{quote} Mine got denied for valid reason but waiting for 3 weeks to know that is bollocks. I had 2 payouts previously. Monty is constant revenue for Apex they will never lose him. Have you got more than the threshhold payout after 4 months? Just curious.
I'm unlimited with 20 50Ks, however my biggest payouts were when I was still limited at the 40K max (2K x 20). I use to leave 30% to further compound every payout period, but I pretty much take all profits >52.6K now. I'm always <40K per payout cycle.

{quote} I think it's just APEX basically forcing you to opt for the lifetime PA fee instead of the cheaper monthly fee. Just like an insurance company. Get those premiums, then delay any payouts as long as possible. APEX is on the shelf for the time being for me. 3 weeks to get paid is unacceptable. If they can do better, I'll try them again at that point
Exactly, I am hesitating to trade or not to trade. If I continue to trade before approval, which is about ten days, I might even go under and forfeit all the profit withdrawal. Really make no sense.

NO.1 rule is play within the rules.... THats what APEx expects you follow they pay you... IF you leave a minute chance of denial you'be smoked but the best part is they still let you keep the profits and only thing is you gonna miss the payout cycle......

I am still waiting for someone who followed all the rules and got denied. Then only i can start losing my faith in them

Anyone want to get paid with apex do this ---> this worked for me 1. Never DCA (only add once with same size i do most of the times) 2. Keep the Risk:Reward 3:1 or above (mine is 1:1.5 or something) 3. Dont stop trading keep building the account even its in payout process....

Man i am kinda a nightmare if i compare to Forex prop firms ---

In last 3-4 months only when i switched to futures

1. Yes i spend more on evals - i am at 317 = 317x25 = 7925$ (just averaging out should be less than that)
2. PA at no. 89 - 150x89 = 13350$
Total spent - 21275$

Total PAyout. - 100k +/-

thats 400% in 4 months thats amazing result for me

Except money - what apex helped me with is the trading improvement as trailing threshold is so hard so improved my sniper entries. Those forced rules added to my consistency improved to god level..... I have a screenshot of level of consistency which make me feel proud as trading day in n day out and being consistent within a range.....

I remember i use to lose all hard work building a account one bad day risking and degenerate mode. So now you guys wont see me post and crying about my STUPIDITY.

I salute your honesty Monty.
Hard to see nowadays. I agree that apex rules made me as a better trader as well.
46 trading days made 90k profits in 2 PA accounts all went well until they denied my recent request. Lost my grip blown 1 yesterday and another down 25k while waiting for another approval.
So yeah, we all are very different folks.

Another PA less wild p/l swing waiting for 1st approval if that works out I will buy another 20 evl and keep low risk profile.
on a postive roll...

{quote} Hi hayseed, Thank you for that list. That just seems to be a small list considering the amount of forex pairs available for trading. Are you in an evaluation with DarwinX Zero? If so, are you satisfied with their program? Thank you, my friend, for your response.
//-----

hey ace..... yes in the futures evaluation phase..... but it might take me a month due to other things happening at the moment.....

yes, im satisfied with the program.....really there's not much to be dissatisfied with..... i just trade for the fun of it anyway.....

you can have multiple accounts, but only 1 per username and email address...... i can see me at some point setting up another account to trade stocks/etfs...... there are more inefficient market type opportunities in stocks.....

personally, the high points are the low monthly fee and the ability to use metatrader 5...... most people, me included, will enjoy not have to deal with all those counter productive rules so many popular prop firms have.....

might be overlooking some bad points...... have a habit of focusing on the good......h

it varies... sometimes it's approved 1 day after request but it can be last day of cycle. Sent by 15th or 30th/31st but can be a couple days late, hits bank 3-7d later. Payout efficiency is their weakness, but I think it's purposeful & strategic like it was with TFT.

Very late for me, but no denials (yet). I trade half my PA's, then other half while waiting.

{quote} 15 to 20 lots Yes, at least after knowing this, we can criticize Darwinex by saying that the risk limitation should be reasonable. Let's say it should not exceed 0.3%, but that doesn't mean cutting it down further into 7 or 12 additional parts. Trading 0.04% 100 times is no longer funny just to get 4%.
Here is the risk control overview by Darwinex. Simply put, if you open a 0.99 lot trade with a 55 pips stop-loss (dollar per pip $6.52) or around 0.33%, Darwinex will adjust and open the trade to only 0.12 lot or approximately 0.04%. Risk control varies for all traders, but it is clear that the practice of overleveraging is being eradicated by Darwinex. I received the most severe risk control penalty because I was the most overleveraged. Now how many trades should be accomplished for 5.95% target a month? 149 profit trades. The VAR model is not better at managing risk compared to the fixed model.

Looking at this c++ developer at nexusfi forum he keeps posting new vids there to satisfy apex in hopes of getting approved after having supposedly 70k in payouts for half a year now suddenly they stopped to approve it. Ive watched all of his videos and I do think at least in his case its about HFT claim. Some trades he do lasts just few seconds if even that. But thats also the reality now the algobots trade in nanoseconds behinds the scenes so claiming he does HFT or such with just 2-5 seconds trading is odd. But from prop firm stand point one might be able to understand it.

The futures market is obviously changing slightly as the algobots take over it more and more and thus into lower TimeFrames "seconds" for some to feel they got an edge trading.

My wife account doing very well. {image}
Nice profit but with a 13% drawdown it's likely that once the Darwin Index is created she will find out that her profit will be much lower and that her risk adjustment factor will also be much lower than 1.0

Like Roelsmajor. His account was at 103K on the platform but was at 98,800 when the Index was created due to the risk reduction factor.

If your wife stays at 113K until the end of the calibration phase I highly doubt that her Index will be 113.

Let's face it. If you are in a 13K drawdown then either the trader overleveraged or their trading system sucks. Even risking 0.5% per trade (which is too much in my opinion for this model) you'd have to lose 26 trades in a row to get to a 13% drawdown. Which mean the system is bad. That's probably not what happened though.

Keep us posted when she gets her Darwin Index. The more we see it, the more we get how the DZero model works.

Maybe you're right but I can't think of in a single reason for the internal approval (which is the majority of the wasted time) to take more for international traders than for US one.

Maybe those guys don't have so many trades as you to be "verified" ?
