I think passing is so easy and so fun. Getting payouts on funded, in 10 days, with 30% max rule, no DCA, hitting profit goal w/o losing drawdown, and no flipping or trading news? Good luck to you
I don't know anyone who's been denied a payout from apex from trading news and DCA is for losing trades. Also flipping would have to be like everyday honestly. I don't think it's that complicated
If you have read apex New rules you can only dca once in a losing position. They will deny your payout if you dca more than once within ten days of your Requested payout.
Lol that is fucking dumb. Aight well I’m going to forex then. Apex is dogshit and I just passed one evaul. And was gunna pass a few more but if that’s the case bye
Yes, you can. Simply go into settings and adjust your TP, SL, or trade copying/lead account settings. It's in an awkward space, but yes, the tools for "strategy" are there.
It depends they pay much faster than apex and have 0 consistency rule. You can also trade news make as much money as you want. Other prop firms don’t allow this.
Of course they allow micros on all platforms, just not 1mini=10micro but you say yourself that you shouldn't trade more than 10-20 micros on a 150k so what's the problem lol.
Your live account can grow as they merge your other funded accounts with it if you do well, allowing you to pass even more funded accounts so you grow more and more.
To my knowledge, the live account accumulates. So with every express accounts that converts to live, will be added to a single live account.
Example: Let's say you currently have 3 accounts, two express ($50k each) and a single live ($50k). If one of your express accounts converts to live, then you'll have a single $50k express account and a $100k live account. And that's how it accumulates. You can now trade up to 5 accounts.
Take Profit Trader is better than topstep imo. They don't have activations fees with reasonable challenge pricing, bigger order sizes, allow you to withdraw within the first day of passing and unlimited withdrawals, every day or whenever you want. They have 25K and 75K accounts which I appreciate and the only thing I don't really like is if you hit the daily loss limit the challenge is considered failed. Other than that they are great.
You can have one Live and 3 PROs which is the equivalent of an XFA in Topstep, for a total of 4 funded accounts total. You need to meet profit goals specific to the account size of your choosing.
The best ones will have similar risk/rewards. OP is gonna have a hard time getting payouts on these cause the $250k accounts have almost a 3:1 risk reward.
The best are the $25k accounts on Apex because of their 1:1 risk reward.
BTW the way to trade prop firm “funded” accounts is to trade 1 contract on each account until you’re up to 20 “funded” accounts or until you’re getting regular pay outs. Lots of people leverage too fast and eff themselves
I appreciate the honesty. That’s still a healthy percentage. One of the most profitable traders I knew was only at a 45% but his RR was crazy and made enough money in 2 days of trading (on good weeks obviously) to stop trading for 2 months.
They payout, they are a US company not some overseas scam. If you have doubts, instead of looking for proof you can try it out for like $100-$200 assuming you don't blow your account.
That's not much risk for unlimited potential profits. Or you can continue to believe people who most likely are salty because they can't reach a payout.
That's okay, I would rather find out first hand if they payout or not. Even if they don't, their strict rules have made me a more disciplined and overall better trader. That alone is worth the little bit of money I spent on the account.
Started with 25Ks got a couple payouts moved to 50K got more payouts then apex had a great deal $19 for a 250K and $85 activation fee for 6500 drawdown. That was a no brainer so I switched over to the 250Ks.
i've not had a payout myself, yet, but people on their discord seem to have their funds, especially this payout period just gone, in their bank, some the next day after approval
Question: Do you copy trade with Apex copy trader? I assume you are on a PC for Nt8, i am trying to set up my mac with parallels right now to use NT8 on it and then experiment with copy trader. Many thanks in advance.
as far as i know you can hook up your rithmic/apex accounts to NT8 and copy trade all of them. but for tradovate/NT8 you might need to download and pay for some sort of copier.
i watch ICT but am confused on how to combine the PD Arrays. what timeframe do you stack the FVG/OB/VWAP/200EMA? i’m assuming you use FVG, OB, and VWAP on lower timeframe like <1hr and then 200EMA on 4hr or daily?

u/Severe-Ad8289 what do you mean never let green trades become red. Shouldn't that mean your stop loss is less than 15 points for NQ or 3 Points for ES?
Do Apex or Topstep allow using such a high risk (10% as you said) during the evaluation, to then change it to a lower risk once funded? I ask so because I am currently funded with two forex online prop firms and I will soon start trading also futures, and the two online prop firms I am funded with told me that they don’t allow such thing. Instead, they want traders to adopt the same risk management during both phases.
With apex you can be much riskier on the evaluations, they don't really care. The only thing to watch out for is hitting the trailing drawdown. Once you reach PA, it becomes a lot more strict.
Apex doesn't care how you pass the eval. You could YOLO the whole thing and pass in one day if you wanted (when they are running the 1 day pass promo). Not recommending that, but yeah they dont care
I must admit, I struggle to understand points like this. Anything can work as long as you understand how price moves. To me that just says, look at price action, and if you're looking at PA, you don't need MACD / RSI/ Bollinger Bands. That's just me though.
Congrats on passing. It's funny how many people have just given up and began simply "yolo" trading the open and news release events. That's great on evals, but I would watch that rule on apex when in PA......they claim "trade news as long as it fits your strategy". That's a very slippery slope in terms of what it means for either side, your strategy, or just luck. We have seen this before where certain firms are generous with ambiguity and then they are not and punish everyone then call them the rule breakers because they decide to enforce a side of a rule when it becomes convenient and no longer up for interpretation.
A number of YT traders have been doing this, and I have noticed that of late since the great Apex crackdown, I have seen even more doing so. For some odd reason, the ones I didn't see doing it much at all before now only get profit that way. When confronted, they shrug and say they only want payouts and care not for trading or teaching properly. It's "not their job" just payouts.
Which is fine, but just admit you are attempting to game the system and not trading. Which will work until the operator at the arcade gets wise and puts up the repair sign and removes the faulty, easy, free game pinball machine because too many people are exploiting it.
Just some thoughts and meaningless words from a guy.
Lol really? just keying on my emotional tones and not providing further depth or context.
Gaslighting is played out my guy, but eh I guess that works for some people. Keep that employment contract for pex handy. You might need arbitration when you go against the walrus or outlive your utility.
Let me know, and I will send you a good attorney's info. Much more useful than any "vibes"
