How to Set Up TradingView for Apex Trader Funding
Connect TradingView to your Apex Trader Funding account and configure the platform for Apex Trader Funding's trailing intraday (floor moves with every tick) rules. This guide covers connection, verification, and recommended risk settings.
This page is for traders who already chose Apex Trader Funding and need to translate the firm's rule model into a safer TradingView workspace.
It matters most if you use templates, alerts, ATM strategies, or copied chart layouts that could accidentally ignore Apex Trader Funding's trailing intraday (floor moves with every tick) and daily-loss logic.
- --Confirm the account balance and server connection match the firm dashboard before assuming the platform is configured correctly.
- --Check that your default size, flattening rules, and alerts respect Apex Trader Funding's daily loss and holding restrictions.
- --Re-check the live rule page on the same day you trade, because platform setup can stay correct while the firm changes a policy window or restriction.
