[@zettkusanagi6322]

The more you trade by the APex rules, the more they shape your trading. No matter at what stage, I take profit at the first candle against me. Its not a bad practice, yeah you could possibly win more if you had let it run, but this way you are securing profits. You can always get back in. Thank you for sharing the "its going to take at least a month" before you are able to ask for some of your gains. I really want this to work, you cant beat having someone trust you with a 25k account for $15 you are risking.

Excellent views on how we have access to prop firms that were never available to the common man before. When I started 17 years ago, you needed 5k margin and could only trade two contracts at a time. then discount brokers started to pop up. You are so right and if we want to trade their capital we must abide by their rules or else open your own account and then you can do whatever you like.

[@thebarbieinvestor5428]

Exactly Hustlers see the opportunity!

[@J123G]

Being in a 'short' position and loosing your data should have had you hammering either 'close' or 'flatten' ...not sending multiple 'buy' orders. You need hotkeys for both CLOSE and FLATTEN & CANCEL ALL orders. It is also very smart to subscribe to data from more than one vendor. Rithmic + another vendor (running on a second platform) I trade with Ninja+Rithmic but run two other platforms with two additional different data sources.

[@JohnSmith-zs1bf]

There is no flatten ordered. Your platform calculates an opposing order to close your position when you use that button. So if you're long 2 and hit flatten, your platform, on your pc, actually sends a "market sell 2" order to the exchange. The exchange can receive this order, and close your position, but if for whatever reason your platform hasn't updated and you hit the button again, it will attempt to close the two lots again by selling another 2 at market. That's why you should never, ever, pound the flatten button especially when you're having data issues, because you can end up in a massive position and it can skirt around any hard coded limits you put in your platform since it isn't being properly updated as to your position.

[@DanielLopez-bk8qk]

@@molhamdes if you start with a 50k account for example, your trailing drawdown would be $2,500. So if your balance hits 52,600 your drawdown would be 50,100 and then your balance grows to 55,000 your drawdown would still be 50,100.

[@coop5868]

If you're on the 50k plan and are up $2501 but end up skunking the trade break even you have not lost a dime but you have officially blown up your account. The platforms tend to be better for scalpers because anytime you're in a green trade and it backs up on you that is counting against you even if you close green. You can be up $2501 and eventually close at $1,000 green (still in profit -- you just made $1,000 on your first trade) yet you still have a -$1,501 drawdown. It's lame. I hate it.

[@mattportnoyTLV]

With the funded acct it’s different. Once you reach $52500 you essentially become the first loss, down to $50100. It’s their way of mitigating risk.

[@brandonweddle2577]

The key is under leverage with micros or target keeping with scalping

[@jimmyleon2284]

It’s the only way to protect there money because you are trading with THERE money. You have to make small profits of 500-1,000 a day or maybe more if you can. AND have a small $250 dollar loss. That is it. Please don’t make this harder. A lot of members in my discord got funded EASY. They all got the $50k account plan and passed it within a month.

[@kcholdings6970]

You shouldn’t be giving $1500 back on a trade. Would you want to fund someone giving that much back? Take profits and look for another entry.

[@Adjust0]

@@brandonweddle2577 what’s micros

[@Ibrahim48484]

you can choose a propfirm with relative drawdown if you are an intraday trader but never choose a propfirm with trailing drawdown because propfirms rules are already difficult and not easy to pass even with balance based drawdown .

[@bill7778]

The trailing drawdown is not as big of a problem as people make it. Don't go in with max contracts allowed , set realistic take profit goals and take profit. The big thing with Apex, is after you get funded the trailing drawdown stops at $100 above your initial account size after you have made the drawdown amount. So if you start with a $100k account and the drawdown is $2500, after you make $2600 in the account your drawdown stops at $100,100.00 . Most all of the other prop firms stick you with a daily drawdown even if you have made $50000 or more. Basically, once you get in a funded account and make some money there are very few rules with APEX.

in my opinon and experience Rithmic is one of the worst data providers I've used over the years, my other connections through other providers hardly ever have issues. As for the prop accounts the trailing drawdowns are very predatory and sneaky. It's one of the sleeziest things about doing funded accounts. I've had around half a dozen accounts over the last 2 years get pulled well above the starting threshold bc of the trailing drawdown. Imagine your accounts being $1000 or more in profit and failing bc of the trailing drawdown..... More and more props are starting to offer static or EOD accounts which do not adjust based off unrealized gains which in my opinion is a way better option for majority of people. Congrats btw on passing your evals.

In futures prop industry the best account choice is 50k usd with no daily drawdown. It iş not logical to choose big size accounts in any manner . Besides being funded is just the first part of the journey. Pro traders as YT channel owner should speak about withdraws not being funded…

[@riskalphatrading]

This trailing drawdown is one of the reasons I prefer to trade my own money, I mean common you can save up 5k and trade micros. You can essentially take on the same risk as in these prop firms and it's your own money. Complete ownership.

300k account is basically 35(contacts) x 500(day margin) = $17,500 Now lets say you take 20-30 contacts, and you hit the thresholds in seconds. Paying $700/month, i guess at that point its just better take out the loan and trade yourself without any limits. No payout limits, no thresholds or monthly fees on "pittance account". Considering targets, volatility and the actual amounts its mostly just a waste of time, so that Apex could milk you monthly and reset fees. Its easy to make $ but trailing threshold vs per trade "on 300k" makes it more like trading on some 4000usd actual account. Whats the points of paying 700usd mo at that point? Just trade 2 M2K contacts w +2 adding up to like 10 and u will prob make far more.

[@davidclark9208]

Sorry, but i've got to disagree with that assessment Korbs. I agree with you about the fact that we are not entitled to the funding so rules are to be expected. But to have a fixed trailing drawdown that never stops AS WELL AS doing it on unrealized gains is forcing traders to trade a specific way. Having one or the other would be understandable, but having both forces you to not be able to let a trade breathe. If you know what you are doing and you get in on a low, price is going to run up and then retrace before resuming higher. You could easily be knocked out of your trade and your account on the retracement even though your SL wasn't hit, just because of your unrealized profits. Like you stated in the video, you are never able to build a cushion. That fact keeps you from being able to scale up your trading. I almost went with APEX but these were the issues that kept me from going with them. I ended up going with Topstep.

[@korbstrading]

I wish you would reconsider :)

[@williammiller7714]

The trailing drawdown does not go on forever. Per their website - " In a paid/funded account, the max drawdown stops trailing at $100 plus the initial plan balance, i.e., $50,100 on a 50k plan and will not keep trailing.

[@TraderMatt89]

Apex does have a $100k Static evaluation option with no trailing threshold but the allowed drawdown is tight at $625 (?!), with profit goal of just $2000.

[@cinemaheist8]

The easiest way to pass apex is to do the 25k account. If you can’t make 1500 with a 1500 drawdown then you should be on sim. Then once you get the funded account u can escape the drawdown. The 300k account is really the best value but def much harder to make 20k with 7500 drawdown.

[@cinemaheist8]

I think top step is worse bc it’s more expensive and longer eval and it has daily drawdown which to me is more restrictive

[@nuclearves89]

Outstanding review, I am finding that Apex is exceeding expectations. I appreciate your objective review.

[@paulharris9868]

Drawdown is not the big of a deal, if you cannot make say 3K before you lose 2.5K then you probably should not get real capitol to trade a 50K account, which is what those drawdowns are for I mentioned, cause i have 20 accounts, you can have that many max. you can spread your risk easier this way, so if you make say 200 only for one account, you have a tool called trade copier that lets you trade on one account and copy to all your other accounts, so 200 per day x 20 accounts = 4K per Day of which you will get 90 percent of those profits after funded, and the first 25K per account withdrawn is 100percent yours before the 90/10 split. And they always runs specials, right now even they are 90% off so a 50K account would be 16.00 dollars per account, not 167.00! Sale right now till july 4th.

[@pneumatrading]

no, because you have surpassed the trailing in profit. once you have made the trailing + 100, the drawdown locks to the balance for instance the trailing on 100k is 3k...when your account gets to that + 100 (3100) then your account would be 103,100. your drawdown is now at 100k and as you grow, the drawdown stays at 100k. for you to lose the account, you'd need to get all the way back to 100k from 110k in your example
