Just wow…
Title: Moved to LIVE after 520K profit without being able to withdraw I want to share my experience with Apex Trader Funding. After generating approximately $520,000 in profit across multiple PA accounts, I was unexpectedly transitioned to the LIVE funded program. This happened without being given the opportunity to withdraw a significant portion of the profits I had accumulated. My accounts were effectively closed during the transition process, and while I understand that firms have internal rules and risk management policies, the lack of transparency and timing of this move was very frustrating. To be clear: - The profit was generated consistently over time - I had already been requesting payouts successfully - The transition to LIVE happened before I could continue withdrawing Now I am placed in a LIVE account with a much smaller risk tolerance, which feels like a reset despite the performance achieved. I’m not saying Apex doesn’t pay — they do — but traders should be aware that: large accumulated profits do not necessarily translate into withdrawable funds if your account is moved or transitioned. I hope Apex improves transparency around this process so traders can better plan their withdrawals. I will update this review depending on how things evolve.
