Mike Ray Confirms $2,000 Apex Payout and Second Withdrawal Coming
Apex trader @mike_ray19 announced on X that a $2,000 payout is landing this week and that he is now eligible for a second withdrawal on the same account, capping a streak of green months that began in April 2026.
Trader @mike_ray19 shared an update on X this week, announcing that he is now eligible for a second payout on one of his Apex Trader Funding accounts. On top of that pending milestone, he confirmed a $2,000 withdrawal from Apex is scheduled to land this week, capping off what has been a remarkably consistent run for the trader since he started working with prop firms earlier this year.
What makes the update notable is the broader context Mike shared. He revealed that in June 2026, his prop firm payouts actually exceeded what he earned from his full time job. That is a significant crossover moment for any side hustle trader, and he reached it just three months after starting to trade funded accounts in March of the same year.
“In June, I made more from prop firm payouts than I did from my full-time job and I only started trading them in March.”— @mike_ray19 on X
Mike was candid about the journey, noting that March was his only red month so far. Every month since has been green, a streak he openly admits he does not expect to last forever. That kind of measured self awareness is often what separates traders who survive long term from those who flame out chasing the same hot hand. Apex Trader Funding is known for paying out in cash via wire, ACH, or PayPal within approximately 1 to 5 business days after a request is approved, so the $2,000 he mentioned should land on the timeline he described.
The combination of a confirmed $2,000 payout plus eligibility for a second withdrawal on the same account underscores how Apex traders can stack payout cycles across multiple funded accounts. Mike's post was published on June 29, 2026, with the upcoming wire expected to arrive within the same week.
Congratulations to @mike_ray19 on the result, and best of luck keeping the green streak alive heading into July.
