@Propfirm Can I group trade through through TradingView w/ just the group feature on Tradovate ?

🚨 Tradovate Prop just shipped the two most requested features in prop trading. 🔒 Account Lockout Lock out accounts one by one. Positions flatten, orders cancel, new trades blocked on that account only. The rest of your lineup keeps trading. Pick 15 min up to 24 hours. Once locked, no early exit. 🎯 Bracket orders now work with Group Trade Place one entry and your SL/TP attaches to every account in the group automatically. Each account gets its own independent OCO bracket. No third-party copier, no VPS, no extra cost.

@nuttybartrading Great take !!!

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...

@DoctorTrades1 One account at a time or multiple ? If so how do you group trade ?

I took over 400k in payout last year 100% from my phone ask me anything in the comments I’ll answer

@SpeedyMorman Let’s get it @JoeBuddenPod @JoeBudden

end of an incredible era. after 10+ years, ive decided to step away from Complex and my show "360 with Speedy" to go independent and enter into some new partnerships. getting to work alongside some of my best friends and travel the world doing what i love has been the honor of a lifetime. Complex has been the best partner i could have ever imagined, and my life has changed forever because of them. interviewing, hosting, and connecting with people on a deeper level has always been at the heart of who I am. im excited to continue to do that with new partners and audiences, and I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years has in store

Props should just be upfront with lifetime payout threshold before traders either banned(hopefully for 6 months) or sent to live. I’m pretty sure everyone would still spend if they knew what was their goal …

@skelton_apex @andrew_nfx So it’s not a call up after 6 payouts anymore ?

Since he failed to disclose or to put in any of his answers.... to put into perspective, 40 individual separate payouts just between March 10th - March 19th- For a total of $60k in Sim Payouts, just in those 9 days, before the invitation to trade live. Invitation was met with a social media post of " WTF..." Not exactly what we are wanting to put real live money behind.....

I had all my APEX accounts closed and moved to Live apparently? WTF...

Prop space needs regulation. Shi is getting out of had.

Prop space might be cooked fr.

@VClouette @ApexTradeFund How many payouts before you got the call ?

Moved to Live Account on Apex I went to request a payout on apex and noticed all my 12 funded accounts were closed... Then I saw this notice saying I am being moved to a Live account. Is this good? I had no idea they have a Live account to be honest.. I'm trying to find the info on their live account in their FAQ right now but kinda lost... Not sure if I should be happy or not rn lol

@kaiweeen @ApexTradeFund @skelton_apex How many payouts/lifetime before you got the call up

@OkalaNQT @Topstep Do you know your lifetime payouts from TS ?

@Mona_Trades Appreciate that clarity 🤞🏽

@JamarGreaux Technically 7th payout overall with them but still only 2nd on these round of fundeds 😭

I hope every single one of you who commented asking “why haven’t they sent you to live” giving me bad juju lose a trade on Monday Got sent to live after just 2 payouts 👎🏼

Why is this a bad thing ? I appreciate the correction made by @Topstep to curl what was going on in metals and yoloers. Not a huge fan of the new live program, being It’s one of the main pros that placed TS head and shoulders above all comp but it’s still number # 1 and self preservation is necessary for the firm. As long as TS doesn’t pull traders to live before the payout caps and Topstepx runs smoothly… yall will stay 1st in my book.

@OkalaNQT All not accurate

you can see the exact moment when metals started to hurt @MichaelPatak pockets as soon as they cut them off they are back to their mean or lower payouts pretty interesting data - how fast a firm can take some serious damage due to market changes

@MichaelPatak @ppropfundsquad @Topstep Jordan doesn’t compare himself to LeBron

@ppropfundsquad @Topstep I hear you.. we have explainers coming out.. we dont go into comparing to the other firms but if you look into it we are miles bigger and more potential than any ..

🚨@MichaelPatak and @Topstep If you truly want to “make this right” for both the firm and the traders, then trader feedback cannot be ignored. When traders are consistently expressing frustration, the right move isn’t defensiveness it’s listening. You’ve shown flexibility before (like reconsidering restrictions on metals trading). That proves adjustments are possible. But many of us still don’t clearly understand the live rules and they feel less rewarding compared to expectations. Constructive criticism isn’t an attack. It’s feedback from the very people building your ecosystem. For clarity I’m not affiliated with any competitor. This is simply my honest view as part of the trading community. Make it right.

Calling XFA profits “not earned” doesn’t sit right with me… Most traders fail because rules exist. The traders who adapt to them develop real skill. Passing, managing, and paying out repeatedly under restrictions is the whole game. That is performance.

If this is true then like what's the point of trading?!😭

The new changes to Topstep are pretty embarrassing for such a large firm that was essentially first to market. Moving to Live should be a privilege not a handicap marketed as a privilege..

When you buy an account with specific transition rules given when you move live, if you change them, you need to only apply that to accounts purchased AFTER the new live rules. That IS a retroactive change on what a consumer was buying and led to believe the end goal would be.

Pretty messed up to change the rules for anyone that currently has xfas or purchased evals. The new live rules should only be active for NEW PURCHASES. Existing xfas were purchased under the hope of making it live with the large balance that’s always ONLY been possible at topstep. Changing that rule for existing accounts is a rug pull and RETROACTIVE rule change. Saw someone with 130k profit he made based off the rules at the time he purchased accounts, so he has to forfeit profits for rules CHANGED weeks later.
