Apex Trader Funding: at least 3 Trustpilot reviewers since Sep 9 say they were blocked from buying new evaluations Three Trustpilot reviewers in the visible pull say they were blocked from buying new Apex evaluations. Brandon Logue (US, Sep 9, 3 stars) says a "No more Evals Available During Review Period" message appeared on his account about a month earlier, that support said it was either a review for Live Funded status or a possible violation, and that his later messages went unanswered. Edwin (ES, Sep 16, 2 stars) says support told him his profile was under compliance review and being assessed for a Live account, with no answer in over a month. Rodrigo Santos Alves (BR, Sep 20, 1 star) says no reason was given. Apex replied to 8 of the 120 reviews pulled, all 5 star, and to none of these three.
