{quote} Actually it makes sense to lose that extra $200 intentionally. Now I have to make $1700 more instead of $1500
And they say we need to treat the accounts as if it was our real account. Who would intentionally try to lose money on his own account or stop making money on a day ?

No wonder people have to game the system.

Just went to pay my PA fee for an APEX 50K and got this message when clicking the payment link. You know business is booming when they can't even take your money. {image}
I saw that in Discord yesterday. It's a complete mess. Tradovate seems to be unable to cope with all the new account requests.
I can't imagine the pile of money that is now flowing to futures. No wonder that forex antics are feeling the pain.

{quote} Not Just Booming --> to the MOON.... I did my part and went Beyond so no one will have payout issues with APEX. 1. Paid one time full for 20x50k PA accounts. 2. Purchased 250kx20 evals for Yolo'ing 3. Purchased 20x50k evals for backup At this point i'll give my pin of my bank account to Apex to add as many evals on my behalf.
@montygoldy Great job! How much time do you have to pay after your sign your successful evaluation account? I read that you can pay a week or more later, can you confirm? Do you pay lifetime or monthly for PA? I hoped that the lifetime option for 50k would be also 85usd, but it seems that it is only for 250k accounts.
My strategy is Yolo-ing evals, but after that I choose very slow and careful approach, so I prefer lifetime.

{quote} . Considering ICFunded, FundedNext and CTI as well. Anyone with opinions on these 3? A bit leery of the other firms. .
Since no Ftmo account I'd go with them. Should be everyone's first port of call along with 5ers. Build out from there.

I am in early stages with city, no complaints so far. Stop-loss required within 60 seconds bit of a pain. Must pay attention to that, not a normal practice for me.

As far as I remember the trades were automatically closed if we missed the SL 60 seconds and it was not a hard breach. Not sure if it's like this now.
What I didn't like in them is that to receive funded credentials we need to send a video of of about 45/60 seconds relating our experience with them and this could be published in social media. IN the form to which we were attaching the video there was no opt-out option.

Submitted my payment request today for 15K on my AQUA funded 100K account (over the radar threshold I know...). Since payments are processed in 2 business days, hopefully it should be approved by Wednesday, will update the thread when I hear something back

For CTI, I was asked to repeat the verification after I passed it with just 2 largish trades. In my 2nd attempt I passed with 4 trades and they then gave me the funded account. And yes you do have to attach a video (mine was just a few seconds long and they didn't object to it)

what lots sizes are we talking about here for the largish trades?

Repeating verification is absolute BS if you havent violated rules or guidance. They basically get another chance for you to fail or save the 5k you just profited to pass again.
My veiw of city has dimminish greatly within 5mins and 2 posts.

You missed it because they don't disclose that upfront, which IMO is unethical.
Anyway, you just make a bold boring video which they won't ever use anywhere or, alternatively, you just focus on points that are not good. There's no obligation to say anything good.

This is nothing crazy. I was thinking in something like 20 or 30 lots on a 100K acct.
If CTI doesn't want that they should either limit leverage or lot sizing clearly. I hate this kind of shady behavior of prop firms and their hidden rules.

That is absurd. I might aswell stop now.

I wonder if it was the limited number of trades rather than the lot size they took issue with.

That's pretty low. Even with the5ers restricting me, they still allow 10 lots for forex. IINM, CTI already limits leverage to 1:30 for forex? 6 lots is still only 33% of margin on your 100k account.

I guess CTI is one to miss.

For Apex no timeline Pass and dont activate. Its just they will rebill you every month. So better to pay fees before month end. For me i havent gone beyond a month on my pA's. So first 20 pa's i paid one time then this current 20 is on monthly.

I didn't question it, but because it was 2 trades on the same instrument and close together, I guess they deemed it as gambling like behavior.

Something Important:

In MyFundedFutures, even if your account is breached / failed they will still bill you the monthly. So you have to login and go to your Accounts section then click on the three small dots on the rite side and click cancel.

This is really stupid but that is how it is. I did not get rebilled on my failed accounts since I cancelled them.
