@krabstradez Logs +$800 on Apex Evaluation With BlazeProps AI Bot
Five months of quiet development, ten-plus blown evaluations, and one orderflow rebuild later, trader @krabstradez says his AI prop firm bot BlazeProps is now sitting +$800 on a live Apex Trader Funding evaluation, and he's documenting every step.
Trader @krabstradez took to X on Monday, May 11 to share an unusual kind of progress update. Instead of a flashy payout screenshot, the post documents the early performance of BlazeProps, a personal AI trading bot project that has been five months in the making. The bot is currently running on an Apex Trader Funding evaluation and sitting at +$800 in prop money, a milestone the trader described as a HUGE step forward after months of iterative debugging.
According to the post, BlazeProps is designed to operate in two distinct phases. Phase one focuses on passing prop firm evaluations as quickly as possible, while phase two shifts gears toward de-risking on funded accounts and methodically running up the balance while staying inside the firm's payout rules. The trader noted that Apex is among the firms that explicitly allow automated systems like this, alongside Topstep, Tradeify, and Take Profit Trader.
“After fixing the bugs and integrating Onlyticks v2 this past weekend, the bot is currently up +$800 on an apex evaluation. That alone is a HUGE step forward.”— @krabstradez on X
The engine behind the bot is what @krabstradez calls Onlyticks v2, an orderflow-only version of the discretionary model they have been refining publicly. The trader admitted that some original entry criteria had to be reworked so the bot could understand and execute the logic consistently. That rebuild is also why recent content from the account has leaned heavily into orderflow concepts. Apex Trader Funding has been a prominent destination for traders pursuing this kind of systematic approach, and the firm has paid out more than $1 billion to its community since launching its program, making it a natural testbed for long-horizon projects like BlazeProps.
Transparency is central to the update. The trader openly stated that the bot has blown 10+ evaluations during development due to data feed delays, bugs, or the system misreading the strategy. The best prior run reached roughly $2,000 in profit on a 50K evaluation while risking $250 per trade, ending at a $52,100 balance before issues surfaced. After integrating Onlyticks v2 this past weekend and fixing the outstanding bugs, the current Apex evaluation is showing the kind of consistent directional bias and disciplined risk management the trader has been chasing.
Looking ahead, @krabstradez plans to keep dialing in entries and work toward letting BlazeProps self-improve while developing its own discretion. The +$800 figure is still an in-progress evaluation result rather than a withdrawn payout, but the trader committed to posting updates publicly, wins and losses alike. For followers watching the slow build of an AI prop firm bot in real time, this checkpoint marks the moment the project finally started behaving the way its creator intended.
