I've received the same letter and immediately got denied the payout request on the ground of 'probation status'

[FocusedFTG]

I just got denied and got this exact email a red flag for sure !!!

I found this message on youtube:
APEX is facing cash flow problems and has resorted to scamming its customers - simple. Second red flag: obnoxious customer service staff who don’t even know the basics of managing customers. Thirdly, there are far BETTER prop firms out there today. APEX’s ‘20 accounts’ USP is outdated now. APEX showing all the classic signs of a firm facing cash flow issues: aggressively push ‘80% discounts’ on eval accounts and actively mass deny payouts for traders.

I have ONE account with APEX, I'm not a creator. But another youtuber posted that there are people who are using exploits to game the system and it's cost APEX a lot of money to pay them out. That's why they aren't allowing trades on certain CME products such as bonds. It really shouldn't be a problem being transferred to a LIVE account as that should be the goal anyway.

Thanks for this video. I will not be buying anymore Apex evals. Their rules are ridiculous

[MaxwellJackson]

Anyone trading Apex accounts are 3 things. 1. An affiliate, 2. Greedy and 3. Ignorant! Been there done that and no more.

[PropTraderz]

I am funded with them. I didn't had any problems . Following the rules

[Twon]

I think more props will follow this model as more traders get payouts in demo. I completely understand why they would do this. It's not feasible long term to keep paying people in demo. They are essentially banning everyone who can't be consistently profitable. It doesn't make much sense long term though because eventually everyone who gets a payout but then blows their account and then gets this email will most likey blow their live account if they get one and be banned. So once everyone is banned where do the new customers come from? Interesting times.

Just stay around 5 more days so I can pull this 76k out of my 50k account that’s now sitting at 126k

[charleschapman]

Non live funded accounts are a liability and the CME is pushing for "Live" accounts to differentiate prop firms from defacto "bucket shops."

[DinJing]

Of course they want gamblers. They just banned the most consistent traders they had, the bond traders.

Apex' problem is that they are hopeless at communication

[ThaRealERAQ]

they need to basically like you said let them go live from the beginning and then if apex tries to copy the trades and they dont work out then tell the trader their style of trading is not profitable for apex and if it does not change then they will just cut them off. Also ban generic bots that have the same settings as other traders using the same bot. multiple traders using the same bot would not give them an edge in the market.

[nizarama]

With the 1 day pass and 10 contrats on the 50k account, it's stupid to not gamble it. 1) Because you gain time. 2) It's better to pass the challenge in 1 trade with max contrats so the Trailling DD does really affect you.

[kaanuki]

Who are they sending this message to? There have been some users who were scamming prop firms with Bond trading manipulation. Could this be who they're targeting with these emails?

[smith]

I just had a payout denied on this latest round. Before then I never had any issues with over 10 other withdraws. I think there are some real issues at apex now.

[watchmen]

Has anyone had apex cancel there account? Some how mine was cancelled and they said i cancelled 2 weeks aga when i was trading with them yesterday

[DarkDes]

I don't see the issue with just putting profitable traders into live accounts. Just make the buffer higher for those live accounts. Currently we are paying massive commissions for trades that are simulated and not even sent to the market. I think Apex is making most of its money on fake commissions for simualted trades.

[FuturesSith]

this doesnt seem too red flaggy to me. they are trying to get consistent profitable traders. if you keep blowing PA accounts then at some point they cant afford to keep paying out just to see the account blown.

[danad]

Not addressing them by name at the top of the letter is also a red flag.
