Retail stock journals rarely understand max daily loss, consistency scores, or payout splits. Prop traders blow accounts on rule breaches that have nothing to do with edge. Your journal should show you, in numbers, which days came closest to failure and why.

Firms traders ask about most

  • FTMO and similar CFD evals
  • TopStep and Apex-style futures programs
  • Quant Tekel and newer eval shops
  • Hybrid accounts where you still use MT5

Profit AI syncs prop accounts on MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and TradeLocker, and imports futures prop accounts (TopStep and Apex-style) by CSV. It grades every trade against the daily loss and risk rules you set. It does not connect to prop firm dashboards or monitor accounts live, so pair it with our prop firm risk calculator for a daily budget number.

Features worth paying for

  1. Every trade and day graded against your firm's limits
  2. Session tagging (did you break rules after lunch?)
  3. Written weekly review, not only charts
  4. Chart AI for pre-trade checks on the same phone
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Traders often run evaluation and funded accounts in parallel. Tag each account separately so stats do not blend.
