20 x 150K APEX ROADMAP

[Sekiyo]

The limit was set to no max for the order book.
I've changed the value to 80 updates per second

Let's see

Good question …
I don’t have the best internet connection to begin with. I might limit the number of update (messages) per second that the platform receives.

I did set the max (around 80) for the DOM because it’s my main tool but looks like I can’t afford myself this luxury.

I don’t think it’s my CPU, RAM or anything.
Gotta check the usage though but I don’t have much open.

Fans aren’t spinning much.

It’s an old T470 i5 with 8GB ram running Windows 11 but without too much bloatware.

2 NT charts and 1 Rithmic DOM
No browser tab … No screen recorder. No nothing.

I have some concerns about the quality of APEX server because it’s the weirdest feed I’ve ever seen among Earn2Trade, TT and Denali.

If it were an Apex thing others would be complaining about it as well, i once had an account with Apex to try them out and didn't had any issues.

I guess it has something to do with your laptop or like you said, internet connection.
But the second one seems unlikely to me, trading doesn't require a fancy network connection, my Rithmic connection is using 0,3 Mbps on average.

You have to uncheck "keep up with market data inflow", otherwise it will update more than the limit you set it to if the market moves faster than that, that might explain the freezes.

I have both my limits set to 10 per second, more then my brain can process anyway so why set it higher.

Oh, thanks for the advice.
Done it. Didn't thought about it.
It's probably going to solve my issue

You're right ... 10 per second is comfortable
I searched on the web and found the human eye can't make a difference above ~50 updates per second.

The human eye notices around 30 to 60 frames per second.

Noticing frames per second is entirely different from registering the data in the DOM at 50 times per second.

For a smooth experience watching sports for example a minimum of 50 frames or even better 100 frames per second is recommended for a smooth watching experience, but you don't need 50 updates per second on the DOM since you will never be able to process that information at that rate.

Made me think about this

Number of frames won’t help for spotting the gorilla
xD The elephant in the room !

After Peaky Blinders. Suits.

Create a situation where failure isn’t even a possibility !

Have a nice weekend

It’s being weak, not to profit from the player’s weaknesses Bury them with a smile.

Don’t be naïve nor emotional.

One reason why it looks better to know your instrument inside / out is, lately the NQ tends to pullback 15 to 20 points when there is a really good trend. Knowing stuffs like this … gives you kind of an edge.

Goal is to withdraw 410,000$ within 7 months

The funding phase (Test) is the most difficult,
Should take 2 months but I am trying to keep it to 1 month.

I feel pretty confident about being able to generate 250$ per day in average.
However for the funding phase, my goal is twice that amount or 500$.

It takes 2 months to get funded and build up the cushion.
9,000$ Profit to get funded and 5,000$ to build the cushion.
That's 14,000$ in two months or an average of ~333$ per day.

With the first payout I plan to buy 19 other 150K combines,
Should take 2 months to get funded + build the cushion.
Meanwhile I should withdraw about 2,500$ x 4

Payouts are 2,750$ max, every 10 active days for the first 3 months.
Goal is 250$ per day in average x 10 is 2,500$ x 20 accounts is 50,000$

After 3 months I should be able to withdraw the cushions (5,000$ x20)

The combine cost 297$ but there's often 80% or 90% discount.
Once you're funded there is a 85$ fee every month for each account.

Mainly doing this thread to document my progress,
Be as transparent as possible in case I have an issue with them.

I'll likely fail on my own.
But anyway ^^

Would be great to prove they're legit to payout 410k

Currently ...

I trade like shit lately,
Huge drawdown then climb up to 500.
Goal in testing phase should be 1,000$ to average ~500$ per day.
But I can't reach a thousand ... Might take longer than a month to get funded. Let's see.

Slow Rich vs Fast Poor.

The problem is I trade too much size for too small targets.

Focus is on CONSISTENCY against wrongdoing !

Why did you choose Apex? There are other firms that have shorter evaluation times plus you can withdraw as soon as you establish your "cushion" after being funded. Earn2Trade is one of them. Darrell Martin of Apex has a sordid history. Their evaluation time adds up to over a month. Then you're limited as to how much you can withdraw. I wouldn't be surprised if they blew up one day because they're using trader's money to finance other traders which is the definition of a ponzi scheme.

Not true.

They're using trader's money to finance other traders

Which is what all these companies are doing ... They all make the majority of their income from failing traders and very little from the profit split.

Please note that this guy has been making claims about Apex and accusing them of all kind of shit with 0 evidence, even lying when doing so. Just look up his post history.

I guess he is somehow affiliated with their competitors.
