Running multiple Apex evaluations? Stacking funded accounts? MimikTrader copies every trade from your leader to all followers instantly. Our trailing drawdown protection monitors equity on every tick — catching risk violations before Apex's own end-of-day checks. Cloud-based, no VPS, no desktop app.
Apex Trader Funding enforces specific risk parameters on every account. MimikTrader lets you mirror these exact rules as automated guardrails — protecting your accounts in real-time rather than waiting for Apex's post-session checks.
Apex rule: Apex uses a trailing threshold that moves with your account's high-water mark based on end-of-day balance. The threshold trails until it reaches the starting balance, then becomes static.
MimikTrader: MimikTrader's trailing drawdown tracks equity in real-time on every price tick — providing intraday protection that Apex's end-of-day check does not. Set the threshold to match your account's Apex trailing value and positions will auto-flatten before a breach.
Apex rule: Apex limits position sizes per account (e.g., up to 4 ES on a $50K, 14 on a $150K, 20 on a $300K evaluation). Exceeding these limits violates the rules.
MimikTrader: Set MimikTrader's max contract limit per follower to match Apex's published caps for each account size. The copier will reject any order that would exceed the limit, even if the leader is trading larger.
Apex rule: Apex does not enforce a separate daily loss limit — the trailing threshold is the primary risk control.
MimikTrader: MimikTrader lets you add your own daily loss limit as an extra layer of protection. Many Apex traders set a personal daily max loss well below the trailing threshold to preserve capital across multiple sessions.
Apex rule: Apex evaluations require reaching a profit target (e.g., $3,000 on a $50K, $9,000 on a $150K) to pass.
MimikTrader: Use MimikTrader's profit target feature to lock an account once the evaluation goal is met — preventing overtrading after hitting the milestone. This is optional but helps traders who want a disciplined exit.

Apex Trader Funding uses Tradovate for order routing. In MimikTrader, click Connect Account and log in through the Tradovate OAuth flow using your Apex/Tradovate credentials. All your Apex accounts — evaluations and funded — will be discovered automatically.
Apex uses a trailing threshold that follows your account's end-of-day balance high-water mark. MimikTrader's trailing drawdown feature tracks equity in real-time on every price tick — which is actually more granular than Apex's end-of-day check. Set the trailing value to match Apex's published threshold for your account size, and MimikTrader will auto-flatten positions before a violation can occur during the trading session.
Yes. This is one of the most popular use cases. Set one Apex evaluation as your leader, add your other evaluations as followers, and every trade you take on the leader is replicated across all evaluations. Each follower has independent risk settings, so a $50K eval and a $300K eval can have different lot multipliers and drawdown thresholds.
Apex Trader Funding permits the use of trade copying tools. However, always review Apex's current terms of service to confirm compliance with their latest policies. MimikTrader is designed as a software tool that copies orders between accounts you own — it does not manage third-party funds or provide trading signals.
Apex sets contract limits per account size (e.g., up to 4 ES contracts on a $50K evaluation, up to 20 on a $300K). MimikTrader's max contract limit setting enforces these caps per follower account. If a leader trade would push a follower above its contract limit, the order is rejected for that follower while other accounts continue normally.
Yes. You can mix evaluation and funded accounts in the same copy group. Use a funded account as the leader and evaluations as followers, or vice versa. Each account's risk rules are configured independently, so different account sizes and phases get appropriate protection.
Trades are detected via persistent WebSocket connections to the Tradovate backend. When the leader receives a fill, follower orders are placed within milliseconds. There is no polling delay — detection happens in real-time at the broker API level.
Yes. When you place a bracket order with stop loss and take profit, MimikTrader replicates the complete OCO structure to every follower. Both protective orders are placed as a linked pair on each account.
No. MimikTrader connects directly to the Tradovate API — the same backend Apex uses. You do not need NinjaTrader, Tradovate's desktop app, or any other software running. Everything is cloud-based.
Yes. MimikTrader offers a 7-day free trial with full access to every feature, including risk management, trailing drawdown, and unlimited copy groups. Connect your Apex accounts and test the complete workflow at no cost.
Apex allows copying trades between your own accounts (up to 20 active PA accounts). MimikTrader copies only between your own accounts — never between different traders. Apex prohibits automation, bots, and copying other traders' signals. Always review Apex's current terms of service to confirm compliance with your specific account type.
