The trading journal for prop firm traders.
Sync MT5 and cTrader challenge accounts, import everything else by CSV, and grade every trade against your firm's daily loss and risk limits.
Highlights
Get your challenge trades in
Most prop accounts run on MetaTrader 5 or cTrader, and both sync automatically with read-only access. Accounts on other platforms (MT4, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, DXtrade) come in through CSV import with column mapping.
Your firm's limits as playbook rules
Set a daily loss limit, max loss per trade, max trades per day, and a session window. Every trade and every day is graded against them, so rule breaks show up in the journal instead of in a failed-challenge email.
Insights built from your own data
Profit AI computes drawdown, R-multiples, tilt after losses, overtrading, and your best and worst hours from your real history, then writes plain-English coaching on top of those numbers.
Overview
What is a prop firm trading journal?
A prop firm trading journal is a trade log built around the constraints of a funded account: max daily loss, max total drawdown, profit targets, and minimum trading days. A generic journal tells you what you made. A prop firm journal tells you how close each day came to ending the account, and which habits keep putting you there.
How prop firm accounts get into Profit AI
- MetaTrader 5 accounts (FTMO, Quant Tekel, FundedNext, and most forex props): automatic sync with your account number, server, and read-only investor password.
- cTrader accounts: automatic sync through cTrader's official Open API.
- TradeLocker accounts: automatic sync with your TradeLocker login.
- MT4, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and other platforms (including TopStep): export your history and import it by CSV. Presets map MetaTrader, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, thinkorswim, and TradeStation exports automatically.
Profit AI does not log in to prop firm dashboards and does not read firm-specific rule sets. You enter your limits once as playbook rules, and the journal holds every trade to them.
Why a regular journal is not enough
Most challenges are not lost to a bad strategy. They are lost on one day: a green morning, an oversized revenge trade, a breached daily loss. A journal that marks rule-breaking days, measures how your results change after two losses in a row, and shows which hours cost you money turns that pattern into something you can see before the next attempt.
