I really need to get my head back in the game. I tried to learn the ICT concepts that are all over YouTube. The concept of Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps really make a lot of sense. But, when it comes down to it, there’s a lot of ambiguity! The bottom line is I’ve […]
Apex Trader Funding went through a tough patch in June. Their growth was so accelerated that they decided they needed a dedicated server with Rythmic. I applaud the effort, but the implementation was difficult and error prone. I still hear complaints of lag and difficulty exiting trades. Don’t get me wrong, I still think Apex

I had a shower thought this morning… When I’m in a losing trade, I tend to hold on to that trade with the hope that it’ll come back. I guess that makes me normal, but what is the real story? The epiphany is holding on or not is we’re not talking about what is already

After reviewing my losses over the last couple of weeks, I’ve realized my worst days are bear days. That is, I suck at trading when the market drops! I guess I’m an optimist at heart – but that is not good when trading! So… I’ve decided to create an account that ONLY trades in the

I do most of my trading with Apex Trader Funding. I’ve been a member of Apex Investing for a few years and, when they opened their own prop firm, I decided to give them a try. Overall, I find them to be an excellent prop firm and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
I’ve been dabbling (ok, more than dabbling) in prop firm futures trading for a couple of years, now. I’ve had some success, but have consistently lost money. Every time I blow an account, I get down on myself for being so stupid. I mean, I have like an 80% success rate for my trades. But,
