Apex Account Safety
Account guardrails for Apex rules — trailing drawdown, contract limits and revenge-trading lockout — checked by a separate engine, off your chart thread.
From $149/mo · or $1,490/yr 2 months free
Guardrails reduce rule-breach risk. They cannot prevent losses from market gaps, broker outages or execution failure, and a manual market order can fill before a cancel reaches the broker.
Overview
Apex Account Safety is a compliance engine that works alongside NinjaTrader. The bundled strategies ask it for approval before an order is sent. Manual orders are checked after submission and cancelled if they would break a rule. It monitors your live balance against your trailing threshold, contract scaling and behavioural lockouts, and can emergency-flatten and lock trading when a safety buffer is reached.
What it does
Trailing drawdown monitoring
Your live balance is monitored continuously. Emergency flatten triggers at a safety buffer above your drawdown threshold.
Contract limits
Strategy entries are checked against your contract limit before they are sent; manual orders over the limit are cancelled after submission.
Revenge trading lockout
Detects rapid emotional re-entry patterns and pauses trading until the session cools.
Off your chart thread
Checks run in a separate engine, so the work is not done on NinjaTrader's chart thread.
