You guys have spoken good long time about APEX 3.0 rules.

1 ) 30 % consistency rule is clear. The best day in a 8 day cycle can not be more than 30 %. If it does... just contine to trade until it becomes 30 %

2 ) 8 days trading required and 5 days 50 $ required , each day minimum profit earning required in order to be eligible for payout.

3 ) Safety net required, for a 50k account, 2.5k. This is actually traling DD allowed for 50k allowed. And this rule already exists in Tradefy if any of you traded with them. Is this 2 step challenge as some one calls it ? No. It helps in Draw down level. for a 50k account, the drawdown breach is 2.5k.
4 ) You are not supposed to loose more than 30 % of profit earned.

Meaning, this is applicable after you earn minimum thershold of 2.5k. 30 % in 2.5k 750 $. Simple, do not loose 750 $ in a day.

Some one was saying is this applicable on 2 nd day of trading after 1 st day of profit 100 $. no.

5) Unlimited DCA is allowed.

Safety net required
-$500 can be withdrawn from the safety net. At 4th payout, the safety net is no longer required; this also applies to pre-existing accounts.

-This is always applicable on PA, but the draw-down allowance is used as the profit value until the safety net is established.

Simple, do not loose 750 $ in a day.
-Your open/unrealized P&L cannot drop below the -$750 at any given time, but you can still lose more than $750 in a day with a 50k account.

I am simply stating this to add clarification here, and to limit the spread of misinformation. Personally, I think that Apex could have handled this better.

Yeah its extreme damage control now. The fall of CFD props + cheap offerings made them an easy target for gamers to game it.
-Yes. I suspect that they are also shifting gears in an effort to work with exchanges/regulators and to look better on paper. It almost seems as if they are scrambling to establish some favorable paper trail of evidence with all of the recent claims.

I trade in Asia when risk is low.

I see that i earn 200 to 250 and then close my tradovate.

I shorted s & p 500, as early as 6 pm est. Done 255 $ closed all.

This is best way to manage risk.

After Asia, once this is done, I trade FXIFY.

I am not saying rules are bad. The point we are dicussing is Apex is no longer top 3 in my list. If we comparing it with tradeify kinda of firms then its already fallen below the expectation.... The actual comparison should be with topstep, mffu kinda firms which are in top 3. Their product offering with pricing is way better than Apex 3.0 in my opinion........ And way simpler rules. so no room for mistakes..

Also for tradeify 80bucks for EOD account and to get a payout reach safety threshold + 100$ and you can ask for 1500$ payout....

Now Apex always complaining about schemers and scammers... But why these schemers not able to do the same thing with topstep/mffu kinda firms thats a big question??? where offering is better and prices are cheap......
People need to understand before i used to advocate Apex coz no matter what they pay big money and its kinda achievable to get to 1 payout atleast. Now if someone says they give 20 accounts but people forgetting it requires 2500-3000$ min. capital to get that many accounts and it has become a bit harder to get a payout meaning higher chances if losing account(INTRA TRAILING or accidentally violating rule) or getting denied....

Apex is now bottom of my List ... TOpstep > mffu > takeprofittrader > apex/tradeify (EOD which is 80$ for 50k no activation fees)

The futures arena is a regulation ticking bomb.

TST is the oldest and, nevertheless, we see this in the funded agreement:

So, people do the Combine (which is their one step challenge) and they are granted with a XFA (Express Funded Account). As we see above this is a videogame (simulated), not a real thing.

Nothing new here, we all new that, but even being a simulated stuff, we can chose their platform TopstepX which says clearly that we're "paying" NFA + Clearing fees.

Let's see how much time regulators tolerate someone saying they are "charging" regulatory fees without in fact the regulators get any of it.

We thought that Angelo was unbeatable but the guy from FTT is a serious candidate. How can this be possible ? A CEO joking with a delayed payout to the audience.

I don't know about indexes E8 and MFFx are slipping a lot in forex, even for 1 or 2 lots, in quiet times.
It's probably the way of getting rid of people traying to take advantage of feed, HFTs and max leverage guys.

I'm about to receive a payout in Fintokei. First one ever there. Let's see how it goes (I'll wait until payout date without trading to secure the refund and then it's a free ride).

Also received the refund of Funded Engineer and My Flash after dispute. In Flash I was doing a challenge when it was moved to Sway and DD was changed from static to trail. They refused the refund. That's why my portfolio of props includes a reckless section. On the worse scenario I just hit them with a dispute.
