Apex Trader Funding: key facts
Automation prohibited on funded PA and Live accounts (AI, bots, algorithms, fully automated systems, HFT); semi-automation of a manually opened position (brackets, trailing stops) allowed.
Copying allowed only if user manually places each order in one originating account and replicates to own accounts; PA must be traded only by the account holder.
PickMyTrade connection: Tradovate or Rithmic. Apex prohibits bot and fully automated order placement on funded PA and Live accounts, so PickMyTrade webhook orders should not be used there; evaluation-account rules were not confirmed.

This page aggregates publicly available information about Apex Trader Funding and is not financial, legal, or tax advice. Prop firm rules, plans, fees, and payout policies change frequently — always verify the current terms on Apex Trader Funding's official website before purchasing an evaluation or activating a funded account. PickMyTrade is an automation bridge, not a prop firm. Funded accounts at prop firms are typically simulated (not real-money) unless otherwise stated by the firm. Trading carries risk of loss.
