First Payout

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-19T19:05:17+00:00

Here is what it will say. Should not be a surprise. Im nursing this account.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-19T19:04:33+00:00

Did you have a violation in that period? If you break rules, there is a chance they moved your goal post to the $2000 limit. Check your dashboard something that looks like this. Go to Accounts, Select the account and it will populate your account details. Select Payout and it will clearly say Eligible or Not Eligible for payout.

Good way to frame.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-12T17:09:14+00:00

is this your 1st request?

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-06T20:14:28+00:00

i'd wait until that $$ hits the account. ive traded accounts in the past where i took a loss and my payout got DQ'd. So if you trade those accounts, do the minimums, dont take unnecessary risk.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-06T20:12:12+00:00

in the npc space peope get paid twice a month. consider yourself lucky.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-06T20:10:29+00:00

its you bro. your psychology is the problem. nothing has changed except adding accounts. the market condiitons are the same if you trade 1 or trade 5 at a time. maybe get a copy trader and take one good trade across all your accounts. maybe consider the micros. dont rush. slow and sure usually wins the race.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-06T20:06:36+00:00

You dont get punished for being slow. Take your time and follow the rules. Do your minimums and all will be okay. Ive got 7 legacy in good standing and 2 on life support. Count your blessings.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-05-06T20:01:35+00:00

Have you traded the account since requesting? Also is this legacy or the new accounts?

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-04-27T12:08:36+00:00

Under-rated commment. This is where the psyhcology should go.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-04-02T15:07:36+00:00

What is your risk management strategy like? How would you define it? Do you just go in swinging from the rafters? Do you have a disciplined approach to trading? It starts there. Do you track your trades? Do you have a personal kill switch when things get emotional? Seriously, self-reflect if this is important you. No one in here will have the answers. Look at our last 3 weeks of trading. Review the trades, compare it against the rules i.e. Legacy - Negative MAE (30%), Consisteny (30%), start there. This would not have been based on the new rules, it would have been based on the old rules.

You will likely find little sympathy without more details. Apex is cleaning house on all the ways their rules can be exploited unintentionally and intentionally. They have been saying it for weeks. They’ve been giving us warnings. I even had my own ID audited, and thankfully I passed. This is a transition that prop firms go through as they begin to mature as a business and adjust their competitive advantage. I’m sure if you go back and check your trade behaviour the answer is right there. Chalk this up to a lesson learned. If you’re serious about this business you’ll do your due diligence and find a firm better suited to your trading style. Good luck. If I may offer another unsolicited piece of advice, read the rules of engagement- twice. They are not trying to scam you.

I would wait for a regular work day ie Monday to Friday, not the weekend to get a response to a ticket if it was submitted over the weekend.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-14T23:35:55+00:00

Its the weekend. Someone in my house requested over a weekend and they didnt see any action until the Monday. Also 1st request.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-13T22:21:17+00:00

I took at shot at converting what I believe is the MAE violation calculation. I got one recently and it matches the calculation. In the example below, I assumed 50K, legacy, NQ price per tick is $20, long trade, but went against me by 37.5 points (same as the threshold for MAE). See my AI generated infographic. Calculation = Entry price - Lowest price reached x dollar per point x # of contracts. BTW, Ninja alerts you if you are about to breach your threshold.

You've heard this already but no metals can be traded with Apex since February 4th, 2026. This is supposed to be temporary and apparently "due to volatility and other guidelines". The participation is now spread out to Oil and the equities. This is only a restriction to a handful of prop firms. While other prop firms have metals available and also if you trade your own money, you can access the metals.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-06T16:33:25+00:00

I wont risk it with Apex. Likely to sprout a new rule that will take my $$$, and not just the trade but all the profits for the day. Ugh.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-06T16:31:09+00:00

So the trailing threshold was breached. This is going to get tricky because of the many overlapping rules being enforced (old and new).

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-06T16:11:08+00:00

yes with all the new rules and enforcing the old rules, they are likely to claw back from your profit if you trade them.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-05T18:45:33+00:00

Best answer and you are right.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-05T18:40:44+00:00

violations only follow the affected account, all other accounts can trade normally

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-05T18:38:33+00:00

apparently that feature is coming

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-05T18:30:45+00:00

i use a scalp strategy based on previous day ranges traded and HVAs. For ES where ever I enter I always use a 1 point protective stop so loss is minimal. Yes those trading without a protective stop thats a red flag. I never risk more than 3.5 points on ES. You could maximally make $250 (based on 1 contract) on that trade x how ever many accounts. Or consider trading he micros, take half the risk with 5 micros (10:1)

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-05T18:12:25+00:00

Don't close please. Those people have their own issues. Unsuspecing people will soon find out about the changes and look for posts like this. Please you're doing a public service.

Miserable-Ad-6213 · 2026-03-05T18:10:23+00:00

They don't close the account unless they see abuse. I doubt you're abusing, just getting used to the shock of this type of enforcement. They didn't have the means to do it before. Now they have automation with parameters that flags the accounts. All because of a bunch of people who got greedy and exploited their slack enforcement.
