I am all Apex all the time. I’ve almost abandoned my FX prop accounts, and still funded on several. No suspicious thoughts enter my head when trading Apex challenges / pa’s. For now anyway, I see no toxicity.

Hi JustPipMe,

It is good you've found one good one among the many that are out there. I hear good things about Apex from others. I will soon travel to them soon. May I ask what platform you're using? Best of trading to you.

Same here. Only fear is these 20 yr old CEOs coming over and ruining this space (futures props) now.. Just as I warned would happen 2 yrs ago in the forex props......Matt, Angelo, Bespoke, Maven, if you're reading.....stay away from futures, please. We can't have you ruin another income stream. Thank You.

They 100% will. Probably with new fake headshots and aliases. Scammers, all of them.

{quote} Now that you mention this I remember that in my refund (still normal refund, not a bonus) Alpha refunded the wrong amount. I had purchased with a code that entitled me to 150% (I just checked my records now) and they only refunded 100%. I had to request the remaining amount in the next payout in comments (they are not flexible to correct their mistake - at the same time I had a similar experience with 5ers and I got the error difference in Deel in about an hour after contacting support). And I already had to do KYC verification 3 or 4 times...
Been getting paid out by them for the past 8 months and it has been noticeably slower now. Used to be that I make my request and get it approved and paid within a few hours. Now it takes over 36 hours and I can't trade my account after the withdrawal, so I lose 2 trading days. The last new funded account I had, they didn't refund my fees even after I made a request and gave them the code used to purchase the account. I guess I will have to explicitly state the amount in the next withdrawal.

MFFx was the first to arrive. No way the other scammers will leave the big US futures cake without trying to steal a big slice.

I as surprised by the admission, even if those were fabricated numbers. Admitting publicly thatyou don't pay 10% is not something I would expect.
-I am even more surprised that people are still trading with them. That many payout rejections just shows how disorganized and out of touch they really are.

Meanwhile, been looking at Apex Trader Funding more and more these days. 30% of their total payouts over the last 2 years, happened within the last 90 days. It is no wonder why.

It is because they started 1 day pass out. Since Dec 27th. So there will be huge payouts but dont forget there will be 10 times more evaluation failures or signups.

I've not looked at them for a while, but my impression was there was pretty much zero chance of getting a payout from them with all the rules / barriers.

I am close to one but its really not worth it. I could have earned way more with similar capital to my original DD with a deposit.

So I will collect payout then kill the account as I only really did it to say I have done it. Maybe in April I will start in eval props again but not yet, waiting for Metatrader to confirm no more action against firms who don't accept US.

Assuming no further metatrader action, which firms would you eval with? Presumably your only considering those still offering mt4/5.

Me too Takisd all the rules trading days ect 30% is not my style as i swing trade most and for me less and better trades is what helps me be profitable and apex rules just pushes us to trade more and is more risky and more people fail

What's everyone thinking of the new trading platforms that have been forced on us? I've now unfortunately tried all the various platforms, Ctrader is my preferred option.

You can make 10K a day as long as you are willing to make 30K before making withdrawal request. It is actually better than forex prop firms once withdrawal threshold is passed.
Consider if you have 50K account with allowed trailing drawdown of 2.5k. Let say you make 10K on the account you have 10K of allowed drawdown daily no limit. Yea swing trading is difficult as trailing drawdown will kill account but scalping for 5-10 points in future is better as futures prop firms has awesome spreads 1 tick. Imagine forex prop firms have atleast 4-8 ticks spread.
