Nope.

Still "under review" on day 9 which really is the strategy. It's not like they are short staffed and have been "reviewing" my trades for 9 days. Make trader wait 2 weeks and hope they blow their account or hit the trailing drawdown. If they are paying out traders in one day that have previous payouts and they make new payouts wait 2 weeks? Seems a bit strange but that's apparently the playbook for APEX. No big deal, already knew that when I started with them.

Futures have more strict rule. And recently apex updated their rules and refusing payouts if you break any rule.

Pardon my question but I have nor been yet in that exclusive group of the savages those that achieve a payout in Apex.

I thought that when the payout request is summited they deducted automatically the amount of the account, the payout is pending of analysis and if people blow the account they still receive the payout. Where am I wrong in this sequence ?

Rest assured, that no traders are ever banned from our service without investigations and evidence

But in the meantime they banned a pile of traders without evidence and without bothering investigating such a thing.

They denied it, which is not surprising. Not the first time a company denies a leak, either to hide it or because they are even incompetent to realize that it happened.

Anyway the guys that posted it say that source is reputable (whatever reputable means in this world of hackers) and says that 2 of the 10 leaked emails are in haveibeenpwned..

Edit: Besides, this guy has a good point. Leaked emails can be tested. Leak seem real.

They DO NOT deduct the amount of the request. You trade "as if" it has been deducted.

If your payout out is pending and you blow your account you do not get the payout. Good strategy by APEX to stall for 2 weeks.

OK, I see where my error was. Thanks.
So the strategy is to keep trading the account and stop trading it if the account reaches 0.01 above the payout amount requested. This way the payout is paid because we are 0.01 above the threshold (unless there were broken rules).

The problem with not trading much is if they deny the payout then, in my case, I have to turn 54,500 into 59,000 to request another payout. In the meantime I'm paying the $105 subscription fee.

It really is a brilliant strategy by APEX.

Even if they know they are going to deny my payout it's better for them to wait 2 weeks to see if I blow up the account. That way they are off the hook for the payout and its better for public relations that they didn't have to actually deny my payout. A win win for them. No payout and no stain on their reputation.

a lot of people disagreed when I was talking about their dirty tricks.
Meanwhile they still upgrade and update. Why they didn't just setup 2 servers - one for evals and other one for PA?

another question--- what % weekly return do you guys trading with APEX /whatever make, I haven't signed up yet with a futures firm but make 5-7% weekly in my personal fx account; given all the stringent rules and everything, how much weekly return do you think is feasible?

I was rereading the payout section of Apex and I think I'm entitled to a payout if I trade only 10 days in, let's say, 1 or 2 months, right ?
