Start with the basics — we'll verify your identity in a later step, as required to open a funded trading account.
Step 1 of 4
Regulatory disclosures & consent
Apex500 operates under DFSA and VARA-aligned compliance controls. Please review each disclosure below — required items must be accepted to proceed.
Terms of Service & Risk Disclosure
Required
Evaluation ("challenge") accounts are simulated and do not involve real trading capital until funded. Trading leveraged products carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Virtual Asset Risk Disclosure
Required · VARA
Where your account includes virtual asset (crypto) instruments, these are subject to the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) framework. Virtual assets are highly volatile, may lose significant value rapidly, and are not legal tender or government-backed.
Privacy & Data Protection Notice
Required · DIFC DPL 2020
We process your personal data (identity, contact, and verification data) to open and administer your account, in line with DIFC Data Protection Law No. 5 of 2020. You may access, correct, export, or request erasure of your data, and withdraw consent, at any time via privacy@apex500.example.
Source of Funds & AML Declaration
Required
To meet AML/CFT obligations, please confirm the funds you will use are lawfully obtained, and declare your Politically Exposed Person (PEP) status.
Trader Agreement
Required
This agreement is a placeholder. It is not a contract and does not bind you or
Apex500 to anything. We record which version you were shown so that when the drafted
agreement replaces it, we can ask you to read and accept that instead.
