Three Apex account groups: the funded pair took the first three trades, a single account one short, the other pair the last eight. Times are Eastern.
Where it came from
| Block | Trades | Net |
|---|---|---|
| Apex funded pair, 10:41–11:04 PM | 3 NQ longs (1W–2L) | −$2,094.80 |
| Apex single account, 11:11 PM | 1 NQ short | +$493.80 |
| Apex pair, 11:16 PM–12:24 AM | 8 (5W–3L) | +$1,725.60 |
| NQ | 9 (5W–4L) | −$450.60 |
| ES | 3 (2W–1L) | +$575.20 |
What the execution data shows
- #1 bought 28,918.25 as NQ was falling and lost 20 points in 7 minutes. #3 bought the same area again at 28,913.75, added 20 points lower, and sold both at 28,885.25 for −$1,472.40. The same mistake as Tuesday: re-buying a long that just failed.
- The turn came after that. #4 shorted 28,887 for 12.5 points, then the longs on the other pair caught the bounce: #7 took 8 points in 3 minutes and #8 took +$1,017.60.
- #8 and #12 were both built by adding 3 to 24 points below the first fill. Both worked, together worth +$2,080.
- #11 was a flip: long at 28,959.50, reversed short 12 points lower, covered for 3 points. Net −$382.40.
- ES #12 was the best-managed trade: 2 lots, scaled out at 7,684.75 and 7,684, held 36 minutes for +$1,062.60.
Takeaway
The second half shows what works: buy the bounce after the flush, size 2, hold the winner. The first half shows the leak: buying into a falling market twice in 10 minutes for −$2,100. Adding to losers won four times over these two nights and lost once, and the one loss cost more than all four wins combined.
