A trading journal for TopStep traders.
Import your TopStep trades by CSV, grade every day against your daily loss limit, and see the habits that end Trading Combines.
Highlights
Import your futures fills
Export your trade history and import the CSV. Tradovate and NinjaTrader exports are one row per fill, so Profit AI pairs them into round-trip trades and derives P&L from the matched prices.
TopStep's limits as playbook rules
Enter your daily loss limit, max trades per day, and session window. Every trade and day is graded against them, and breaches are flagged in the journal.
Insights from your own Combine
Drawdown, results by hour and weekday, tilt after two losses, and overtrading breakdowns, with AI-written coaching built on those numbers.
Overview
What is a TopStep trading journal?
A TopStep trading journal is a trade log designed around TopStep's constraints: the daily loss limit, the trailing maximum loss limit, and the profit target. It records every futures trade and shows how each day measured against those limits.
Why generic journals fail TopStep traders
Combines are usually lost on a tilt session or after a strong day, when size creeps up. Futures platforms also export executions rather than trades, so many journals show nonsense P&L. Profit AI pairs fills first, then measures the behaviour behind the losing days.
How to use Profit AI with TopStep
- Export your trade history from your trading platform as CSV. Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and TradeStation exports have presets.
- Import it in Profit AI and check the preview. Fills are paired into trades automatically.
- Set your playbook rules: daily loss limit, max trades per day, and session hours.
- Review flagged days, then open Insights to see which hours, symbols, and habits cost you the most.
What Profit AI does not do
Profit AI has no direct TopStep connection, does not track TopStep's trailing drawdown for you, and does not warn you during a session. It is a review tool: it shows you exactly where the rules were broken so the next Combine goes differently.
