@Migsdascalper Banks $2,138 Apex Payout Scalping ES Ahead of FOMC
X trader @Migsdascalper posted a $2,138 Apex Trader Funding payout on September 15, 2026, extending a low-risk scalping streak on E-mini S&P 500 futures the day before an FOMC decision.
Miguel, posting on X as @Migsdascalper, shared another Apex Trader Funding payout receipt on September 15, 2026, adding $2,138 to what he described as an ongoing streak of steady, low-risk scalps on the E-mini S&P 500 futures. The payout was approved in September 2026 and came from an intraday account, according to the trader's own post.
What stands out in this update is not the size of any single trade but the discipline behind it. With an FOMC decision scheduled for the following day, Miguel deliberately kept expectations muted, targeting only a handful of points per trade and dialing risk down to protect the progress he had already banked. The trade log he shared reflects that mindset: base hits, not swings for the fences.

“That much closer to a max payout from Apex. If I get a max payout that will 10x what I paid for it.”— @Migsdascalper on X
In his post he framed the math plainly, noting that hitting a max payout at Apex would 10x what he originally paid for the evaluation, a return profile that is only possible because Apex Trader Funding offers evaluation plans starting as low as $147 for entry level account sizes. Even without a payout from a separate firm he mentioned, he calculated the Apex outcome alone would still be a 6x on his upfront cost.
The trader also floated the idea of adding another challenge account while the streak lasted, but said he would wait until Friday to decide. That patience matches the tone of the rest of the post, which repeatedly emphasized scaling risk down around known event volatility rather than pressing size into it.
Miguel tagged the update with #basehits and #daytrader alongside the $ES_F ticker, reinforcing that the strategy driving this payout is pure intraday scalping on index futures. The $2,138 approval keeps his cadence intact heading into the FOMC print and, per his own goal, moves him closer to a max payout cycle at Apex.
