APEX runs a NASDAQ session algorithm and a triple-engine GOLD algorithm side by side, copied straight onto your own account - around 8 to 9 trades a day across both markets, every entry, stop and target handled automatically. Free to start. You only pay when it profits.
Start copy tradingSession windows are live and update with your clock. The feed below shows the winning trades from July 2026, the most recent complete month in the record. Win rate across the record is in the low-to-mid 40s%, so plenty of losing trades are not shown here. The full month by month record, losses included, is further down this page. Not live signals.
Most algo sellers show you their best quarter. Here is every completed month of the combined NASDAQ + GOLD backtest since January 2025, red months included, in R units (1R = your risk per trade). Fourteen green, five red, +203R in total. The current month is still running so it is not counted yet. The reds are part of the system and surviving them is the whole skill.
The same record split by week - 50 of 83 weeks finished green. Losing weeks are in there too; that is the nature of real trading.
Plotted from 3,265 real closed trades across 19 completed months, drawn as 233 points so the line stays readable. The dips are real drawdowns, including the one running at the end of the record.
Same trade sequence at the 3% default, risk updated once a month, and sized the way the algo really sizes - honouring your broker's 0.01 minimum lot. This is £300 left completely alone, finishing at £18,585. Read the start before the end: the untouched account fell 71% from its high along the way. Compounding multiplies both directions. Educational simulation, not a forecast.
Four engines, two markets, and they take turns carrying the machine. Watch how the columns hedge each other: when NASDAQ has a red month, gold usually pays, and the other way round. That is why the combined column is smoother than any single engine.
NASDAQ = the dual session NASDAQ engine. GOLD = the two gold engines (Balanced and Hedge-Wear) combined (a balanced pullback engine and a 72% win rate scalper). Every engine was validated separately on out-of-sample data and real tick history before earning its place.
No software to install and no PC needed. You set the whole thing up from your phone or any browser in a few minutes, and the algorithm copies straight onto your own account.

Our private Telegram community, where professional traders post their trades as they take them. Each signal comes with the entry, the stop loss and the targets, and they tell you when they are trading and when they are standing aside.
Signals are the traders' own views, not advice. Trading carries risk and you can lose money, so only ever trade with what you can afford to lose.
Same 19 months, translated to a real account trading fixed risk per trade on both algos. These are historical simulations including real spreads. They are not forecasts, not typical results, and no outcome is guaranteed. Note that every row includes the red months and the deepest drawdown, because your account has to live through those to reach the total.

| 2% of balance | approx £7,340 (14.7x) | approx -15% | approx -46% |
Read the drawdown column like your account depends on it, because it does. The 2% compounding row only reached its total by surviving a 46% hole. This 12 month window was also a strong period for the model; the longer research record averages materially lower, and roughly one month in four is red. We publish the losing months and the full research to members because understanding drawdowns is the education. Nothing here is financial advice and simulated past performance does not predict future results.
The question everyone asks: what if you keep risking a fixed percentage and let the account grow? We did not model it with an average. We replayed all 3,265 real backtest trades in their exact order, recalculating the pound risk at the start of every month as the balance moved, from every possible 12-month starting date. Losing months included.

How to read this table. These are medians across every 12-month start date in the record, sized the way the algo really sizes - honouring your broker's 0.01 minimum lot. You update your risk setting once a month, as your balance changes. That is the whole maintenance job.
Yes, the higher settings make dramatically more money. On these windows 5% turned £300 into roughly £14,803 against £4,276 at 3%. But read the last two columns before you reach for it. At 5% the average worst-case fall was 84%, a £300 account sat at £48 at its lowest, and two of the eight start dates never recovered - the account was finished before the good months arrived. That is a one in four chance of losing everything. 4% carried every single start date through and still made £7,804. The algo ships at 3%, and the setting is yours to change - but change it with your eyes open.
That is what the algo ships at, and it is the number we want every single person using this to stay at. Not because bigger settings do not make more money. They do, and we show you exactly how much below. It is because 3% is the highest setting where the drawdowns stay survivable. 4% also carried every start date we tested - but it did it through a 74% hole instead of a 57% one, and at 5% two of the eight start dates never came back at all. The gap between "survived" and "survivable" is where people quit.
Why higher risk kills you rather than just hurting you. Losing months are a documented part of this model. When you risk 3% and hit a bad run, the account shrinks and each following trade automatically gets smaller, so it bleeds slowly and lives. When you risk 10%, the same bad run takes the account down faster than the algo can size back out of it, and there is no balance left to recover with. The maths turns from a dip into a floor. Doubling your risk setting does not double your profit, it multiplies your chance of never getting there.
All figures are historical simulations on recorded tick data including real spreads, shown for education only. Median means half the tested start dates finished higher and half lower. The future can be worse than every window in this record, compounding deepens losing runs exactly as it multiplies winning ones, and no result here is promised or typical. Never trade money you cannot afford to lose, and start on demo.
Three things, and none of them is a computer. The whole setup is done online in a few minutes.
Premier Markets is a regulated broker, so opening an account has the same identity checks as any bank - nothing unusual, but worth knowing before you start so it is quick. This all happens on Premier's own site; APEX never sees any of it.
How long does it take? Usually approved within minutes to a few hours - occasionally up to 1-2 business days if they need to double-check your documents. When you are approved, Premier emails you your login number, trading password and server name. Save all three - you need them to connect the algorithm.
This is the single biggest thing you can do that costs you no extra risk. Compounding works on whatever is in the account, so every pound you add early gets multiplied by everything that comes after it. Adding a modest amount monthly does more for your end balance than raising your risk setting - and unlike raising risk, it makes the ride smoother, because fresh cash cushions the losing runs instead of deepening them.
The same £300 account and the same trades, with £100 added every month.
| £300 start, 3% risk, 19 completed months | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| You add | Total you deposited | Finished at | Of which is profit | Deepest fall |
| Nothing | £300 | £18,585 | £18,285 | 71% |
| £50 a month | £1,200 | £54,767 | £53,567 | 67% |
| £100 a month | £2,100 | £85,018 | £82,918 | 63% |
Read the third column carefully. £100 a month for around eighteen months is roughly £1,800, on top of the £300 you started with of your own money going in - that part is not profit and we have separated it out so you can see exactly what the algo did and what you did. The point is not the headline number, it is that the same algo, same risk setting, same trades produced £82,918 of profit instead of £18,285, purely because there was more working capital in the account each month.
Notice the last column too: the untouched account fell 71% at its worst, the topped-up one 60%. Regular deposits genuinely soften drawdowns. Only ever add money you can afford to lose entirely - the drawdowns are still deep and none of this is guaranteed.
£300 is the minimum, and it takes about 96% of every trade the system produces - effectively the whole thing. Your broker will not trade smaller than 0.01 lots, so on a very small balance a few of the smallest trades get skipped. The algo steps up to the next lot size when rounding down would leave a trade too small, which closes almost all of that gap. From about £500 upward it takes 100%.
A £300 account is not a cut-down account. It takes about 96% of the trades and on the tested record it compounded at much the same rate as a £1,000 one. What a bigger balance actually buys you is steadier position sizing and smaller swings in cash terms - the percentage drawdowns are the same either way, and they are deep. Start where you can genuinely afford to, not where a table tells you to. Simulated figures, drawdowns included, no outcome guaranteed.
No subscription and no card. You only pay when the algorithm makes you money: a 30% performance fee on your profit. No profit, no fee. As an introducer we may also earn a commission from the broker on trading activity - that comes from their own spread and never adds a penny to your costs.

No. The algorithm handles every entry, stop, target and exit automatically. Your only job is the one-time setup online, which takes a few minutes.
No. There is nothing to download and no PC needed. You connect the algorithm to your account through the links on this page, from your phone or any browser. It then runs on the broker's servers 24/5, so your own device can be off.
£300 is the minimum to start. It stays in your own account as your trading balance, and you can add more or withdraw at any time. A larger balance lets the algorithm trade proportionally larger.
Your money stays in your own account at Premier Markets, in your name - we never hold or touch it. You can pause, unfollow or withdraw at any time, subject to the broker's normal process.
There is no upfront cost. We take a 30% performance fee on the profit the algorithm makes you, and nothing if it does not profit. As an introducer we may also earn a commission from the broker on trading activity, which comes from their own spread and adds no extra cost to you. Full detail in the terms.
