Sounds like we have the same approach towards funding firms accounts. Lately I trade NQ and risk 5pts to make 5 to 10pts. I corner weak pullbacks in strong moves. Ideally I should ride winners but it's been my 4ever weakness and Apex isn't "Ride Winners" friendly Mainly because of their open equity high PnL trailing drawdown. Been trading on and off for 10yrs. First trade was on EUR/USD in 2013 I mainly trade around News @ 8.30ET or RTH open @ 9.30ET Planned to maintain only 1x the cushion in my account, But I thought about 1.5x and it's definitely better than 1x only. Especially since the stop doesn't trail past the DD + 100$ = More leverage. + We can only request a withdrawal above the DD + 100$ threshold And we might not always have profits to withdraw but ... We could withdraw a bit from the 1.5x cushion.
OP seems trading 18 accounts, a bit too much regardless how good he thinks he is, probably some sim accounts.
i'm still perplexed as to how these "prop firms" can get away with such blatantly false advertising. in any other industry, this shit would be shut down by the regulators. the "$50k account" is a $2000 account. no offense but you're not going to be "trading with +$3M in funding" as described in your title.
