Why a dedicated Apex tracker
Apex Trader Funding is the biggest futures prop firm in the world. Its rules — especially trailing MDD — are punishing if you don't understand them. One miscalculation and the account is gone. Jornalo knows each rule: it computes trailing MDD from intraday high balance, respects DLL as a fixed percentage and shows how much is left to profit target in real time. NinjaTrader sync is automatic, so you focus on trading and not on calculating.
Apex-specific features
Automatic detection of 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K
Jornalo recognizes accounts by prefix (APEX, PA-APEX) and starting balance, and applies evaluation or PA rules accordingly.
Apex-style trailing MDD
We compute trailing Maximum Drawdown from intraday high balance, matching Apex's dashboard. You see your buffer in dollars and percent in real time.
Daily Loss Limit by size
DLL configured per account size (25K, 50K, 100K, 150K). Visual alert when you approach the daily limit.
Profit target and evaluation progress
Progress bar to the evaluation profit target. Once you move to PA, tracking resets to match Apex's logic.
Multiple Apex accounts in one dashboard
Multiple evaluations or PAs are shown in a single panel with consolidated balance, status and progress.
Rithmic and PA Rithmic sync
Compatible with Rithmic (evaluation) and PA Rithmic (funded account). Auto-detection by account ID and broker symbol.
Apex and Jornalo FAQ
How does Jornalo compute Apex trailing MDD?
We compute trailing MDD from the intraday high balance, matching Apex's official dashboard. Commissions and swaps are included if applicable. The dollar buffer updates with every new synced trade.
Does Jornalo track Apex's consistency rule?
Jornalo shows P/L per day and highlights your largest-gain day so you can watch the 30% rule. Final validation should always be done against Apex's official dashboard.
What happens when I move from evaluation to PA?
Jornalo automatically detects the prefix change (APEX to PA-APEX) and starts applying PA rules. Your evaluation history is preserved but the active tracker adapts.
Does it support every Apex size?
Yes: 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K in both evaluation and PA. If Apex introduces a new size we add it within 24-48h.
