GETTING STARTED
Setting up APEX on TradingView
Before you can use APEX you need a TradingView account and your username registered for access. This page walks you through everything from account creation to seeing your first session box on the chart. Takes around 10 minutes.
Step 1
Create a TradingView account at tradingview.com
tradingview.com
Step 2
Find your TradingView username under Profile → Settings → Username
@your_username
Step 1 — Create a TradingView account
If you don’t already have one, go to tradingview.com and create a free account. Any TradingView plan works with APEX — you don’t need a paid subscription to use the indicator. A paid TradingView plan is useful if you want unlimited alerts across multiple sessions.
Already have an account? Skip straight to Step 2 — finding your username.
Step 2 — Find your TradingView username
Your TradingView username is needed to grant you access to APEX. It is not the same as your email address. Log in, click your profile icon, open your profile, and copy the username shown at the top of the page with the @ symbol.
Step 3 — Confirm your access
When you subscribed through Whop, your TradingView username was collected at checkout. Access is usually granted within a few minutes. In TradingView, open Indicators, search APEX Breakout, and check Invite-only scripts for the APEX indicator.

Step 4 — Add APEX to your chart

INVITE-ONLY SCRIPTS
APEX Breakout — All Sessions
Open TradingView, load a chart, change the timeframe to 5 minutes, click Indicators, search APEX Breakout, and choose APEX Breakout — All Sessions under Invite-only scripts. The session boxes should appear on your chart immediately.
Step 5 — Save your chart layout
Once APEX is on your chart and configured how you like it, save the layout so it reloads automatically every time you open TradingView. Press Ctrl + S on Windows or Cmd + S on Mac, name the layout, and save it to TradingView’s cloud.
Pro tip: Create a separate saved layout for each instrument you trade — for example EURUSD, FRA40, and XAUUSD. Each can have its own pip size and session settings configured correctly.
Step 6 — Set up TradingView alerts
APEX has native Pine Script alerts built in that fire when a signal is confirmed at bar close. Add an alert, select APEX Breakout — All Sessions as the condition, choose a breakout condition, set your notification method, and use Once Per Bar Close as the trigger frequency.
Free TradingView accounts are limited to 1 active alert at a time. To run alerts across multiple sessions and instruments simultaneously, a paid TradingView plan is recommended.
You are ready
APEX is now live on your chart, your layout is saved, and your alerts are configured. Head to the next tutorial to understand the indicator settings and get everything configured correctly for your timezone and trading style.
