-Learning how to properly discern market direction will only benefit traders. It seems that many traders rely too heavily on hope-based strategies (hoping that price will retrace briefly; hoping that price will bounce off of a support line; hoping ...

-I suspect that they are responding based on what can be surmised from his trading videos, in lieu of making assumptions based on what I write here.

-I understand, but trading that way without a stop-loss seems very questionable to me. I have been watching several traders on Youtube lately, to see how they are doing with Apex, and I cannot believe how some of them are trading. Most of them seem ...

-I have seen a few of his videos. Most of the trading that I have seen is very short-term micro-scalping, with positions usually open for less than a second. TP is usually anywhere from 7 to 15 ticks with no SL. Painful to watch, but not prohibited ...

-You can, as JustPipMe mentioned, but you should wait to activate any accounts until you have open slots available in order to avoid going over the 20 PA maximum. You can have as many evaluation accounts as you want, completed or not, but you will ...

-You just keep paying the evaluation fee until you are ready to activate them. You do not want to activate them until you have available slots open, since having more than 20 PA accounts is prohibited.

-My preference would be that they simply put a cap on monthly profits. That is what they should be doing already, instead of allowing traders to hit 6 and 7-figure monthly payouts. Allowing those massive payouts will only lead to trouble. If they ...

-Good point. Statistics for Apex are based on traders. Per their site: "The customer pass rate of the evaluation program was 43.13% between January 1, 2023 – Sept 1, 2023, who traded at least one evaluation and obtained a PA Account during this time ...

-Yes, probably so. Which is why I say that trying to gauge the resilience of the model may be difficult since all we have are phase-one statistics and as you noted, phase-two is littered with all kinds of rules etc..

-Are you sure? Based on the limited data that has been published, MFF averaged around 10% pass-rate for phase-one, which steadily increased over time, as high as 18% to 19%. The Funded Trader saw as high as a 27% pass-rate for phase-one, during the ...

-Honestly, I think that these firms are probably looking at things through a narrow lens. They are probably more concerned about what a trader is doing this month, rather than what sort of total damage he has done up to this point. I doubt that they ...

-Based on my understanding, there is nothing to be gained from it. You basically use your own profits to fund the account. I do not know if you have to keep forfeiting 10% of your profits to Apex. Since Apex will not disclose much about it, it is ...

-They won't publicly disclose that either (I asked them already). Not only will they not tell us what criteria they use for determining when/who to put on live, but they will not tell us the profit threshold, if it's based on monthly or accumulative ...

-Since props are not regulated in the same way as brokers, then licensing seems like the more realistic approach. But even with licensing, criteria must first be defined in order to discern eligibility. I'm not quite sure what sort of requirements, ...
