What’s going on Traders so there’s been a lot of talk about different prop firms what’s expensive what’s not expensive which one to use and I’m just going to do a quick recap of takeprofit Trader Apex and TOP Step if you’re looking to get any one of these accounts there’s discount codes in the description of this video uh take profit Trader use coupon code Cove Trader get 40% off plus no activation fee um top step is running a deal currently links in

The description and they have a deal on 100K accounts um and Apex has a deal on 150 250 and 300K accounts if you pass the activation fee for those accounts are $85 one time lifetime um so depending on how often how many accounts it takes for you to pass I kind of just did this real quick and I did this because a lot of people were saying takeprofit Trader is so expensive but it depends on how many accounts it kind of

Takes you to pass you know like one in two accounts it’s literally cheaper than TOP Step um and you get paid on day one and it’s only $20 more expensive than Apex and you get paid on day one but as it takes you more times to pass it obviously slowly gets more expensive than the rest uh one in five um you know it’s $500 compared to 290 in Apex and 394 and TOP Step um and when it comes to rules takeprofit

Trader and TOP Step is very uh similar you know they have the daily loss limit of a $1,000 in TOP Step $1,100 in take profit Trader um Apex is uh it has a trailing draw down intraday so you know it’s it’s definitely different um let me see what else we got going on so yeah so this is the 50k account I haven’t done the numbers on the 100 or the uh 250s or 300s I’m just kind of sticking to the 50s

Because that’s the most popular option um but you know I just wanted to run it down to kind of give somebody a visual on on the accounts I’m going after a takeprofit Trader account now um you could see here’s my here it is today I was up 285 after taking a bath yesterday um you know so it’s it’s working up there I I got really worried I almost hit the freaking Deli loss limit yesterday which would have killed the whole ENC

Account I I didn’t hit it and basically um just working back up I’m just going to work it back up every day but I needed a decent day back up but I want to take this because once you’re funded first of all there’s no activation fee and once you’re funding I could take out money every single day so I can once I passed the buffer I could just hit withdraw the next day I’m up 500 bucks withdraw up another 500 bucks

Withdraw so it’s very appealing to me this is the first account I’ve had in a while here so I’m kind of taking it slow I have all month they are expensive so that’s why I’m kind of taking my time and um you know let’s see what happens but I I do like take profit Trader I know they pay people I know they pay fast so that’s kind of why I’ve been um I’ve been kind of pushing myself on using them top

Step’s another one I’m trying to get funded on I had a pretty decent day there I’m up 5117 um just kind of pushing these because you can get paid TOP Step is you get paid in five days so basically I’ll trade all three like I have accounts in all three so I’ll trade apacks but I’m not pushing it being like Oh I need to get paid because I know I’ll get paid by the these and then once my withdrawal window comes

Up I’ll just request my money in Apex and it is what it is um but I know the other ones can pay me either every day or every couple days so it’s a just a diversify I guess my accounts um we’re making money every day which is great and by the way if you want come join the stream we’re on every day uh around 1:30 2 o’clock in the afternoon to the end of uh trading time but yeah it’s uh th

That’s kind of my you know my rundown on the three accounts with the money so you can visually see how much it costs to get funded and uh you know it all depends on how uh where you are in this are you a one and two are you a one and five for Pass rates and if you’re any higher than one in five I mean you know Apex or bull KN you you know but I think if you’re over one in

Five you should probably look at your strategy a little bit and uh kind of uh I don’t know work on tweak some things because you should be passing evals in at least one in five accounts so if you’re not tweak it come on the stream ask questions I’ll try to help you out and um but yeah those are the numbers on a 50k account if you have any questions or comments just comment on the video and I will get right back
