Keep your evaluation clean
An Apex trading journal that tracks your evaluation rules, daily.
Apex evaluations end on trailing drawdown and daily loss breaches. DuskAnalyst tracks both across your evaluation and funded accounts — free to start.
Free tier: 2 accounts, no card required.
Why it matters
Why Apex traders need a structured journal
Trailing drawdown, daily loss and consistency decide whether an evaluation stays alive. A journal shows you the distance to each limit in real numbers, not feelings.
Track the rules that matter
Current drawdown, daily loss, profit target progress and consistency are computed from your closed trades, so you can see how close you are to the limits before you trade.
Manual or auto-sync
Free tier: log manually or import CSV at $0 — enough to track a full evaluation. If your Apex accounts run on a supported terminal such as MT4, MT5 or cTrader, Pro at $25 per month auto-syncs every closed trade; otherwise manual entry and CSV still cover you.
Evidence for review
A structured record of every trade with tags, notes and weekly reports — the evidence to review before your next evaluation or retry. Free covers two accounts at $0; Pro adds unlimited accounts, AI insights and full export.
FAQ
Apex journaling questions, answered.
What should an Apex trading journal track?
An Apex journal should track the rules that keep an evaluation alive: trailing drawdown, daily loss, consistency and progress toward the profit target, plus win rate and profit factor. It should also record the setup, entry, exit, size, tags and notes for every trade so review is possible. DuskAnalyst computes the analytics from your closed trades and tracks demo, live and funded accounts side by side. In our 2026 audit we checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, and the brokers table on our home page shows the evidence for each one.
How do I get Apex trades into the journal?
On Free, log trades manually or import them from your platform via CSV — that covers manual journaling of an evaluation at $0, with no card required. If your Apex accounts run on a supported terminal such as MT4, MT5 or cTrader, Pro at $25 per month auto-syncs every closed trade with unlimited accounts, AI insights and full export. The journal never sees your broker password or login credentials; only your closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.
Does the journal track Apex's trailing drawdown and daily loss limits?
Yes. The journal tracks current drawdown against your configured limits and calculates daily P&L for every trading day, flagging days that approach or breach your daily loss limit. You set the limits to match your account, and the same tracking carries into your funded account. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek. The Free tier covers two accounts, which is enough to track an evaluation; Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts and auto-sync.
How does consistency work for Apex evaluations?
Consistency rules exist so a payout doesn't rest on one giant day. The journal shows your daily P&L distribution, win rate and profit factor, so you can see if a single outsized day dominates your results — and fix it before the firm's review does. AI insights let you ask questions of your own history, and weekly reports keep the pattern visible.
Can DuskAnalyst help me pass an Apex evaluation?
It helps you know exactly where you stand: current drawdown, daily loss, consistency and progress toward the profit target are always visible, so you can see when you are too close to a limit to keep trading. It does not guarantee passing an evaluation — no journal can — and DuskAnalyst is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Apex. Evaluations can be retried; the journal is where you find out what actually went wrong before you pay for another one. The execution and risk decisions remain yours.
