About Apex

A brokerage built by people who traded first

Apex Markets was founded in 2019 by execution traders and platform engineers who were tired of explaining away slippage. We built the broker we wanted to trade through.

Open an account
The firm

A desk of roughly 140 people across London, Dubai and Singapore, serving retail traders, prop desks and introducing brokers in 180 countries. No dealing desk and no internalised flow — we never hold a position against a client.

How we price

Liquidity from 18 tier-1 providers, aggregated and passed through at cost. We earn a flat commission per lot and nothing else: no marked-up spreads, no inactivity fee and no charge to deposit or withdraw.

Your money

Client funds are held in segregated accounts at tier-1 banks, reconciled daily and never used for operating costs. Every retail account carries negative balance protection as standard.
