No, only in phase 2 with 5 accounts. Doing another 5 through evals again, since I blew up 5 on day 1 of phase 2. I'm still undergoing the 4 month withdrawal process in phase 2. I'm equating funded as passing 4 month of withdrawals and being able to trade live. Phase 2 is still under sim.

You are currently funded with APEX?

Oh still impressive journey man, I am phase 1 with 10 accounts right now also with 50k and 25k Evals.

yehhh .. i passed all the EA accounts today ( in 2 days).. 5 of them... it was a journey !!! .. started with 5 micros came close to 50$ left but then again went back to -700$ .. then after 2 back n forth finally completed it...

now have to stick to micros to earn in phase II. Which is very very hard for me.. small numbers don't excite me.. so I usually put larger positions ..
Today though I did control myself not to put large positions sizxe except once where accidentally I took 5 minis because the trade copper setting had the ratio mode on.

I need to learn how to let go and take losses. I did read "best loser wins" book. i think that's helpful .. only if I practise it ... i need to find value and convince my mind when it tries to fly away in euphoria.

Now next 5 days I need to flip the switch to make the days count. then I get my EAs.

I will most probably open a similar thread about my failures/ success.

Lol, we are very much in the same boat! That is so true, I don't take loss well. I can't execute it consistently. Hey congrats! Way to go, just need another 5 more days!

I also struggle with that, big numbers goes both ways. I took the L today on my trade, got in a trade too early.

Yup, just trade 1 contract. You can also just open and close it right away, this fulfils the criteria for the day. Phase 1 isn't as strict, just remember phase 2 have a lot more rules that must be met before you are allowed to withdraw.

Looking forward to reading your journal!

04.25.2023 - [Day 27/100] - PASS : [[Day 2][Day1]] - 4 accounts : -$500; 1 account reset : [Day 2/20] - PASS

Today was a L, took a trade too early. I jumped right not rechecking everything before I entered. The larger trend was short, but I got on a mini trend going long. I was in a bit early. For whatever reason, NT8 froze and caused my laptop to crash. This cause my S/L not to get triggered and one of my account to fly pass the S/L and it hit the drawdown. I've reached out to APEX, maybe they will reset, maybe they wont. Either way, I already opened an new eval account with the "SAVE90".

Overall, it sucks, but I'm happy with the way I stuck with the game plan. I just need to keep it up on taking my losers well.

1 : best time to entered, rejection off 200 ema. A little risk for a big reward.
2: this is the trade that I really should of went for, confirmation off price trending short and below: 200 ema, 60 ema, 21 ema.

What I could of done better was just realizing price was trending long above the 60 ema, I could of cut my losses sooner at around -$200.

I hope everyone was able to nab that phat drop! Good Luck!

@injpowwetrust

this indicator does a good job of drawing supply / demand zones so you don't have to .. can show/hide active zones .. can show/hide broken zones

Download: Supply Demand Zones for NT8 (MTF) The indicator plots supply and demand based zones from various time frames on the chart. It also adds a context menu item to the default Ninjatrader context menu to hide and show active and broken zones. Version: 1.2 | Dec. 2016 personmk77ch

guys, you can avoid many wrong trades with a cumulative delta graph .. check that one out. Divergence there is also very strong decision maker.

@injpowwetrust .. agree with @anuproy .. you need to have a way of trading with the larger traders ..

cumulative delta is certainly one of those ways ..

here are three indicators I have worked with ..

the On Balance Volume indicator looks at NET volume (buyers vs sellers) for each bar and adds to the previous OBV .. so OBV goes up when there are more buyers .. OBV goes down when there are more sellers
.. published in April, 2020 .. Vitali Apirine added an EMA ( fast smoothing line ) to the OBV indicator and called it OBVM ..
.. I added a second smoothing line ( slow smoothing line ) .. and compare the difference between them .. much like a MACD
.. then I added a signal line, background colors, and sound alerts

the Accumulation Distribution Line looks a where the close is in relationship to the range of the current bar and uses it to multiply the current bar volume ..
.. then I used the same logic used for my OBVM-CD indicator

TopGunNote (think he may be a member on this site @topgunNote ) on the NinjaTrader forum looked at the NET cumulative delta from the Order Flow Cumulative Delta indicator (above 0?? below 0??) .. this converts the standard OFCD indicator to a momentum indicator .. but a lifetime license is required .. internet search for irDeltaMomentum
.. my contributions are background colors and a moving average ..

no indicator is perfect but the ADL-CD has been good to me .. especially during the first 30 minutes of the market opening
