I'm still waiting for my 1st payout to deposit and be able to re-invest/scale, but I guess Apex can have several days of processing time + bank processing time, so trying to be patient and still believe it's real. I'll really be hyped after it finally deposits!
For reference, I only learned about prop firms this year after finding this group and going through the classroom material. I bought my first prop account trial ever on May 11 and did burn through a few accounts learning lessons the hard way, but once I calmed down, I was able to end up with two passed evaluations and a first payout approval by June 4. For the second account and second payout on the first account, I tried to hit the max payout limit and got these payouts approved on June 12. I was a little short from the max payout on one, but I'm OK with that.
