Garrett Hayes Banks Sixth Apex Payout at $4,056.38 on $150K Account
Low leverage kept Garrett Hayes in his short through a sharp bounce, and the eventual drop delivered his sixth withdrawal from Apex Trader Funding. The $4,056.38 payout on a $1,399 evaluation fee marks a 2.9X return on the $150K Apex Challenge.
Garrett Hayes posted his sixth payout from Apex Trader Funding, pulling $4,056.38 out of a $150K Apex Challenge account. The win came from a short position that could have easily been stopped out during a sharp intraday bounce, but Garrett had sized the trade conservatively enough to ride through the noise and stay in the seat for the real move lower.
The arithmetic on this run is straightforward. Garrett paid $1,399 to take on the $150K evaluation and has now returned $4,056.38 in a single payout cycle, a 2.9X multiple on his initial outlay. That ratio is the kind of number traders chase when they weigh evaluation fees against the realistic ceiling of a funded account, and Garrett has now cleared it six separate times on this program.
“Low leverage buys you time, and time is what a good trade needs.”— Apex Trader Funding
The story Apex highlighted was less about the entry and more about the sizing. Low leverage on the short gave the trade room to breathe when price snapped against him, and when the market finally rolled over he was still positioned to collect. This fits with how the Apex payout structure is built: traders can request withdrawals as often as every eight business days once they clear the initial waiting window, which rewards consistent risk management over hero trades.
Garrett is based in the United States and trades the Apex program alongside tens of thousands of other evaluation participants worldwide. His sixth payout lands in October 2026 and continues a pattern that Apex has been showcasing on social: smaller, repeated withdrawals from traders who treat the funded account as a long term income stream rather than a one time lottery ticket.
