Locked and loaded with 30 funded accounts and surprising this time, no more “Apex” until they change the live model
@Topstep @TakeProfitLLC @TradingLucid @Tradeify @Alpha_Futures_ @E8Markets
Going to start trading from next week and just focus on 1-2 micros and don’t care if accounts have 2k or 5k drawdown.

U pay $445 x 4 for 20 $50k accounts and you end up getting $3500 DD on live account if Apex decide you to move to live before the payout…. After all you pass them and get to eligible for payouts, IS IT WORTH??
@ApexTradeFund give us some directions about sim payouts before you even talking about Iive program?
Hope @ApexTradeFund has plans to get back traders who are eval banned !
Even I am Eagerly waiting for an update
I know we can't take big payouts in SIM like earlier, i wouldn't mind being in their live program !

Agree completely.
@ApexTradeFund should do what tickticktrader did in the past if their care not to pay traders huge payouts.
When you request a payout, they pay 50% to trader, 30% to vault and 20% prop split.
Apex shouldn’t move trader to live unless Vault gets to 100k and trader can take multiple payouts. If funded accounts are blown, vault will still have the money and we can start new funded accounts to build vault further.
Once vault gets to 100k: move the trader to live and have 20-25k DLL with margin based account with daily payouts if the accounts are above initial balance. @skelton_apex
This limits the trader to milk the prop since it will be capped for 100k vault money which is accumulated from each payout.
My thoughts on Apex's Live Program:
Like 99% of you, I too am not a fan of what I have seen so far, I trust that it will be reworked after hearing a lot of feedback from affiliates and from traders.
Here is what I think it should look like:
Drawdown should be figured based on how many accounts and what size:
25k = $500 DD per account
50k = $1000 DD per account
100k = $1200 DD per account
150k = $1500 DD per account
So if you have 20 50k accounts transitioning to live you get 20k DD.
The other elephant in the room that needs to be addressed is moving people Live after 1,2 or 3 payouts, it was promoted that you can get 6 payouts before you get moved Live. Traders need to trust that they can get to 6 payouts before getting moved to live.
The issue is, how do you handle traders that get 1-2 payouts, blow up and then rinse/repeat?
I propose a rolling 12 month payout cap, maybe 500-600k and once you hit this amount in any rolling 12 month period you will get transitioned to live if you reach the buffer.
What happens with your remaining balance? Im conflicted on this, I would be ok with a vault if the previous things mentioned happen.. 🤷
Apex is the first Prop firm I ever tried and they are my first love, and all I want is for Apex to be great again, so I hope they take this as constructive feedback.
Make Apex Great Again
Let me know your thoughts below...

20 accounts ---> 1 account. This is not good at all. @ApexTradeFund can you bring back 6 payouts before you transition to live as you promised when you launch EOD accounts.
I am MORE likely going to blow my current PAs which are left with small drawdown. If accounts are gone, I am done with Apex if they wont change the model.
May 22
so i have over $150k in profit with my 20 apex accounts, moved live after 1 payout, but im going to get only a $3k account?
is this a joke lol

Made about $140 yesterday and $250 today on each of the funded account with @ApexTradeFund @Tradeify @Topstep @TradingLucid @TakeProfitLLC
Accounts are about $3500 each and haven’t requested payouts for now and waiting to build some balances before requesting
Not enough time to see charts due to the job and happy to make small money on each account which looks big when it multiplies

Nice gains across 35 funded accounts with @ApexTradeFund @Tradeify @TradingLucid @Topstep
All accounts are sitting around 3,100, except Topstep — added an extra 1,500 there when I traded them solo a couple of days ago.
Passed 5 $150k @TakeProfitLLC accounts
Next week, I will have 40 funded accounts and plan to take them more seriously with strict stop losses and take profits.
Happy weekend, everyone! Much-needed time off from the charts after a crazy move up in the markets.

$500 profit per account trading across 35 funded accounts with @ApexTradeFund, @Topstep, @TradingLucid, and @Tradeify.
Each account has balances close to $2500 in about 10 trading days.
Also passed 5 @TakeProfitLLC test accounts, with 2 more flip days left.
Hoping to clear the buffer and unlock daily payouts this time. Next update after I push TPT PRO past the buffer — or if I fail to do so.

Posting after a while, I wanted to post once I get to 40 funded accounts that include TPT at $4500, so that I can unlock my daily payouts.
After playing @TakeProfitLLC accounts for a few days, I lost them today. I was playing with a little size on these accounts to get over the buffer, unlike other accounts.
Nevertheless, I have 35 funded accounts from @ApexTradeFund @Topstep @TradingLucid @Tradeify
These accounts were traded for about 4 days over the last 10 days or so, and have about $ 1,500 in balances, including today's $500.
I will try to get PRO accounts with @TakeProfitLLC and unlock DAILY payouts and start posting regular updates whenever they happen.
Longterm plan is to trade 1-3 micros on these 40 accounts to grow them.

After a rough hit in February, March has started off much better. So far, about $20K in payouts have come through from @TakeProfitLLC 5 $150k PRO accounts.
Things still aren’t perfect though — I struggled with evaluations last week and burned through a few sets trying to pass them in 1-2 days.
Big thanks to @ApexTradeFund for launching EOD accounts. Last Tuesday, I passed 20 $150K accounts, but I didn’t activate them since I’ve been focusing on evaluations with other prop firms.
Before this change, I used to take profits quickly on Apex because of the intraday trailing drawdown. It was frustrating to give back profits, since it would eat into the drawdown and mess with my psychology.
I’m still working through evaluations with other prop firms. Once I have all the funded accounts set up, I’ll start posting daily PnL.
I don’t sell a course, run a Discord, or offer any services — these posts are just to keep myself accountable.

Trying $50k accounts on most props and @TakeProfitLLC 10 $150k test accounts

Whoaaa!! 🚀 Finally cleared the trailing drawdown on these @ApexTradeFund $300K PAs!
Shorted NQ when it was rejecting 21 ema and Vwap with 50 pt SL and took the advantage of this selloff.
Mostly, I may not be trading them tomorrow after going above the buffer.
@sage08 Bro, I need to get them to payouts this time, and I still remember you asking the question, and I blew accounts without the payouts
Honestly, once these PAs hit static drawdown with @ApexTradeFund, it’s insane. 🔥

Rough stretch in the markets last few days — blew most of my funded accounts with just a small payout from @TradingLucid
Lone survivor are @ApexTradeFund accounts, due to that larger drawdown.
Today’s the last day to grab @ApexTradeFund evals for 90% off — don’t miss it! Please use “karthik” when signing up.
Back to eval grind soon

I guess I need to take a break for tomorrow.
Let’s see what next week brings out

Not so great day in markets today with so much long bias and markets unable to break Vwap for higher prices.
Lost @TakeProfitLLC PRO accounts after 2 months and took many payouts from these accounts.
All other funded accounts only $150 loss or so. I play TPT separately to push and pay the price

Decent day on @ApexTradeFund @TradingLucid @TakeProfitLLC @Tradeify
$800 profits on each account. Potentially I can withdraw $800 from each TPT that gets $3600 after split but I will wait until I get them to $10k balances and then I can play aggressively.

Requested all the money above $5000 from @TakeProfitLLC 5 PRO accounts which is about $2400 after 90/10 split
This puts me at $16500 in payouts just this month from @TakeProfitLLC
I am on the same accounts from 1st week of December and best run so far on them in terms on number of trading days
Next step, I am planning not to withdraw from them again until all accounts hit $10k and then may be I can scale up for big daily payouts

What a tough day today.
Lost @fnfutures after the payouts trying to be aggressive to build back the drawdown
Of course, lost @Topstep since that was the leader to copy
Other funded accounts are ok with small losses. But markets were wild today
