Third payout, still reliable

My first YM trade went through on Rithmic without any setup headaches. I'd put Apex Capital near the top of my list of funded programs.

No regrets at all

Setting up my $75k challenge felt almost too easy. I cleared the evaluation on a $150k account without any weird surprises. I walked away with $4,392 and a strong sense that the fee was fair.

Payouts fine, support slow

My $75k account tracked prices closely most of the time, with a few moments that made me squint at the screen. When the scaling increase finally came, it was smaller than I'd hoped. The checkout flow was smooth enough, though I had to retype my address twice.

Dashboard is fine, setup less so

It was fine to begin with, and the rough edges only showed up once I looked closely. The live drawdown tracker on the dashboard helps, even if the rules behind it could be explained better. Support told me payouts are reviewed manually, which explains the wait but not why it varies so much.
