    Header

    The symbol this chart trades. Press ☰ or the symbol to open Market Watch and switch symbols. The – button shrinks the panel. X hides the console from the chart, panels and lines alike, while it goes on managing your trades. A small ☰ button stays where the panel was, so you can bring everything back.

  2. 2

    Tabs

    Five pages. Trade is where you plan and send trades. Prop Guard keeps a prop firm account inside its limits. Close closes trades by symbol or group. News lists the events coming up. Settings holds hotkeys, screenshots, Notify & Sound and more.

    Account and trade totals

    Balance and equity of the account. P&L is the floating profit or loss of the open trades on this symbol. Profit and Loss show what the console’s trades on this symbol would make at their take profit, or lose at their stop loss, counting any partial levels. When both are set, RR appears next to P&L.

    Exits in stages

  4. 4

    Market

    One-click market orders. Set the lot, check the spread, then press SELL or BUY. Orders sent from here have no stop loss or take profit.

  5. 5

    Server / Virtual

    Where the next trade keeps its stop loss and take profit. SERVER (green dot) places them with your broker. VIRTUAL (orange dot) keeps them inside the console, out of the broker’s sight. Press it to change.

    Virtual SL / TP

  6. 6

    Risk mode and amount

    How the lot is worked out: from a cash amount, from a percent of balance, or a lot you set yourself. Type the value in the box below it.

    Your first trade

  7. 7

    Order Type

    Market enters at the current price. Pending waits for price to reach the entry you set.

    Your first trade

Common questions

Does ApeX Trading Console work on MT4?

No. It is built for MetaTrader 5 on desktop only.

Which MT5 accounts does it support?

Hedging accounts. Netting accounts are not supported.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes. The demo edition is free and runs on demo accounts, which is the best place to follow these guides for the first time.

I lost my licence key. How do I get it again?

Sign in to My account on the shop and press Send a new key. The new key replaces the old one, which stops working straight away.
