Shoutout to @VestExchange for the upcoming 10% off sale by using code apple tomorrow, November 6th, 2026 between 10am - 3pm EST.
I will be doing a $200 USDC Giveaway to celebrate!
You must:
1. Follow me
2. Tag 3 friends
3. Repost
Thats it!
I will choose 4 winners: $100, $50, $25, $25 in USDC.
Since Vest came onto the scene they have been disrupting it quite a bit. As prop traders, we have been waiting for real competition that brings innovation. Also they have been very active on social media addressing any concerns. I know some people like to ask me what kind of accounts are my favorite or which ones they should get.
I personally like the following:
-$25k
-No DLL
-$2,500 PT
-$1,500 Drawdown
-80/20 Split
Of course you can customize it any way you want but if you were to peak into my dashboard, I would say I buy 90% of these accounts. If your new, lower the leverage to 10x and trade 25% at a time.
This is the perfect time to load up with the Volaility.

Firms moving like this is unacceptable. Live transition window needs to be implemented 25/48hrs after last payout or trader should be allowed to trade until next cycle @Topstep @dotjosh @MichaelPatak
Bro why you did put me to live, 1 day before payout time :((
28.000$ profit just gone for nothing….

$GOOG reports after the bell tomorrow.
Implied move is roughly +/- 6.2%.
The only Maggy 7 still near their ATH’s.
The stock can do no wrong. Just killing it. Basically up 11 straight months.
Everyone is long. And has been long. And is swimming in paper profits.
I can’t find a bear in sight.
Googled my local zoo. They replaced the bear exhibit with a bull.
It’s THAT bullish.
See where I am going with this…
The earnings and guide needs to be at least an A if not an A+ for the stock to continue to rise.
I would welcome a breather.

I did some research.
CME rules regulate order behavior, not how a firm structures internal accounts.
There is no CME rule that says capital cannot be split across multiple accounts. Funds, CTAs, and prop desks operate multi account structures every day.
Violations come from:
• wash trading
• spoofing
• self matching
• manipulative intent
• improper routing
Not from “copying trades.”
If orders are independently cleared, properly routed, and risk is managed within limits, it’s compliant. That’s standard industry practice.
Risk wise, one large account concentrates drawdown. Multiple smaller accounts compartmentalize exposure. That’s basic risk architecture used across professional trading operations.
So this isn’t a “violation” issue.
It’s a risk control and infrastructure conversation.
If i’m wrong let me know.
Took me a bunch of attempts but I am finally requesting payout with @legendsprop
Also want to make a shoutout to @fnfutures for having one of the best payout policies. Just got paid on 6x 50k Rapids for $7200. This takes my YTD to $53700 just with them! Merry Christmas!
Just submitted my payout request with @fundingticks! After the rule changes, I was able to still build up my account to over $9000 each. Requesting 50% with the new 80/20 rule. Would love to see this hit the bank for Christmas! @Khldfx
Good news! @fundingticks just paid! Thank you @Khldfx and Merry Christmas yall! Hopefully they will do right by traders and find common ground on the new rules!

+$1,000,000 in total payouts secured YTD with Futures Prop Firms.
As of December 23, 2025, I’ve officially crossed $1,000,000 in payouts for the year with over 100 payouts.
My 2024 total payouts from prop firms was $110k.
My 2025 goal was set at $200k.
95% of this was through Tradovate.
5% was through ProjectX.
I do not use a third-party copier. Just good old Tradovate to copy trade per prop firm with many tabs open.
I'm sharing this to inspire other part-time traders. I trade exclusively between 5-7am PST before getting the kids up and heading to work. I don't plan on going full-time because honestly, I think I'd see diminishing returns.
This isn’t a flex. It’s the result of showing up every day and grinding through more than 100 payouts. I started futures prop trading in May 2024 after a friend introduced me. Seeing green P&Ls on X got me hooked. The concept clicked: use firm capital as leverage, and the risk of ruin is way lower than SPX trading where you can crush for 2 months then blow up in days. Then you quickly learn that Sim Environment to payout is the play.
Full transparency on my payouts (attached). Without Apex, I wouldn't have hit the million-dollar mark. Love it or hate it, Apex lets you scale to 20 accounts. I went uncapped twice. In case you think I got lucky once, I did it again months later.
Shoutouts to some of the best traders I've met that understand how to trade props: @FarmforAnswers, @OkalaNQT, @TraderYush, @ForexIke.
For order flow education, follow @RIPS and @cammycapitalYT.
For ICT concepts, follow @traderkane and @thebrianstonk.
For finance/stock content, check out @Mr_Derivatives.
To those still struggling: keep experimenting with what strategy clicks for you. We live in a time where people are literally live-streaming on YouTube and you can learn the WHY behind their trades. All the learning material you need is free on YouTube. We're not trading for hedge funds. You don't need to trade like the pros. I'm a demo retail trader who trades in a Sim Enviornment that learned how to get payouts. If I can do it while learning how to trade with toddlers who wake me up 3 times a night, then you can do it too.
Shoutout to @prop_flow for their payout tracking tool. I'm not affiliated with them, but you can connect to Plaid and it tracks all your payouts and puts it in a nice graphic like the one I attached.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone.

This is worse than retroactive rule changes.
FundingTicks is deleting profitable days from funded traders and changing core rules on existing accounts.
That is unacceptable. Period.
You do not get to:
• Change profit splits
• Change trade holding times
• Change required profitable days
• And then apply it to accounts that already earned those days
That is not “risk management.”
That is moving the goalposts after the game started.
Let’s talk about this 1-minute scalping rule, because it is detached from reality.
NQ regularly moves 10–12 points in under a minute.
That is $200–$240 on ONE mini.
That is 10% of the drawdown.
WHY would a disciplined trader not book that?
Punishing traders for taking clean, high-quality, fast profits makes zero sense.
You are not filtering gamblers.
You are punishing competence.
If these changes were truly necessary, you should have:
• Run polls
• Asked funded traders
• Collected public feedback
• Not made too good to be true rules in the first place
Instead, rules were dropped and applied retroactively.
That kills trust instantly.
FundingTicks, you had one of the best rule sets in the industry.
Balanced. Fair. Competitive.
Now?
You are actively pushing traders away.
Why would anyone choose a firm that:
• Deletes earned profit days
• Penalizes smart execution
• Changes rules mid-stream
You had the best of everyone.
Right now, you are racing toward the worst.
This can still be fixed.
Reinstate the old rules for existing accounts.
Grandfather funded traders.
Ask your community before making drastic changes.
Trust is the product in this industry.
Once it is gone, so are the traders.
1 minute rule change at @fundingticks is insane! Any NQ trader knows if you trade 1-2 contracts, you can easily hit your targets in a few seconds. And its retroactive to all previous trades?? @Khldfx needs to answer for this.

Please move me to live, retire my accounts and pay me, whatever, but just ghosting traders and changing the rules is pretty F-ed.
Story
@ApexTradeFund
I have a PA at 131 Days and another at 108. That right there is enough to say I am not trying to game the system and cycle accounts.
I’ve been trading with Apex for four years. Had minimal problems.
Everything was running smoothly until I requested a payout on 4.27 and was unexpectedly denied due to an “account investigation.” (yes, this has been going on since 4.27)
I immediately contacted compliance for clarification; my emails went unanswered.
When I finally received a response, I was asked to recap hundreds of trades across eight trading days. I had no issue complying — I went above and beyond, submitting over 300 screenshots and detailed trade summaries to ensure everything was documented properly. During the 30-day investigation period, I was told to continue trading “as normal,” but I was not permitted to request any payouts. I complied fully and completed the period without issue.
Shortly after that, I received the “Evaluation Ban / Move to Live” email. Again — no problem. I continued to follow every instruction.
A week later, I was approved for a 2k payout ok good..
2 days Later I was put on probation. At that point, I had approximately $80,000 in accumulated profits across both PAs. Under probation rules, none of those funds could be withdrawn. Only new profits, capped at $2,000 per payout, were eligible. Uncapped is now off the table.
I accepted those terms and completed the full 90-day probation period, following every rule outlined. Since then, I’ve reached out to compliance multiple times and submitted several support tickets — yet I have not received any update or resolution. The last week logged into my accounts to see the “probation rules” were updated. My 90 days probation was now changed to “minimum of 90 days”…
I have reached out to compliance several times, and opened numerous tickets. I have received NO answers.
After four years of loyalty and transparency, it’s disappointing to find myself in this situation. I’m simply seeking fairness, clarity, and the professionalism that I’ve always tried to uphold in my trading journey. @ApexTradeFund can you please make this right?
FinX bros can you help me, I think their inbox is full...
