Apex Automated Trading Rules

Automation

AI, Autobots, Algorithms, Fully Automated Trading Systems or software, High Frequency Trading (HFTs), or any other automated trading is prohibited on the PA or Live accounts.

It is strictly prohibited to use any type of hands-off, set and forget, set and walk away, trading continuously  24-hour-a-day as well as any other type of automation, including those listed above. Using those types of automation will cause the closure of the PA or Live account and forfeiture of all funds and balances.

Full trader monitoring and presence at all times must accompany the use of semi-automated software. This means the trader must be present, watching the trades, managing the entries and the settings on the semi-automated software. This software assists in placing a trade based on a set of rules that the trader is actively monitoring, adjusting the software for market moves, longs, shorts, pausing, news awareness, and market conditions, etc.

Semi-automated trading or a trade assistant should be turned off and on as market conditions begin to set up for a trade, or as they deteriorate. Remember, it is to be used as a means to help with the speed or accuracy of placing a trade, and not as a system that trades for you.
