don't hold me to it, but looks like apex is going to reset negative balances again today...... meaning negative balances for the 7 /16/24 new york close......
apex said tradovate trades will be halted for several hours after the markets opening..... this so they can make good on the resetting of accounts.....h

No doubt. MT4 is the goat. Still dumbfounded that they couldn’t have made it 64 bit, handle futures feeds, etc. Rather push MT5 which in comparison is still a heaping pile of dog .

They actually did convert MT4 to 64-bit last year. 32-bit installers stopped working on January 1, 2024.

Had no issues at all today with apex on rithmic.

Not sure either regarding futures and MT4. I trade futures on MT5 wherever possible (amp and Darwinex). I use rithmic feed with quantower for my apex accounts. Haven't done so yet, but my understanding is I can have Topstep, TakeProfit, etc and copy all within quantower.

it seems so random...... one thing that has me concerned is in group trading...... some accounts might get orders rejected and others go thru......

then when you go to close sells as a group, it can place a buy on the account that had the sell rejected......

this has happened to me twice lately and i never new the buy was there...... which of course violates the same direction rule.....

closed it for a loss as soon as i noticed it...... hopefully apex will understand....

now i watch all accounts open p/l constantly..... if one is different i look to see why......h

You're lucky pm77, the Spaniards can't though I see. Interesting how they can't with the spanish firm and I cant with AXI an Aussie firm. Weird.

Did you pay the sign up fee at inception or is that after going to silver?

How many months are needed from the calibration phase and the silver phase until allocation? 2 months?

Yes, on quantower, there is a positions tab and a working orders tab. I always check when entering at market or if a limit order gets triggered. I do the same when they close...check to be sure all working orders were cancelled. It is a PITA, but what can you do.

So you pay to start calibration and then same date every month. I (unintentionally) started like 2nd week of June, so got lucky the 15 days ended end of month and my DarwinIA was created right on July 1 giving me a full month to max out my rating and get higher allocation.
Silver starts when DarwinIA is created after 15 day calibration. DarwinIA is only created on Mondays. However, if your 15 days is up on a Tuesday, you may trade and it will all all count towards your DarwinIA quote
If you end calibration towards end of month, not as much time to get the rating to minimum 75 before end of that month as Silver and Gold run on calendar months regardeless of when you start.
However, with that being said, you could have an extra week and the entire following month or you could have a great 1 week or perhaps your score was good from calibration as that all counts as well.

So Silver and Gold run on calendar months. As stated above, I luckily started 2nd week of June, so 15 days lined up with end of month. This gives me all of July to max out rating and allocation. I will get allocation end of month so I begin earning in August. Each allocation lasts 3 months and you can manage 3 simultaneously.
So, for example, you qualify for 30k euro each month, by 4th month you are actually managing 90k euro. I believe, 8th month, you qualify for gold and these allocations last 6 months and you are opened up to investors for additional capital.
It is a long term project, but I'm pretty confident I can hit 4% monthly, which should lead to 100K euro, so I'm planning on managing 300K euro by 4th month. Once gold, if I can keep DD under control, I would imagine I would see some investor interest as well.

No worries, thanks for the clear explanation. Much appreciated. Will do a zero soon, by month end most likely. Will keep that Monday creation rule in mind.
Cheers...

Here is an example of the top silver, he is projected to get 375K euro this month (until I take him out). He got 375k in May and 65k last month, so he currently is managing 440K euro, if he stays number 1 this month, he will manage 815K euro in August.
