Hello Traders,
I have started various trading journals but was not consistent with my postings or the markets I trade. Its created a distorted and convoluted. As a result my trading has suffered. As a discretionary trader my edge is in accountability and consistency, and after reading The Best Loser Wins making all of my trading public from this day forward I believe that will be the sobering accountability I need to take my trading to the next level and see my weak spots by journaling them daily in this public forum. Here are My account balances. 1 Personal 14 APEX Evals.
Balances:
Personal Account: $511.56
APEX 1:$50,256
APEX 2:$50,188
APEX 3:$50,211
APEX 4:$50,175
APEX 5:$50,180
APEX 6:$25,185
APEX 7:$25,072
APEX 8:$50,038
APEX 9:$24,832
APEX 10:$49,988
APEX 11:$24,988
APEX 12:$50,047
APEX 13:$249,912
APEX 14:$249,785
I will update my balances end of day to keep myself honest and all my records public. I will be depositing another $500 USD into my personal account once it is updated in ninja trader I will update here.
I Day Trade Nasdaq Futures utilizing 1/5/30 Minute charts. I use a 1 minute Tick Index for price divergence and strength and weakness, it allows me to refine entry and keep my risk mitigated. I have VWAP and 3 Standard deviations plotted horizontally on all my charts session/weekly/monthly. This allows me to quickly locate price and value areas.
I look forward to making my trading and my consistency public

Best wishes for your journaling goals, and good luck on the Apex accounts.
I know funding companies sometimes have discounts, but that is frequently for just the first account opened, or at least limited in some way.
You have 14 accounts with Apex, or sixteen now, not quite sure which, but a large number either way. The minimum I can see they charge for a $25K account is $147, with $50K and $250K costing a lot more. That all adds up to a decent amount of expenditure on monthly subscription?
May 1 Tick Index 1 MIn
Trading day was pretty uneventful only added 3.5 points of total profit today.
Woke up a little late so I did not trade the volatile open although there was great opportunity. Had some issues with trade copier so no real trades just a couple of 10 tick scalps.
My trading from a risk perspective is consistent
R= 20 Ticks or 5 Points on NQ
I keep this fairly consistent so that I know no string of stop outs will do any damage to my account
My weakest part in trading is holding my winners and allowing myself to catch bigger winners. I will be working on that this week.
My strength as a trader is cutting losers, I confidently take stop outs and that has taken years to understand and cultivate.
What I am looking to improve on this week is trading consistently the same times everyday and holding my winning trades and adding to them
