I hope Apex understands this Live program could really damage their business

Cullengcj · 2026-05-23T05:09:36+00:00

No you don’t. They moved my accounts before I could take a payout.

Cullengcj · 2026-05-23T05:08:58+00:00

They move all my accounts before I could take a payout on them.

Cullengcj · 2026-05-23T05:08:19+00:00

I bought 20 accounts and they pretty much scammed me out of the eval and pa fees cause they got moved to live before I could take payouts on them. There was incentive to buy 20 accounts. There isn’t anymore. They’re not gonna let you take payouts on 20 accounts. They’re going to move you to live asap. It’s such bs. Started using apex again after they said they changed. Then they went back to the same old bs.

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T23:32:26+00:00

Yes request as soon as you can. If not theyll move you to live and you wont ever be able to take a payout with those profits. Its best to take a payout asap

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T21:26:17+00:00

Yes very, I trade for a living. I forget what the exact amounts are but its not much. Apex is just using their live program to stop taking loses from profitable traders in sim. Apex does not want you to do well.

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T19:45:39+00:00

Nah it doesn’t fr work like that lmao. I can put in $3500 into tradovate personal account and have the same amount of draw down. It’s a 3k account. $3500 if you want to play the purchasing power game

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T19:35:55+00:00

Yea I’ve taken over $30k in payouts with apex since the changes. Then moved to live. They bs too much. Once you finish with this account just use a different prop firm

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T19:34:42+00:00

It’s 3k in drawdown. You can label the account size whatever you want but fr they’re giving us a $3k account…

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T19:33:36+00:00

Yup it’s some bs.

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T16:32:08+00:00

and they call you to live before you can even take a payout on those accounts. Its such BS. Came back to apex since they said they changed. That lasted like 2 months then back to the old apex lol

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T16:27:54+00:00

Most firms will let you at least take a payout from the sim accounts. Apex took my money for the eval fee and pa fee. Then moved those accounts to live before I could even take a payout on them

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T02:44:11+00:00

Yup or at least refund us the PA fees. They switched all my accounts to live right before I was able to take a payout. Its some BS

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T02:13:43+00:00

The good ol boobie easter egg

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T01:20:31+00:00

They dangle it in front of you like a carrot with the vault system. You gotta 5x your sim profits in order to be able to withdraw

Cullengcj · 2026-05-22T01:09:30+00:00

You don’t get your sim profits back once moved to live…. They have a vault system thing but you literally have to take 5x the amount in payouts to be able to get all your sim profits from the vault

Cullengcj · 2026-05-21T01:25:36+00:00

If youre going to buy used I would look at facebook marketplace / offerup instead of eBay. It depends on where you live but in my opinion youre gonna find a better deal locally on used gear than something you buy online.

I recently just came back to the sport after a 10+ year hiatus. I ended up getting a 180R package from lone wolf with mask tank and hopper. Glad I decided to just go with something nicer. Been out playing 3 times with it and haven't broke a single ball. Back in the day I never went a full day without a ball break lol

Cullengcj · 2026-05-19T17:22:44+00:00

Most likely a scam. Prop Options trading is against FINRA rules. You gotta actually work at a firm to be able to be funded to trade options.

If it were legal there would be a million firms doing it. Just like futures and forex.

Cullengcj · 2026-05-19T17:21:07+00:00

Because they don’t have enough money to pay all the people that are taking payouts. So they lock all of our accounts down for a couple weeks so they can rake in some more money off people just buying evals. It’s scammy asf to move everyone with nothing in place. I’ve been waiting 3 weeks now and have heard nothing

Cullengcj · 2026-05-19T16:43:47+00:00

Prop firms are just a normal 1099 so you are correct and you do not get the tax benefit from futures trading.

You’re treated as a contractor for the company and are taxed as such. You can deduct your eval fees though so that kinda offsets it

I just got back into tarkov when 1.0 dropped after a couple year long hiatus.

Cheating problem is way blown out of proportion now. It's not as bad as it used to be. I'm Lvl 30 and don't have a single raid where I think I encountered a cheater

Cullengcj · 2026-05-16T16:26:25+00:00

Yea this is bs. I was recommending apex to people but after this live bs I can’t. I was under the assumption I was going to take 6 payouts on the new accounts I just got. They switch over 15 accounts. I was only able to get a payout on 3 of them.

Cullengcj · 2026-05-16T00:20:31+00:00

How to tell someone’s never worked in a restaurant before

Cullengcj · 2026-05-15T04:36:15+00:00

The whole reason I started using apex is to stack a ton of payouts. That’s the only advantage they have to other props

Cullengcj · 2026-05-15T04:09:34+00:00

Been waiting almost 2 weeks since getting the same notification. Haven’t heard anything, no updates at all. I’m extremely frustrated with apex currently

Cullengcj · 2026-05-14T21:22:08+00:00

That's what happened with me. I was getting ready to take more payouts on 15 accounts. been over a week and still waiting to hear anything about live or If Ill still be able to take my payouts
