 📢 APEX 3.0 Update – PA Trading Rules EXPLAINED

These new rules apply ONLY to PA Accounts (NOT Evaluation Accounts).

🚀 What’s New?

• We’ve eliminated a ton of rules!
• Instead of pages of guidelines, we’ve simplified everything.
• It all boils down to one thing: Risk Management.
• Manage risk well, and you’re free to trade your strategy or system!

🛑 Rules We’ve Removed:

• ❌ No more flipping rule
• ❌ No more DCA rule – You can now DCA
• ❌ No bracket breakout restrictions
• ❌ No morning open trade restrictions
• ❌ No more news restrictions (Just don’t go long and short at the same time)
• ❌ Bots, auto strategies allowed – just man them, don’t set and forget

📊 Apex “Contract Scaling” Rules:

🔹 Half contracts until trailing threshold is reached:

• Example: On a $50k account, max of 10 full contracts (100 micros)
• Under the scaling rule: Trade 5 full contracts (50 micros) until you reach $52,600
• Once past the trailing threshold, full contracts allowed!
• Minor contract overages? No problem! Just close out extras—don’t abuse it.

⚖️ Risk Management Guidelines:

• 5:1 risk-to-reward ratio (previously 4:1)
Example: Don’t risk more than $500 to make $100
• 30% Negative PnL Limit:
• Do not let your live, unrealized, open PnL exceed 30% of your start-of-day profit
• Example: If you start with $10k profit, don’t risk more than $3k in a trade
• If your account falls below the safety net, use 30% of the trailing threshold

🧮 Examples of 30% Limits:

• • $50k Account → Start with $750 max pullback
• • Profit grows to $53k → 30% of $3k = $900
• • Profit grows to $54k → 30% of $4k = $1,200

Simple rule: Use the greater of 30% of your original trail threshold or 30% of your profit.

📝 Important Reminders:

• • This is NOT a daily loss limit.
• • Accounts are NOT stopped or failed if the 30% limit is hit.
• • You won’t be placed on probation or denied payouts.
• • Go up to the 30% limit all day, every day – just don’t cross it and stay there!

Let’s keep things simple:

• In your first days under the Trailing Threshold, use 30% of the original amount:
• $25k Account → $450
• $50k Account → $750
• $75k Account → $825
• $100k Account → $900
• $150k Account → $1,500
• $250k Account → $1,950
• $300k Account → $2,250

Once you’ve doubled your safety net, you can increase to 50% for more flexibility!
