@TradeDadLog Wow, congratulations on today's profit!

@marciomgp86 thank u! it start at 0 with a -$2k drawdown

Just got moved to Live on my MFF 50k Rapid account after making almost $10k yesterday. I was expected around $7k payout today but it’ll be just ~$4.4k (the rest stays in reserve). No complaints. Grateful for the opportunity to trade with real capital. Now the real work begins: consistent days and daily withdrawals if possible. God’s timing is perfect. Let’s make the most of it.🙏

@barcanation @PolymarketSport The player admitted that he headed the ball. Check his comment.

@PolymarketSport Yeah sureeee, the tech always wins, specially when it is convenient. Igor Matanovic also had a head microchip that confirms all that, right, right??? PortuVAR Is winning the games on the desktop

🚨JUST IN: FIFA’s statement on Croatia’s disallowed goal vs Portugal: According to the data provided by Connected Ball Technology housed within the Trionda. It was proven that contact was made by Croatia's #20 Igor Matanović in the build up to the goal against Portugal, allowing the referee to correctly determine offside and disallow the goal

I'll be staying out of the markets for at least 1–2 months. I have an urgent health issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Right now, my focus has to be on dealing with that. I just hope I haven't caused permanent damage to my life. Time will tell.

Just lost my Lucid Trading accounts. I bet against the downtrend, stayed stubborn, and got run over by the market. A hard reminder that fighting the trend is usually an expensive mistake.

@FuturesFarming @Alpha_Futures_ @TakeProfitLLC You are a machine, crazy.

Had a bit of tilt last night and lost my @Alpha_Futures_ pas after the big payout. Was up 4k early and tired pushing, obv that doesn’t usually end well. We all have our trading demons. Half passed new evals. Made 10k on all 5 @TakeProfitLLC pro accounts, so I’ll request 40k after the split tonight on them. $600 on @bulenoxofficial pas. Passed @fnfutures flex so I’ll start pas tomorrow there. Day two on @TradeDayFunding evals. Did profit day on @Tradeify pas, enroute to another 20k Friday I hope.

Day 2 with the 5x 25K Lucid Trading Flex funded accounts, and what a day. I read the market very well today. The price action was excellent, I managed risk properly, and overall the execution was solid. There was a bit of overtrading, but nothing excessive. The goal wasn't to make this much profit, but opportunities kept presenting themselves. I was focused, mentally sharp, and in control, so I continued trading and ended up with a much stronger day than expected. Charts closed, platform shut down, and now it's time to watch Portugal vs Uzbekistan.

Hey, starting daily trading logs again. The idea is to build more accountability for myself by sharing my day-to-day publicly, I’m forcing myself to trade better, stick to rules, and respect daily targets and objectives. Today I passed 5x 25K Lucid Trading Flex accounts. Took me two days. A bit aggressive in the trades, but overall it went well. After activating them, I wasn’t happy with my trading. I took unnecessary risks, overtraded at times (to many trades, not good), and at one point I had already “closed the day” mentally. But greed to make more pushed me back into the market, I gave back profits and went into drawdown. With some luck and patience, I managed to recover and ended the first day in profit. But I think my profit might get removed. At one point, due to distraction/bug with Replikanto, I briefly had opposing positions (9 seconds): 1 MNQ long on one account and 2 MNQ shorts on the other 4 accounts. I closed everything immediately. All positions ended up in a small loss (-$1 to -$2). Let’s see if I get notified.

@SmokeyNQ @TQtradesNQ @TradingLucid Hey, just to confirm 5x 50K accounts with $2,000 drawdown, correct? Congrats and best of luck in this new phase.

@marciomgp86 @TQtradesNQ @TradingLucid Yes I had 5 active funded accounts. The transition was smooth as can be. I did the paperwork and 1 day later the accounts were ready

Called up to live capital with @TradingLucid Real money now. Same process that got me here. $NQ

@SmokeyNQ @TQtradesNQ @TradingLucid Hey, can you share any more information about the transition, if you've received any updates of course? By the way, you had five active 50K funded accounts, right?

@TQtradesNQ @TradingLucid Thank you my brother! I believe that I’m starting with 5 lucid live accounts. So my balance will be 10K I think. I’m not 100% sure, gonna reach out to the risk team later to set up the parameters

A quick update on my prop trading journey over the last two weeks. I've been trading sets of five 50K accounts with Tradeify, Lucid, and Take Profit Trader. Passing the evaluations hasn't been a problem, but once I reach the funded stage, I keep losing control. It hasn't been easy, things haven't been going well, and I'm starting to feel disappointed with myself. A good portion of the profits from my Apex payouts has already been burned on evaluation accounts, with zero payouts to show for it. I'm starting to feel concerned and anxious. What's frustrating is that I had the opportunity to secure two good payouts already $5K with Tradeify and $7.5K with Lucid. In both cases, greed got the better of me. Instead of taking the payout, I pushed for more profit and ended up losing the accounts. I'm considering going back to posting daily trading reports like I did in the past, hoping it creates more accountability and pressure. Maybe it will help. At the end of the day, though, the real issue is that I still struggle to consistently follow my own rules. #proptrading #futures #futurestrading

@PSi_trades 5 payouts from only one account?

Live callup. Lucid this time... 1 account only, zero balance, 3k drawdown. From sim account with 30k buffer to live with 3k drawdown. 24 green trading days. 5 payouts. Excited ;-)

@nuttybartrading So if I only have one 25K account, I’ll receive just one live account with a $500 drawdown? You’re not being completely objective here.

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...

@Trader_Tanish Hello, The payout was requested at the end of April 7th (legacy accounts). On April 13th, it was approved. I received the notification from Plane that I received a payment from Apex on April 15th, and the money arrived in my account on April 17th in the morning.

@marciomgp86 When it got approved and when you get plane email buddy?

Been away from posting for a while. Reasons: work holidays, time to rest and enjoy the spring. Received the $9K payout from Apex, got notified that I’ll be moved to live account(s), the new Apex website is now active and my profile is configured, but I’m still waiting for more updates. I also started using other prop firms (Lucid, Tradeify, TakeProfitTrader) new adaptation, new rules, platforms, etc. It’s not going as expected. The Apex payouts gave me a dangerous level of confidence. I need to slow down, more patience makes a huge difference. #proptrading #futurestrading

@theholisticnick GUT

A client who'd been cleared of SIBO twice by two different practitioners came to me still dealing with the same symptoms. Same cycle every time: feel a bit better, never reach 100%, end up back where she started a few months later. Bloating, sulfur burps/gas, loose urgent BMs, mood shifts after meals, cystic acne around her period. Testing had only been breath tests and only measuring methane and hydrogen. Hydrogen sulfide wasn't being picked up. Ran a trio smart breath test, comprehensive stool test and blood work. Dug into symptoms, tolerances and patterns over the last two cycles. Things started making sense. Confirmed hydrogen sulfide. Several key bacteria deficient with low butyrate output. Suppressed secretory IgA, high inflammation and permeability. Low digestive enzymes, high bilirubin. This wasn't just SIBO. Simply throwing antibiotics at it the first round and antimicrobials the second with some probiotics afterward was never going to work. Within 12 weeks of addressing the issues, symptoms were gone. A month later, she was back to 100% this time and able to actually stay there. Have seen this a lot. It's almost always because a critical piece of the puzzle was never identified or not being addressed in the protocol. If you want a free guide on why issues return and the common mistakes I've seen, comment GUT and I'll DM it.

Totally agree. I’ve already missed multiple payout opportunities and blown several PA accounts due to a lack of mental control and a poor sense of real monetary value. That’s something I need to fix, along with trading with patience understanding that it can’t all happen in four or five days, but rather over weeks or months.

Not going to lie, but why trading mentally messes you over real monetary value. For instance in the past.. I could be up hundreds to thousands of dollars in a funded account and it has no effect on me. 5-10 minutes later I get greedy, and lose it all and don’t bat an eye. When in reality, the average person doesn’t even make 4-500 at their day job. It’s crazy to think about it. Same thing about buying evaluation accounts. I could buy a handful at a time and don’t bat an eye. Yet, when I’m out and about I’m contemplating spending an extra few bucks at the grocery store or at a restaurant. It’s funny how trading does that to you. I’m going to work really hard to bring myself back down to reality. Maybe it will drastically improve my trading and go for base hits, and take profits, but also end the day without over trading.

@OkalaNQT Same thing for me too, 14 graduated accounts.

getting moved live with apex i talked about this couple months back - the sim game is over and won’t be back end of an era there’s no such thing as a million dollar payout anymore consistent live trading is the only way now trade for longevity all good.

Great way to start the week 💥 $9,000 payout approved from Apex Trader Funding. (6 × $1,500) 25K Legacy Accounts
