@yasotrades Books $2,252 Apex Payout After a Stressful Session
Trader @yasotrades shared a $2,252 Apex Trader Funding payout approved in October 2026, posted alongside a stressful session that still closed +$3,670 across a combined Apex and Lucid account book.
Trader @yasotrades posted a public update on X dated October 26, 2026, stating the day finished +$3,670 across all accounts, broken down as $452 across five Apex accounts and $282 across five Lucid accounts. The trader described the session as stressful, noting that price action during the first thirty minutes of the market open was difficult to read and set a messy tone for the rest of the morning.
According to the post, the first short was a reasonable setup that ended up getting stopped at breakeven fairly quickly. The second trade was flagged by the trader as a forced entry with no real reason behind it, and that mistake carried a cost: the loss did not break the funded accounts but it did damage the evaluation accounts running in parallel. After that, the trader stepped aside on the long side, mentioning that caution following the loss meant missing the longs entirely.
“Lost on my evals though from that second short play, but green across all the funded accounts.”— @yasotrades on X
To close the session green, the trader took one more short for roughly a 1.5R gain, enough to secure a winning day across the funded book. In the same update, @yasotrades noted that one more winning day would lock in a max payout on the Apex accounts, with two more green days needed on the Lucid side. The $2,252 payout attached to this proof, approved in October 2026, lines up with that progression and reflects consistent withdrawals rather than a one off result. Apex Trader Funding advertises up to a 100% payout split on profits earned in funded PA accounts, which is the structure traders typically reference when planning payout cadence like this.
The post is notable less for the dollar figure and more for the discipline shown around the forced second entry. Taking a measured 1.5R short to repair the day, rather than revenge trading into size, is the kind of behavior that keeps funded accounts alive long enough to compound. The split outcome, green on funded accounts and red on evaluations, is a useful reminder that risk settings and emotional state do not reset between accounts just because the labels do.
