I rebuilt Apex Drawdown Zero.

Apex Drawdown Zero V12 is an automated Gold (XAUUSD) Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 built around risk management, two trading strategies, and a dedicated FTMO challenge mode.

🔥 GET APEX DRAWDOWN ZERO V12:

V12 introduces a major change to the Apex system.

Instead of relying on one trading approach, Apex V12 uses two separate strategy engines:

⚡ Opening Range

Trades breakouts, false breaks/sweeps and retests around the opening range.

📈 Trend Pullback

Looks for pullbacks during established Gold trends and enters when momentum resumes.

🛡️ RISK FIREWALL

Every trade uses a stop-loss and take-profit from entry. The EA also monitors daily loss and overall drawdown limits across its positions.

No martingale.

No grid.

No averaging down.

No recovery system.

🏆 FTMO CHALLENGE MODE

Apex V12 also includes a dedicated mode designed around two-step prop-firm challenge rules.

The EA can monitor its risk limits, reduce position sizing as limits approach, and stop after reaching the configured phase target.

In Strategy Tester simulations using real tick data, 12 different Phase 1 starting dates between January 2025 and August 2026 were tested.

12/12 simulated Phase 1 starts reached the target.

IMPORTANT: These are historical Strategy Tester simulations — NOT live trading results and NOT a guarantee that an FTMO or other prop-firm challenge will be passed.
