Apex is a 1 time fee OR a monthly fee to me it only kind of makes sense to pay the 1 time fee if your doing the 25k or 50k and thats only if you have proven you can last more than a month in a funded account most people blow these accounts within a week.
150k is a 260 fee most people should just opt to pay the 85/month 260 is near 3 months of fees ideally you would have taken at the very least 1 max payout in this time frame that makes your monthly fee null. but if you fail within the first 5 days like most will your out 175(260-85)
Apex doesnt put any orders live initially you really have to be pulling out regular withdrawals for them to move you to a live account the model for these companies is based on stats and human psychology most people will fail the evaluations and if they make it to funded they will fail. I agree copying accounts is more likely to lead to blowing the accounts faster but the idea is to make use of not needing to go for thousand dollar days and to get by the withdrawal limits set for the first 3 months. 1 account with a 2k max payout 10 accounts with a 2k max payout each is 20k
The thing is, most people who do these kind of evaluations have very unrealistic expectations.
With the $50K account you can withdraw $4K per month for the first 3 months and then unlimited after that, why wouldn't that be enough?
