm Trust Score
A 0–100 score built from a firm's real Trustpilot reputation, how long it's actually been operating as a futures prop firm specifically, and a checklist of the rule types that most often catch traders off guard — account stacking, flipping, windfall clauses, news-trading blackouts, and more. Picked by firm, since some of these are firm-wide policies, not tied to one specific account.
Whole firms only, not individual accounts — some rules can still vary by which account you pick, noted below.
Real caution flags turned up in our research — read the checklist below carefully before buying.
Based on a real Trustpilot rating of 4.2/5.
Found: account stacking, copy trading & ea (bot) rules, vpn / multi-identity policy, inactivity rule, mandatory stop-loss / risk rules.
Founded in 2021 — about 5 years in operation.
Rule flags
Only rule categories we've actually confirmed apply to this firm show up here — an empty list means nothing's been confirmed yet, not that the firm has a clean bill of health.
- Account stackingAppliesHigh severity
Explicitly named and banned: "Stockpiling Evaluation Accounts" — purchasing multiple discounted evaluation accounts to cycle through and intentionally blow up in pursuit of windfall profits. A real, explicit anti-stacking clause, not just an account-count cap.
What's this? - Copy trading & EA (bot) rulesAppliesModerate severity
No automation or algorithm usage allowed at all — the program is explicitly meant to reward human traders actively participating, not automated systems executing preprogrammed logic.
What's this? - VPN / multi-identity policyAppliesModerate severity
A detailed, explicit policy: no sharing account access/credentials with anyone; no VPNs, proxies, or anonymizing tools to disguise identity/device/location; payment methods and reward payouts must be in the trader's own name; no sharing MAC addresses, computers, IPs, credit cards, or trade copying with other traders; and creating multiple user accounts (including to route around an existing account's restrictions) is a bannable offense.
What's this? - Inactivity ruleAppliesCommon, low severity
Apex's own EOD/Intraday Performance Account parameter tables mark "Inactivity rule: Yes" for every size, linking to a dedicated policy page that wasn't retrieved this round -- the rule's existence is confirmed directly from Apex's own site, but its exact terms (e.g. a specific day count) are not. Third-party sources describe a 30-day closure window; that figure is NOT trusted here since it wasn't confirmed against Apex's own dedicated page.
What's this? - Mandatory stop-loss / risk rulesAppliesHighest severity — discretionary
Requires a real stop loss (mental or pending) and defined risk management on every trade. Prohibits disproportionate risk/reward setups (their own example: a 5-tick profit target against a 150-tick stop). Separately prohibits using the account's own drawdown threshold as a de facto stop loss — i.e. letting a losing trade run until the account's built-in risk limit absorbs it. Also requires strategies consistent with what you'd use on a real, personally funded broker account.
What's this?
This score is assembled from our own research and is only as good as what we've confirmed so far — it updates automatically as more of a firm's rules get verified. Always check the firm's own terms before buying.
