Hey everyone, so I recently moved into a new place, and the LG TV that came with the unit defaults to this static television channel every time I turn it on. It blasts this noise effect as well, and I have to immediately look for the remote and mute the TV. Now, I don’t watch cable, so my utilities are only for internet. The main use of this TV is AirPlay from my computer or iPad, so I don’t understand why it constantly defaults to the static channel when I’m watching news headlines before, unless I’m not connected to AirPlay for an extended display use. It’s my third month with the problem. I don’t know how to fix it.

Is there anything I should be mindful about when using this? I chose it because it offered a free trial and I’m trying to pass two evals with apex and two evals with topstep this week. Best wishes to everyone trading this week! ✨

I don't understand. I though I met the min daily profit balance up until I ported yesterday on the globex session. What are the problems here that I need to focus on to get back on track in reaching my first payout? Thanks in advance

I woke up literally minutes before the New York Open today and got this huge relief. I’m three weeks into futures trading and still learning, but Apex has been a better experience than I thought. The DLL has significantly helped with avoiding breached accounts and has preserved 4 out of 5 of my eval accounts from being blown. I got all EOD trailing, 1 at 25k and 4 at 50k. I thought I was going to hate the DLL feature, but I’m so glad it’s there. This is my first passed evaluation with Apex and the pricing was shocking compared to Lucid (4 breached evals) and MFF (2 passed evals and 4 failed). The Apex eval costs with their promo codes right now are much more digestible and I would suggest it to other new traders than spending how I did while learning through the market action with a more costly eval account. There’s so much I still have yet to learn, and I’m not sure what the process of getting to funded or getting a payout with Apex are but I’m going to keep trying to pass my last 4 evals with the remaining Friday market sessions today and see what happens.

Feels amazing to finally cross the finish line again. I hit my second MFF 50k evaluation in just two trading days again using the Micro Nasdaq (MNQ). Ended with a 30-unit snipe on the MNQ Tokyo Open 🚀!!!

I was slightly over the 50% rule for the day (51.6%), but MFFU’s $100 lenience is a great support.

Time to move into Sim Funded and start stacking that buffer! Anyone else trading the "Hormuz Blockade" volatility? My biggest concern is the intra-day switch up, as I’ve already soft breached two apex evals this week using intra-day trailing drawdown.

This is my first month ever trading futures and I’m continuing to learn so much it’s insane how mistakes turn into lessons. I’m going to scale down and really bake this first payout into existence. All the best to everyone going through evals this week! You got this! 🔥🏁
