Apex Trader Funding Journal - 07Jun2024

I don't have a bias for this session and the expectation is price will chop around.  The plan is to take scalps based on order flow.  As there is low liquidity, the target for each scalp can be increased, with exits based on order flow rather than pre-determined targets.

Green lines indicate winning trades.  Red lines indicate losing trades.

Trade: The trade number on this day.

DCA: Dollar Cost Average - This increases each time a trade is added to a losing trade.  As per Apex rules, this should never be greater than 1.

AIP: Add In Profit - This increases each time a trade is added to a winning trade.  This can be unlimited.

Entry: Time in UTC.

Exit: Time in UTC.

Size: The number of ES contracts traded.

Direction: Long or Short.

MAE: Maximum Adverse Excursion.  This is the maximum number of ticks the trade moved against me during the duration of the trade.  As per Apex rules, this should average less than 4 (risk) to 1 (reward).  Apex have stated that this is not a hard rule providing risk is sensibly managed.

TC: Ticks Captured.  The number of ticks captured by the trade.  A negative number indicates a loss.  To calculate the profit, multiple TC by Size.
