@LTL_Kenpachi Secures First $1,500 Apex Payout After 20 Blown Evals
After three months of trading, more than 20 failed evaluations, and five busted funded accounts, @LTL_Kenpachi finally posted a payout proof on X: a $1,500 withdrawal from Apex Trader Funding, approved in minutes and awaiting deposit.
Kenpachi shared the update on X on July 11, 2026, reflecting on a rough opening stretch as a futures trader. By his own count, he blew over 20 evaluations and five funded accounts before finally locking in a withdrawal. The post frames the milestone as a hard-earned first, not a lucky break, and captures the emotional weight of finally seeing green on the payout side of the ledger.
The trader reported that the $1,500 request was approved within minutes of submission, leaving only the standard wait for the deposit to arrive in his bank. Fast approval turnaround is a recurring theme in payout proofs from the community, and Kenpachi flagged it explicitly in his caption with a nod to how quickly the confirmation came back after months of grinding through resets and rule violations.
“Blew over 20 evals and 5 fundeds making the same mistakes, but we finally secured a payout.”— @LTL_Kenpachi on X
The hashtags accompanying the post point to activity across ES, NQ, MES, and MNQ, with the scraper flagging MES as the instrument tied to this particular result. Micro contracts remain a popular starting point for traders still calibrating risk, and Apex Trader Funding permits withdrawals from qualified accounts once traders meet the program requirements, which helps explain why a disciplined micro-focused session can still convert into a real payout.
The self-described journey of blown evals and funded resets is not unique in this space, but Kenpachi's post lands as a reminder that persistence, not perfection, is often what separates traders who eventually cash out from those who quit at the first drawdown. Three months in, one payout secured, and a public commitment to keep refining the same setups that finally worked.
