@Hunt4Trades I agree with you but unfortunatly this is what "trading" is these days. Influencers control the narrative...
The best traders I know would laugh at this too

Bruh. If you are spending almost 90k in a MONTH I don’t care how much you make. I don’t care if you are being transparent. You are not trading, you are clicking buttons and being a degen gambler. Do better.
People say “oh treat prop firms like a business focus on the ROI”
Dumb take. We are trading. We are humans. Humans create habits from doing something repetitively.
I don’t know about you, but my goal is to eventually have enough capital that I’d laugh at the account size and payouts these prop firms allow you to take.
In order to get there, and stay there when I get there, I think it makes sense to trade the same way in prop firm accounts as you would in your live account.
But hey, what do I know I’m just some guy still walking on my journey.

February Recap Total: ~164k in payouts 🔹 TPT: ~103k 🔹 Topstep: ~61k 🔹 Tradeify: ~1k (affiliate so not counting it) Spend: ~88k 77k all at TPT doing PRO resets. 5k Lucid, 4k done via Tradeify/Alpha, and 2k FundedNext -Topstep: Had no spend here since I was moved live from accounts dating back to January. I was up ~25k trading live then hit a couple days of DLL and was feeling really down on myself so I ended up taking a 60k payout. Currently, I still have 50k equity or so in there, will see how things shape up with the war market now but I will definitely be paying myself soon. -TPT: They paused Perma PRO+ status for everyone after the #SI halt so that meant back to sim for me. Sim also meant instant activation into funded while previously I had to wait 2-3 days to get my live accounts. I started smashing PRO resets to take advantage of sim liquidity. Previously any time I put on 50/75+ minis on NQ in live, my stop was hunted like like 60% of the time. In sim that is not the case. At my peak doing these resets, I was around ~91k in payouts to the bank while spending 56k. But it is damn expensive, and a few mistakes meant 4 or 5 digits leaving my bank account. I started realizing how far south this could go. Around the same time my best friends @marketbuyonly @theOGBeast @OkalaNQT started telling me to stop so I decided to just listen to them and walk. -Tradeify: I received an affiliate payout for 1.5k. This has been a couple months coming as I had around 800 dollars in there but they had a minimum balance of 1k needed to payout. Then they launched the new select and flex plans this month and people started using my code again so ended up smashing the 1k and got more than what I needed for payout. -Lucid: I don't have any payouts to show for this month but I have ~30k profit in the funded accounts and am ready to pay myself out of these accounts come next month. -FundedNext: Couldn’t get it going with the BOLT plan in January, so I tried their 50k Legacy this time. But kept rushing and the 40% consistency and 3 day pass proved too much. Will try again next month and take it slower.

- Low cost of entry (80-90% Discounts Stay)
- One-time fee for Evals (no more rebilling, expires in 30 days
- Still 1-day to pass on evals
Cons:
- Tight DLL (See attached)
- Max 6 Payouts per account, then evaluated for live or back into Sim. (Max Payout on (20) $150k account is still $410k)
- Removed $250k & 300k accounts
- Increased Minimum Daily Profit required (to count as a traded day)
Legacy (old) accounts are not affected (everything stays the same).

This is my quant.
He codes YouTubers strategies then backtests them and shows how bad they are. This is amazing.

@dontbsalti not to be that guy, i agree that a dashboard 10second recording is needed, but why do you say that he withdrew 50$ only when in that same screenshot there are 5fig payouts
English
You know what this shows us ?
Planto was posting "60k" PnL days while he withdrew $50 from TPT
Market Mommy@dontbsalti
Can mr.planto @lanto_trades please explain to me why total transaction numbers and then the total expenses are different in the different screenshots he posted? shouldn't totals be consistent? so he took 8 tries and still couldnt get the math right?
English
@RHerman Nothing. If i try to buy a new rithmic eval i get an error: Issue found: You have already active subscription for 300k 35 contracts rithmic
Still unable to buy evals looks like

@mickomode You can find a reason why we're banned.
What does it say in your dashboard?

🚨 APEX JUST REVEALED THE TRUTH.🚨
The "Grey Area" is officially DEAD.
I just received the internal update for Apex affiliates, and the game has changed forever.
If you think you’re "sliding under the radar" with your trading style—think again.
Here is the breakdown of the NEW Apex Enforcement Era:
✅ The "Black Box" is Open: The new Trade Violations Tab is LIVE.
Apex is now tracking every single breach (MAE, scaling, hedging) with a unique Trade ID dating back to early 2025.
✅ "Pings" vs. Errors: One mistake?
That's a trading error. Repeatedly hitting thresholds? That’s a "Ping" pattern.
Apex is now systematically flagging "structural abuse."🚩
✅ No More Partial Screens: Tired of seeing "unfairly denied" payouts?
Apex is calling BS. They want to see the FULL dashboard, including the violations history.
Partial profit screenshots don't tell the story anymore.
✅ The Purge of Churn-and-Burn: If your "strategy" is just burning accounts to exploit the system, Apex is cutting the cord. Permanent sustainability is the only way forward.
The Bottom Line: Transparency is here. You can’t hide bad habits in the data anymore.
CTA: Log in to your dashboard -> User -> Trade Violations.
HOW MANY "PINGS" DO YOU HAVE? Let’s see who’s actually trading clean. 👇

🚨 TRADERS vs. APEX: The Real Story Behind the Drama 🚨 If you're a futures trader grinding through evals and funded accounts, you've probably seen the firestorm on X about Apex Trader Funding. Payout denials, bans after profits, endless reviews... it's got everyone talking. But is it all smoke, or is there fire? As an Apex affiliate, I've seen both sides up close – trader frustrations boiling over, and the firm's pushback with facts. Today, I'm breaking it down: 10 common complaints from YOU (the traders), straight from the trenches of X threads, and how Apex addresses them (drawing from insider convos, without spilling confidential deets). This isn't a defense or attack – it's transparency to help you decide if Apex (or any prop) fits your game. Buckle up, this thread is LONG but worth it. Let's cut through the noise. 👇 #ApexTraderFunding #PropTrading

@mickomode @BrettSimba I think Brett mentioned adding QT while on stream last week. Can’t remember for sure
English
@withdrawdaily damn, weird behavior from their part... You could rebrand the account and promote better firms
English
@UncleBugatti @ApexTradeFund why are you still trading with them??
They have banned many of my friends, including one that only made about 10k in payouts....
These guys are scums
English
Dear Apex, what do I need to do now? @ApexTradeFund . I searched my email and did not see any prior email
about this account. I only requested the payout because the dashboard allowed me to. So how many more days do I need to trade now?
English
@williamtradesfx apex's downfall...
Wouldnt be suprised if they go bankrupt in the next year...
English
@Emmonspired LOL then ban you forever and ignore all of your emails.
Fucking hate them. hope they bankrupt with that bullshit
English
LMAO. Apex sending out emails to customers today.
Might as well say, "congrats. the casino pit boss would like to talk to you. prepare your kneecaps for a beating."
Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit.

Social media makes it look like everyone's winning every day.
I've had weeks where I lost all my trades because conditions were trash.
Be realistic
English
The market doesn't care that you need rent money by Friday.
It doesn't care that your last three trades lost.
It moves when IT wants to move.
Your job is to be ready when it does, not force it when it doesn't.
English
Red days don't stress me anymore.
I've been red for weeks and still came back.
One bad trade isn't going to ruin you. Ten bad trades with no plan will.
Protect your account like it's the last one you'll ever get.
