Best Apex trading journal — what matters and where FundedNotes fits.

If you trade Apex Trader Funding accounts, the journal you choose should understand Apex’s trailing drawdown, your daily loss room, and the reality of juggling several accounts. Here’s what to look for in an Apex journal — and how FundedNotes lines up with those needs.

Start with the rules, not the charts

For Apex traders, the most useful journal is one that foregrounds the firm’s rules. Trailing drawdown distance and daily loss room decide whether you keep trading, so those should sit front and center rather than buried under generic equity curves.

Accuracy against the Apex portal

A good Apex journal should agree with the Apex portal. FundedNotes computes trailing drawdown from peak equity the way Apex does, so you are not reconciling two different numbers when deciding how much risk you can take.

Built for many accounts

Apex traders frequently hold multiple evaluations and funded accounts. FundedNotes treats each as its own journal while rolling everything into a single net P&L and consistency view, so you can manage the whole stable without spreadsheet gymnastics.

Importing and staying read-only

You can import a CSV today and use read-only Rithmic sync now, with more broker auto-sync coming soon. The read-only guarantee is absolute: FundedNotes reads fills to build your journal and never touches order entry or account balances.

Frequently asked questions

What should an Apex trading journal actually do?

At minimum it should show how far you are from breaching Apex’s trailing drawdown, how much daily loss room you have left, and your net P&L and consistency over time. Apex traders live and die by those rules, so a journal that surfaces them clearly matters more than generic charting.

Why does the trailing drawdown calculation matter so much?

Apex uses a trailing threshold that follows your peak equity, so a journal that estimates drawdown loosely can mislead you. FundedNotes computes the distance the way Apex evaluates it, so the number you see tracks what your Apex dashboard shows.

I run several Apex accounts — can FundedNotes keep up?

Yes. Each Apex account gets its own journal and metrics, and FundedNotes rolls them together into one portfolio view, which is exactly how most serious Apex traders operate with multiple evaluations and funded accounts running at once.

How do I get my Apex trades in?

CSV import works today, and read-only Rithmic sync is already live for Apex accounts routed through Rithmic, with broader broker auto-sync on the way. Every connection is strictly read-only — FundedNotes never places, modifies, or cancels orders and never moves funds.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes — there is a Free tier, plus a Lifetime Elite option. The [pricing page](/pricing) lists current features and prices.
