{quote} Also no point in making huge gains on PA account as it will unnecessary enforce Consistency rule. For example for 50K withdrawal threshold is 2.6K so no point in making more than 2600*0.3 = $780. If you make more they will enforce you to make more profit.
The sweet spot with the 50k accounts is making an average of $500 a day and stop. Doing that, you’ll meet the payout threshold for the first three months. Making that amount on a daily basis is incredibly easy.

{quote} you need something that can have way small SL & little bit more TP and chances of hitting TP are way more than hitting SL and we need not to make big profit in a single trade.. we need mulitple trades with small TP
Nope you typically have inverse risk to reward ratio. For example if your target is 10 points set limit order standing at 10 points above for buy and below for sell.
If you trade micros. You dont even need stop loss you can easily close manually things or set wide stop loss.

{quote} Apex is intraday only, so whatever mentality you apply for forex wont work. You want to trade the most liquid instruments and that's US indices. You want to trade them after the 9:30est open (i prefer after 10am est) and be strategic on your entries. You're scalping on the lower time frames and always taking profit. You're taking small chunks every day. Trailing DD is never a concern for me as my losers are far less then my winners. Like I've said a thousands times, if you know how the game is to be played, its incredibly easy.
Do you take profit and SL with limit/stop orders or you just hit market order ?
I was wondering how are the fills in the funded account (in the challenge they are unrealistic - too good)

I'm waiting to see what Funded Peaks has to offer. Being that they are from Germany I'm sure it is legit. I don't know if the prices will be something that I want to do but if it looks good I will try them. If that does not work and everything else fails then and only then will I try futures.
I though the same. For someone wanting to create a scam and deny payouts Germany should be one of the last choices.

Unless this is an intentional strategic decision, just like the spelling mistakes of the other ones.

{quote} yeah, APEX is different from FOREX what we are used to we need our trades to always hit TP even if it is small and we need a lot more time gap in our next trades (sure trades) and always want to hit TP we need a strategy which hit SL way less than out TPs only this way we can have more chances to win in APEX
Look at apex as 2 steps.
Phase 1 is to get to funded
Phase 2 is to pass the trailing.

From then on it's exactly the same than a forex one with a static DD.

It's not so generous but it's still the same mechanics.

{quote} One way I am avoiding trailing thing is I put Limit Target order with every buy or sell. It is more important than STOP loss as trailing DD will kill the account.

For profit always limit orders as if I do it market order I had pretty bad experience of lag and I tend to get greedy . If market reverses it will be double loss even if it goes to breakeven. I cut trade in loss with market order most often but profits are small and limits just scalps. Good part with futures prop firms I can even go for 6 ticks or 4 ticks (1.5 points or 1 point) and still profitable.

at present I just looked at their "Trailling Threshold Drawdown" which I guess in Phase1 till you pass the challenge
I don't know how this "Trailling Threshold Drawdown" will work in Phase2 as you say PA accounts
Most will not even reach Phase2 because of this "Trailling Threshold Drawdown" which is there in Phase1 and the way it works as I seen in their Videos

Most of the time its market orders then SL placed on the DOM shortly thereafter.

I mean if I go for small target like 10 points and limit orders trailing drawdown doesn't impact on running trades and overall Drawdown. Usually trailing will impact when you have bigger target and bigger lot size.
For example for 50K account if I trade 5 micros NQ (MNQ) with 10 pip target and 10 pip stop I need to loose 50 times in a row to loose account.
If I trade 5 minis and use same stop I can loose only 5 trades and account is gone.

Honestly you should just stop, you never think before posting. APEX publishes the payouts BTW. There's several million dollar traders with APEX. They are also with other futures props and for those who have paying attention know them very well.

Are the fills in fund realistic with real market ?
I'm asking this because the other day in the challenge I made a mistake of trading 10 MES in 10 accounts (instead of 1 x 10 ES).
My price was hit and no way there was 100 MES contracts in DOM. However I got perfect (unrealistic) fill in all 10 accounts.

Just paid the $315 to activate all 3 of the 50K accounts with APEX. The emails requesting signatures and payment came about 6-8 hours after passing the challenges. The PA accounts were activated a few minutes after payment. Pretty smooth.

I don't believe on the numbers sampat posted like 1 million dollar paid to single futures trader on a single day
all these are marketing tricks any company using

I've seen some videos of Apex with level II dom. However mine (Rithmic) only shows bid / ask. Is this available or do we have to pay more ?

I don't care much about it because I have level II in IB in some bundle something and I see it in Multicharts, but I'm just wondering if I also have that available in Apex.

{quote} Quite often, yes. Madoff paid out for decades. How much it pays out doesn’t determine whether something is a scam, does it? {quote} Oh well. One person had no complaints for two years. Conclusive proof, there: can’t possibly be a scam?!
Every day thousands of people are paid. It's so easy to say "oh, this is a scam." It's the language of those who have no arguments (or losers)

It was a payout on his scheduled payout day, not profits earned for 1 day of trading. As big as APEX is, there has also been zero complaints of payouts.
