Dom1984 Confirms a Fresh $1,200 Apex Payout After an ES Session
Trader @dom1984 posted on X that Apex Trader Funding approved another payout, capping a session he described as choppy until the news, where he booked a win on an ES short but admitted to fumbling part of the move.
In a post dated May 19, 2026, @dom1984 walked followers through his day on the E mini S and P 500 futures, noting that price action was choppy until the scheduled news release. He stated that he took what he called a very good ES short off of the Opening Range Breakout midpoint, then candidly admitted he fumbled the trade rather than letting it run.
Despite the imperfect execution, the trader framed the outcome with a familiar discipline. A win is a win, he wrote, adding that he intends to execute better the next session and acknowledging that he should have left the desk earlier, as previously discussed with a fellow trader. That self review tone is a recurring theme in his timeline and sits alongside the payout announcement itself.

Attached to the same post is confirmation that Apex Trader Funding approved another payout, this one for $1,200, processed in May 2026. The certificate image shared by the trader serves as the proof point for the announcement. Apex operates on an evaluation to funded model, and once a trader clears the objectives, payouts on funded accounts can be requested on a recurring cadence with up to a 100 percent profit split on initial withdrawals under the program tiers Apex publishes.
The post does not disclose the account size tied to this specific withdrawal, and the trader did not break down the session profit and loss beyond the ES short reference. What is documented is the instrument, ES, the approval month, and the dollar figure, all of which line up with the certificate he attached to the tweet.
For readers tracking real payout proofs across the prop firm space, @dom1984's update is a straightforward data point: a funded trader, a named instrument, a stated dollar amount, and a public approval notice from Apex, all delivered in the same breath as a candid critique of his own execution.
