Who This Journal Is For
Prop Firm Traders (Our Primary Focus)
Track your complete progression: run multiple evals simultaneously, manage demo funded accounts where consistency matters, and scale into live funded trading. Monitor daily loss limits, track consistency requirements across accounts, and separate your real-stakes trading (evals, demo funded, live funded) from practice. Perfect for traders working with TopStep, Apex, FTMO, Earn2Trade, or any other prop firm.
Funded Traders
Manage live capital with comprehensive risk management tools, equity curve tracking, and performance attribution. Know exactly which strategies and sessions drive your profitability.
Strategy Developers
Separate backtesting from live trading, compare theoretical performance against real execution, and track which setups actually work in live markets.
Part-Time Traders
Stay organized and disciplined even when trading around a full-time job. Quick trade logging, mobile access, and automated analytics make it easy to maintain good habits without spending hours on journal maintenance.
