A trading journal that knows your prop firm rules
Daily drawdown, trailing drawdown, consistency, news lockouts. Live meters and alerts for FTMO, Apex, MyForexFunds, and FundedNext. Built for the challenge, not as an afterthought.
Most journals will tell you your win rate. Useful. Less useful when you're 0.4% from busting your daily drawdown on a $200k FTMO challenge and your journal has no idea what an FTMO challenge is.
This one does.
We track daily drawdown, trailing drawdown, static drawdown, consistency rules, news lockout windows, weekend hold restrictions, and minimum trading days. For FTMO, Apex, MyForexFunds, FundedNext, The 5%ers, and FundedTraderPlus. If your firm isn't on the list, you can configure rules manually in about two minutes.
What "knowing your rules" means in practice
Take FTMO's standard challenge. 5% daily loss limit. 10% overall loss limit. Profit target 10% in phase 1, 5% in phase 2. Maximum trading days unlimited but consistency rules apply on payout.
Open the journal, and you don't just see your P&L. You see:
- Daily loss remaining: $1,847 (1.8% of $200k)
- Total loss remaining: $14,300 (7.15% of $200k)
- Days traded this challenge: 8 of unlimited
- Consistency score: 73% (best day is 41% of total profit, watch this)
- News lockout active until 9:32am EST (NFP)
The consistency one matters more than people realize. You can pass the challenge and still get denied a payout if one day is responsible for too much of your profit. Most journals don't model this. We do.
Where most prop firm traders blow up
Three patterns we've watched repeatedly across thousands of journaled challenges:
- News trades inside the lockout window. You took a trade 90 seconds before NFP because you saw a setup. The firm voids the trade and may bust the challenge. The journal flags this before you take it if you're using mobile alerts.
- Trailing drawdown calculation errors. Trailing DD updates on closed equity, not floating equity, on most firms. People model it wrong, think they have $3k of room, actually have $700. The journal does the math.
- The 70% consistency trap. One windfall day kills the payout. The journal shows the consistency ratio in real time so you can size down on subsequent winners or take partial profits earlier.
How the AI Coach handles prop firm context
The AI Coach reads your trade history and your firm's rule set, then writes feedback you can act on the next session. As an illustrative example, output for an FTMO phase 2 challenge might look like:
Specific to your trades, your firm, your rules. Not a stock summary.
What it tracks across firms
| Rule type | FTMO | Apex | MFF | FundedNext |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily DD | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Trailing DD | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| Static DD | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Consistency rule | Payout-time | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| News lockout | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Weekend hold | Restricted | No | No | Restricted |
| Min trading days | No | No | No | 5 days |
We update this when the firms change their rules, which they do quarterly. The journal handles the rule version your account was opened under.
Standard vs Pro for prop firm traders
Live rule-aware tracking, the AI Coach, multi-account support, and live broker sync sit on the Pro tier ($55/mo). The 14-day Pro trial includes all of it with no credit card.
Standard ($30/mo) gives you the journal with CSV and EA-webhook import and one account. That is fine if you only want to review your funded results after the fact, not run live rule meters during the trading day.
