What’s up guys so sorry I didn’t post the recap yesterday I got tied up with some family stuff uh so I wasn’t really around towards the end of the day onto the night but uh yeah Apex has their 90% off deal um my goal is to uh you know get at least 10 accounts that are funded um but the issue is you can’t sign up for tradate accounts um you could do rhythmic Trader Pro accounts but I have funded accounts with

Bull KNX that I use rhythmic Trader Pro and they want you to delete the files and use their version so I can’t um basically I am doing the 250k challenge we’re up today and I did this is the one I passed yesterday but I can’t even upgrade it because there’s too many registrations at trade of8 and here’s my other 250 Challenge from yesterday um up I don’t know 9600 9700 bucks honestly so I probably would not do the 250 challenge anymore

Um I’m probably going to stick to 150s or 50s mostly um it’s just too much money with the draw down you basically have to do 15,000 which is over double of the draw down versus the 50k that’s almost one to one so I think um I think I’m done with these 250s I mean obviously I’ll try to pass but you know the percent of passing ratio is going to be real rough I mean this is uh this is hard it’s super

Hard I was as high as up 11,000 and um you know but the draw down is pretty tight you know it’s only 6,500 bucks from the very very top so I’m going to stick to uh 50s probably and I might sneak in a couple 150s now if they let if they open up trade ofate again where I can order accounts I will get more um I got this up a little bit so a little breathing room there 430 bucks but yeah

I’m just sitting here um waiting to get a bunch of accounts to try to pass but registration has been closed um outside of that I didn’t trade any top step yesterday because I was so busy with everything else [Music] um and currently here’s my bullox account um funded accounts are up a couple hundred bucks um I actually have another one hold on one second uh oh it’s an old uh it’s an old one so just let me just pull up the

Newest one filter here we go so basically these bottom three are all funded accounts so they’re all up a bit and one of these is actually a funded they just didn’t take it out of my account yet and then I have another one that’s over so yeah I’m just kind of uh sitting here waiting and that’s it I the only way I can get another funded account is literally by uh getting one of these other ones in funded territory basically um

So I just kind of sit here and wait wait till I get up or or probably I’m going to press probably this bottom one today or tomorrow to see if I can start getting it up because I what I don’t want is the rebuild to happen on an account that’s not in the funded territory yet so I’m just going to uh I’m just going to kind of sit here play it play these funded accounts and I’m going to push this one

Hopefully today I’d love to get this one up $7 800 today that would probably be a a good goal and then other than that um I don’t know if I can’t get any of these trade evate accounts on apex I’m probably going to trade my top steps pretty hard today top steps and bull knocks and and these um we’ll see what happens but I was hoping to get 50k accounts and basically trade 78 contracts at a time where uh you know

A normal trade would get me funded or not so that’s what where we’re at hope you guys are doing good and uh I’ll update you later today
