Can I trade my own money with Apiary Fund?
Unfortunately not. The Apiary is not a security. This means it is not comprised of multiple investors’ money and it cannot be sold in parts, either.
How long does it take to go through the Beeline system and get funded?
Our Trader Development System (known as the Beeline to Funding) can be completed in as little as 3 months from start to finish. However, the timeline of each trader’s development journey is different. The Beeline is a self-paced program consisting of detailed instructional videos, and requires specific practice trades which meet certain requirements. As long as you’re dedicating about an hour a day and are able to maintain your stats on a positive side, it is feasible to complete the Beeline in 3 months.
Is there a risk deposit?
No.
Is there a cost?
Yes. When applying to join the Apiary Fund, new associates will pay tuition to enroll in one of 3 trader education tracks. The first track is the Floor Trader, and the tuition is $2,997. The next track is the Desk Trader, and the tuition is $5,997. The third track is the Market Maker, and the tuition is $12,497. There is also a monthly technology fee that covers software licensing, data-feeds, and web server costs.
Do I need to have a professional Trading License?
No. Since you will be learning on simulated trading accounts, a license is not necessary.
Do I have to be a U.S. citizen?
No. While our main office is located in the U.S., we have traders in every continent except Antarctica and in more countries than can be listed in this section.
Where did the idea of Apiary Fund come from?
Having a lifelong career in money management and financial education, our head trader was asked to be an expert witness in an international case between an American and Chinese trading firm. Upon arriving in China to observe the company’s practices, he was surprised to learn that the company was training people from all backgrounds to manage their money, rather than just those with financial degrees. This provided the Chinese company with a unique risk diversification model, having multiple traders using diverse strategies. The Apiary Fund was created with a similar premise: allowing anyone the opportunity to not only learn professional money management skills, but also giving everyone the opportunity to trade company money and keep the larger share of the profits. Trading money that’s not their own also helps remove emotional stress from our traders. Using the internet, the professionals at the Apiary Fund are able to train people all over the world, giving them access to necessary software and training.
What if I’m already a successful currency trader?
If you’re already making pips in the market, great! Apiary would love to have you. With Apiary software having certain risk requirements and styles, it can take a bit to get used to. Due to this, experienced traders must still go through the Beeline. As long as you’re experienced, the Beeline process should go very smooth and fast for you.
