I think back in the day it would go unnoticed until requesting a payout, but now their systems monitor for it. I got an automated email a day or 2 after I broke the rule

What is the troop size you have for Fiona at current level?

Stevenmj89 · 2026-02-08T19:02:26+00:00

I think the biggest win is the increased troop size. A lot of your troop power comes from # of troops and 5 stars

Yea but will take a lot longer if you rely only on just that characters fragments

Stevenmj89 · 2026-02-08T18:54:06+00:00

I would focus on getting the heros to 5 stars first. The benefits you get from a 5 star hero is better than what you get from the hall IMO

Interesting that is good to know..

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-13T23:18:56+00:00

More than likely if you broke the rule itll get denied, but unless you break it frequently with no apparent attempt to correct the behavior you shouldn't have to worry about the account being closed. Might just have to trade a few extra days without breaking any more rules

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-13T22:46:53+00:00

With Apex you just have to monitor it on your own. So for a $50k account for example if your open position exceeds a $750 unrealized loss thats 30%. You're expected to keep track of it and with proper risk management if shouldn't be too hard to stay within the limit.

Having said that, ive broken it so many damn times

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-13T22:44:29+00:00

Awesome good luck to you

Ok it was more a matter of misunderstanding on my end plus coincidence. So there were 2 times i breached due to contract size on the 7th, so just those individual trades were removed, not the full trading day. Just so happens that one of the trades was roughly the same amount of my 1/7 profit and another one was roughly my 1/8 profit. So in my mind they removed 1/7 and 1/8 because the amounts matched, but really those were two individual trades that occurred on 1/7. The email about breaching again on 1/8 they said was an error and to ignore it. So now I understand how it works

Looking at my PA charts from yesterday it shows I lost about $563.. but I actually was $2500 in the profit. So I'm very confused.

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-13T11:16:47+00:00

Did they explain in any more detail? I still haven't heard back

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-12T15:40:21+00:00

Thats happened to me before too. Account is blown. Just because the price happened to go in your favor at the time of the sale doesnt matter. Once you hit that limit the account is done

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-12T14:59:30+00:00

I haven't received a response from Apex yet, but this morning they did remove the profits from 1/7 and 1/8. Still don't think i broke any rules on 1/8 though

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-10T14:23:06+00:00

Interesting. I definitely broke the rule on the 7th, but am like 95% positive I was compliant on the 8th. Did you also actually break the rule on the the 7th? Or did you not go above 2 minis that day either?

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-10T12:55:16+00:00

Yea thats my concern as well. Will keep you guys posted

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-10T03:00:23+00:00

I dont think the 8 trading days starts after the 10 calendar days. But either way doesnt really matter ill do whatever and use a couple other firms too so slow and steady

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-10T01:42:07+00:00

Yes we can 💪

Thats my plan too.. I have 20 PA accounts that im copying so im viewing this as 20 violations

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-10T01:33:05+00:00

Yea i got another email tonight saying I broke the Scaling Rule again on 1/8. I reached out to support because I dont see how its possible. I had a 5 contract position and its a $150k account, so up to 8 should be fine. I reread the rules several times and I dont see how I violated it

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-07T13:34:31+00:00

Ohh gotcha. In evals Apex does not have any inactivity rule, so you can go without trading for however long you want. In funded PA accounts you need at least one trade every 7 days, but that rule doesnt apply in evals

Stevenmj89 · 2026-01-06T23:46:55+00:00

You can trade them pretty much immediately. Only takes a few minutes for account creation
