A practical Apex walkthrough: EOD evaluation rules, Tradovate workflow, PA activation, safety net, 50% consistency rule, and first payout preparation.
Module outline
Before you start
You can turn Apex rules into an operating sheet before purchase, passing the eval, activating a PA, requesting a payout, or using a META discount code.
Lesson 1
Pahami akun Apex EOD sebelum mikir payout.
Apex adalah futures prop-style simulated evaluation. EOD evaluation memakai account size seperti 25K, 50K, 100K, dan 150K dengan profit target, EOD max drawdown, daily loss limit, max contracts, dan 30-day access period.
Bagian pentingnya adalah model drawdown. EOD drawdown dihitung saat market close lalu berlaku di sesi berikutnya. Daily loss limit hanya pause trading untuk sesi itu, tapi menyentuh EOD threshold membuat evaluation fail.
Untuk EOD evaluation, tidak ada minimum trading-day requirement untuk pass. Jika target tercapai dan semua rules dipatuhi, trader bisa pass lalu punya window 7 calendar days untuk aktivasi Performance Account.
Example
50K EOD evaluation punya profit target $3,000, EOD max drawdown $2,000, daily loss limit $1,000, dan 6 max contracts. Plan yang sehat tetap trading di bawah max contracts dan stop sebelum daily loss limit.
Key points
Practice checkpoint
Pilih satu account size Apex EOD. Tulis target, max drawdown, daily loss limit, max contracts, personal daily stop, dan deadline aktivasi PA.

Lesson 2
Bangun platform routine yang mencegah salah pilih account dan salah kelola order.
Apex Tradovate accounts bisa dipakai lewat Tradovate Web/Desktop/Mobile, NinjaTrader, dan TradingView ketika akses yang dibutuhkan aktif. Coupon bisa berlaku untuk Tradovate plans, tapi platform access dan subscription tetap harus dikelola benar.
Routinenya sederhana tapi ketat: confirm selected account, product, contract month, max contracts, data feed, dan order quantity sebelum setiap trade. Buka backup control surface supaya bisa flatten position, cancel resting orders, dan cek reports kalau koneksi chart freeze.
Error TradingView sering berasal dari entitlement atau connection issue. Kalau TradingView belum linked dengan benar ke Tradovate, stop dulu dan fix access sebelum kirim order dari chart.
Example
Sebelum trading NQ, trader cek Apex account selector, active contract month, order quantity, daily loss room, EOD threshold room, lalu buka Tradovate reports sebagai backup reference.
Key points
Practice checkpoint
Di simulation, latih sequence ini sekali: connect Tradovate, buka TradingView, pilih account yang benar, place satu tiny bracket order, flatten, cancel all, dan screenshot account state.
Before continuing
Lesson 3
Siapkan payout eligibility tanpa bergantung pada satu hari profit yang terlalu besar.
Apex EOD Performance Accounts saat ini mensyaratkan 5 qualifying trading days, minimum daily profit per qualifying day, minimum payout request $500, safety net compliance, dan 50% consistency. Angka pastinya tergantung account size.
Safety net adalah drawdown limit plus $100 dan harus dijaga sepanjang umur Performance Account. Hanya profit di atas safety net yang eligible untuk payout, dan minimum balance to request sudah memasukkan starting balance, safety net, dan minimum payout $500.
50% consistency berarti tidak boleh ada satu profitable trading day yang mencapai 50% atau lebih dari total profit sejak account start atau payout terakhir yang approved. Kalau satu hari terlalu besar, account tidak langsung fail, tapi payout terblokir sampai distribusinya eligible.
Example
Pada 50K EOD PA, payout table menunjukkan 5 qualifying days minimal $250, safety net $52,100, dan minimum balance to request $52,600. Jika hari terbesar $1,500, total profit perlu lebih dari $3,000 agar 50% consistency terpenuhi.
Key points
Practice checkpoint
Buat Apex payout sheet berisi account size, qualifying day target, best day, total net profit, safety net, minimum request balance, requested payout, dan post-request risk limit.
Before continuing
Fieldwork
Build a complete Apex operating sheet before purchase: account size, coupon check, evaluation rules, platform checklist, PA activation deadline, payout eligibility math, and post-request risk cap.
