I must be feeling cranky today. My apologies. I should ignore this but.... With FTMO I need to make 10% then 5%. On a 50k challenge that's $5k + $2500. With Apex I need to make $3k and $2600. The daily DD is the same. With FTMO, I'll start with an ...

My personal account is a whopping $1k. Yes, that's it. Late start here. I'm probably older than you are. Even if I trade perfectly, I don't have 10 years to grow this account. I'm in the US, so *hoping* Futures prop will not get killed by CFTC. I ...

A friend funded with Topstep says there is a sale *tomorrow* on $50k accounts ($11). It was announced recently in a TopStep TV session. The catch is you must be signed up on their email to receive the code. Don't know if that is absolutely required, ...

Please, no. You really think the CFTC will also come after Futures prop because it is a similar business model to forex prop? Hoping being registered with CFTC will save them. Counting on that, to be honest. I have a dinky personal account now with ...

Glad to hear I'm not alone in the new Futures app odyssey of figuring it out. It's taking me longer (my normal) since I stink at tech. Never thought I'd say I miss MT4/5, but boy do I. Thanks for the helpful posts to *all* of you pros here who drop ...

Is this the copier that Apex sells ($150/$175) for Tradovate? Or are you using a function of Tradovate in the app? Thank you. My apologies for stupid tech questions. I swear I'd be a much better trader if tech was easy for me.

You have a full calendar month before you must cancel or pay 80% off next month.

For my Apex account ($50k Tradovate challenge) it will be $160 for lifetime fee. I only pay after I am funded. Futures is different than forex, there are data fees. The total fee paid even if I need 2 or 3 months to pass is still less than one $50k ...

I considered the trailing DD with Apex Trader Funding. I usually detest trailing DDs but made an exception. First, the challenge price is dirt cheap. If I screw up, I'm out $18.70 (price for Tradovate option $50k challenge). This pales in comparison ...

Also, it appears the Futures prop firms are already registered with our 'friends' the CFTC. Challenges at Apex when on sale are dirt cheap ($16.xx to $18.xx for 50k). They have another 90% off sale now through the 7th, I think it is. If you choose ...

I guess that is adding gasoline to the BBQ. Even FTMO offers MT4/5. Big sigh. Can't tell you how much I wish I had (could buy!) a dual passport.

I can deal with that if it happens. As long as I still have the opportunity as a US citizen to buy challenges in non-US firms to become funded and work towards building my personal account as many of you already have done. I'm fine if I'm 'stuck' ...

Agreed, it is a weird rule. I checked into it, you need 3 profitable days that are .5% or better in each phase of the challenge. Not per trade, per trading day. You likely do that or better.
