Of course the payout is legit. But this legit payout is used as marketing to try and reverse the downward trend in their revenue.
It's quite possible it's legitimate. My theory is that Apex needs to pay these trading influencers to keep the dream alive and keep selling subscriptions. It's much easier to deny the common man a payout. It's also possible that there's some kind of co-operation going on. See? It's all about selling the dream to fresh meat. Those who make a ton of money in this industry are those who provide infrastructure, sell services and so on. Success in actual trading is for the very, very few. By the time a green as hell newbie realizes that he already parted with thousands of dollars.
What could add to the conspiracy is that I saw this trading influencer badmouth Topstep (main competitor) complaining about a payout not coming on Twitter. Makes you wonder...
Several weeks back folks were whining about a change of rules (APEX) whereas they would have to submit videos of themselves trading..
Starting to stink a bit? LOL. I also picked up that there's another influencer who can't trade to save his life and is also allegedly sponsored by Apex. These guys all have their affiliate links on the top of their pages skimming some change every time some fresh meat buys a subscription. Could be paid a ton underneath the table for all we know. As we saw on the MyForexFunds (right name?) there's a HUGE amount of money in selling subscriptions on these programs. It's a jungle out there...
Awesome for the trader Kane. Good work!!! I LOVE this. Apex is real, I made like $4000 from Apex within a year. I have never had an issue with them. They did have some data connection issues back in May and had some rules changes lately. but no real issue with Apex.
