TradeReview AI / Brokers / Apex Trader Funding
A trading journal that reads your Apex Trader Funding export
Apex evaluations are decided by the trailing threshold and the consistency rule, not by how often you are right. That makes the journal's job narrow and specific: show the drawdown figure that actually ends accounts, after every trade, and flag the trades that risked more than your own plan allowed - including the winners, because those are the ones that get repeated.
How the import actually works
Export your trade history from Apex Trader Funding as a CSV and drop it into the journal. There is no template to fill in first.
The mapper reads the header row and matches your broker's column names against the ones it knows - date, symbol, side, qty, price, fees and a realised P/L column under any of a dozen spellings, from P/L to Realized PnL to Net Profit. Where a column is named something it has not seen, you pick it once from a dropdown and it remembers that file shape for next time.
It also works out what kind of instrument the file holds from the symbols themselves, so the right contract maths is applied without you configuring anything. If it guesses wrong, there is a row of buttons at the top of the import screen to correct it.
Rows that are not trades - transfers, dividends, interest, fees charged to the account - are skipped rather than logged as mystery positions.
Drawdown is what passes or fails you, so it is on the dashboard
Win rate does not end a challenge. Daily drawdown and maximum drawdown do, and both are running totals you have to know during the session, not discover at the end of it.
Both are shown after every trade, against the limits you enter once. The journal also marks separately any trade that risked more than your own per-trade limit - including the ones that won, because a rule you broke profitably is still a rule you broke, and it is the one most likely to end the account next week.
Evaluation and funded accounts, kept apart
An evaluation account and a funded account are different risk regimes with different limits, and mixing them in one history makes both unreadable. Keep them as separate accounts in the journal and the statistics stay honest.
The habits that fail challenges have a signature
Most blown evaluations are not one bad trade. They are three trades in six minutes after a stop-out, or a size increase on day four after two green days. The journal tags those as mistakes and counts what they cost, so the pattern is a number rather than a feeling.
Questions
Does it track the trailing threshold?
It tracks your maximum and daily drawdown against limits you set once, after every trade. Enter your account's threshold as the maximum drawdown limit.
Can I keep my evaluation and funded accounts separate?
Yes. Keep them as separate accounts in the journal so the statistics for each stay honest - they are different risk regimes and averaging them hides both.
Is it free?
Yes. Unlimited trades, CSV import, the full dashboard, entry and exit screenshots, trade replay and PDF reports are free with no card. AI coaching, AI agents and automatic broker sync are on paid plans.
Do I have to give you my broker password?
No. CSV import needs nothing but the file. Automatic sync on paid plans goes through SnapTrade or the broker's own API, which use read-only connections - the journal can never place a trade.
