Ready to Start a New Chapter
New to the firm, but not new to the prop industry or futures. My experience so far has been great! Being able to fine-tune an assessment that fits me is refreshing and unique. Having built in risk management, a detailed and intuitive journal, automatic trade tracking/importing/detailed trade reports, and built in news events all wrapped up in an aesthetically pleasing and user friendly interface is simply sublime. PLUS, I can trade Bonds again! All of that led to me to finally pulling the plug and leaving Apex. The first nail in their proverbial coffin was removing Bonds as tradeable assets. Those are my bread and butter. The final nail was the recent change in rules regarding how to allocate risk, sizing restrictions, and a few other rule changes that led to a lot of traders having to make adjustments (sometimes major) to their strategies in order to satisfy the rule changes. I understand that those were implemented to manage risk on their end, but some of them appear intentionally vague.
