Institutional CFD infrastructure
Apex Markets quotes 11,563 instruments across six asset classes, computes margin and risk on the server, and settles the whole client lifecycle — funding, verification, support and partner commission — in the same system. One set of numbers, visible to the trader and the desk at the same time.
Live board
Breadth and leadership across every asset class we quote, ranked from the same price path the terminal and the dealing desk read. Nothing here is a screenshot.
Terminal
Multi-pane charting with 18 studies, depth of market, a keyboard-first order ticket and blotters that reconcile to the cent. Every panel reads the same book the dealing desk sees, so a client and an agent never argue about a number.
+1.6% bid skew
Aggregated internal book, 57.8 lots resting across 14 levels.
Execution
Quotes are constructed server-side from an aggregated book and streamed at 2 Hz. Fills are stamped against the live two-way price at the moment the ticket lands, with slippage, commission and swap itemised on the deal.

Funding
Card, bank wire, crypto and e-wallet rails with published limits and fees. Deposits credit against the trading account and the wallet ledger in one transaction, and withdrawals route straight into a reviewable treasury queue.
Security & compliance
Client money is held in segregated accounts at tier-1 institutions. Staff access runs through a 41-permission matrix across eight roles, and every mutation — a leverage change, a manual credit, a KYC decision — writes an immutable audit row.
Clients hold none of the staff permissions. Every grant is re-checked inside the server action, not just in the navigation.
Client protection
We cannot make a leveraged product safe — the loss figure at the bottom of this page is the honest version of that. What we can do is make sure the mechanics around your money are boring, documented and enforced by the server.
Client funds are held apart from company money in segregated accounts with tier-1 banking partners, reconciled daily.
Retail accounts cannot lose more than their deposited equity. Stop-out runs server-side at the account stop-out level.
Orders are filled against the two-way price at the instant of receipt. Slippage is symmetric and reported on every deal.
Financial statements and client-money reconciliations are audited annually by an external firm and filed with the regulator.
Sessions are signed JWTs with optional TOTP two-factor, passwords are bcrypt-hashed, and every staff mutation writes an immutable audit row carrying the actor, the before value and the after value.

Selected from client correspondence and published with permission. Past performance and individual experience are not indicative of future results.
“The blotter agrees with the chart, and both agree with my statement. That sounds trivial until you have spent two years reconciling a platform where it was not true.”
“We moved 340 clients over in a weekend. What sold it was the back office: our finance team stopped exporting spreadsheets on day one.”
“Stops behave. Trailing stops behave. Margin is calculated where I would calculate it by hand. For a leveraged product that is the entire proposition.”
Questions
Written for someone deciding whether leveraged trading is appropriate for them, not for a search engine.
A contract for difference: an agreement to exchange the difference in an instrument’s price between opening and closing the contract. You never own the underlying currency, metal, index constituent, barrel or share, and you have no voting or delivery rights. Because the position is leveraged, both profit and loss are calculated on the full notional value, not on the margin you posted.
Initial margin is the instrument’s margin percentage applied to the notional value of the position, capped by the leverage on your account. Equity is balance plus credit plus floating profit and loss. Margin level is equity divided by used margin. You receive a margin call at 100% and open positions are liquidated, largest loss first, at the 50% stop-out level. Both thresholds are shown on your account and enforced by the server, not the browser.
Three components, all disclosed before you confirm a ticket: the spread, a commission per lot per side, and an overnight financing charge (swap) on positions held past the daily rollover. Commission has two parts — the rate the instrument carries, which applies whichever account you hold, and the rate your account’s trading book adds, which is nil on some. The pricing page publishes both. There are no platform fees, inactivity fees on funded accounts, or charges for deposits.
Withdrawal requests are queued for treasury review as soon as they are submitted. Requests placed before 14:00 UTC on a business day are typically approved the same day. Card refunds settle in one to five business days, bank wires in two to five, crypto within 24 hours. We only return funds to a verified instrument in the account holder’s own name.
Yes, before a live account can be funded. You will need a passport or national identity document, a proof of address issued in the last three months, and a selfie holding your document. Most submissions are reviewed within one business day. A demo account requires only an email address.
No. Retail accounts carry negative balance protection: if a gap through your stop takes the account below zero, the deficit is written off rather than pursued. That protection does not stop you from losing the entire balance, which is the ordinary outcome for the majority of retail CFD accounts.
There is, and it runs on the same engine as the live book: identical instruments, identical spreads, identical margin, swap and stop-out mechanics. The only differences are that the money is notional and the fills are not passed to a liquidity provider. Demo accounts fund instantly and never expire.
Instruments follow their published session calendar, which is listed on every symbol page. Outside the session the instrument is quoted as indicative and no orders are accepted; pending orders remain on the book and are evaluated at the next open, where a gap can fill them at a materially different price than their trigger.
Still unsure? Talk to the desk before you deposit anything.
A demo runs on the same engine as the live book — identical instruments, spreads, margin, swaps and stop-out. From $100 on Standard or $500 on Raw spread when you fund.
