Yes. Risk profile presets switch between Conservative, Balanced and Aggressive from the dashboard in one action. Conservative tightens stops, reduces position size and filters for higher-quality signals only. Aggressive widens stops, increases sizing and allows more trades. Balanced matches the default production settings and is the sensible starting point.
It holds the ten US stocks with the strongest 12-month momentum, measured to a month ago, and rebalances once a month — anything that has dropped out of the top ten is sold. Those positions deliberately carry no stop, trail or time limit: the rebalance is the only exit. In four years of backtesting, adding stops to the same picks made returns depend mostly on which day of the week the sleeve refilled, and a wide catastrophic stop lowered returns without making drawdowns shallower. Expect deep drawdowns on the sleeve itself; size it with that in mind. Ranking every liquid US stock takes about 70 data requests, so it needs a Polygon (now Massive) Stocks Starter plan, $29/month, paid to them directly — their free plan allows five requests a minute. Without a Starter key, Elite runs the earlier macro-theme sleeve instead, which does use the Trend stop.
No. If you can follow a five-step tutorial with screenshots, you can install Apex. The setup wizard walks you through every step.
Alpaca Markets and Tradier — both free to open. Alpaca covers equities, options and crypto in paper and live. Tradier offers commission-free equities and options. You can connect both and nominate one as primary from the dashboard. Switching primary cancels open orders on the outgoing account and routes new signals to the new one.
Yes. Connect both in account settings and nominate one as primary. New buy signals route to the primary; the other stays in monitor-only mode, so existing positions wind down naturally while no new ones open. Primary can be switched at any time without a restart.
