Prop Firm Mode tracks your trailing drawdown, daily loss limit, minimum trading days, and consistency rule in real time — for FTMO, Apex, Topstep, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader and 5 more. Every trade you log updates the guardrails live. No surprises.
It's not strategy. It's not even discipline. Most prop firm busts happen because the trader forgot a rule existed at all. Trailing drawdown resets overnight on some firms but not others. Consistency rules flag you if one day accounts for more than 30% of your total P&L. Minimum trading days don't count Sunday sessions on futures. The rulebook for a single firm can be 14 pages. You have nine evaluations running.
Generic trading journals like TradeZella, TraderSync, and Tradervue don't track any of this. They log trades. They give you win rates. They don't tell you when you're one bad trade from busting. That's the gap Prop Firm Mode was built for.
Prop Firm Mode reads your logged trades and simulates each firm's rulebook live. You see exactly how much daily-loss budget you have left, what tomorrow's trailing drawdown will be, and whether your consistency ratio is about to trip. The numbers update every trade. You know before you click.
Each firm supported has its own rule engine baked in — because a $50K FTMO account is not the same as a $50K Apex account. Trailing drawdown mechanics, daily-loss reset times, consistency formulas, and news-trading restrictions are all firm-specific.
Updates with every trade. Knows whether your firm trails on EOD balance or on realized high-water mark.
Resets at the firm's specific cutover time — some at 5pm ET, some at 4pm CT. Handles the edge cases.
Counts only days that actually qualify under the firm's definition. Sundays and holidays handled correctly.
Flags when one day is trending too hot relative to your total — before you trip the 30% or 50% threshold.
Shows the exact dollars left to pass — adjusted for the firm's definition of realized vs open P&L.
Warns you if you're about to enter during a restricted window on firms that ban high-impact news trading.

Prop Firm Mode is for any trader running one or more funded-account evaluations at once. That includes:
A generic journal tells you what happened after the trade. Prop Firm Mode tells you what your rule exposure looks like before the next one. It simulates each firm's rulebook against your live positions, so you know exactly how much daily-loss room you have — or whether the next losing trade breaches trailing drawdown — before you click.
No. All 10+ supported firms ship with their rulebooks pre-configured. Pick your firm, pick your account size, and Journali handles the math. If a firm updates their rules, we update the engine within 48 hours.
Yes. Stack three Apex $50K accounts, an FTMO $100K, and a Topstep $150K side by side. Each has its own drawdown, daily-loss, and profit-target tracker. Unlimited accounts on any paid plan.
We add firms based on user requests. If 10+ users request a firm, it usually ships within 2-3 weeks. Email [email protected] with the firm name and rulebook.
Included in Pro ($20/mo) and Premier ($30/mo). The Free plan limits you to 6 trades total, so it's not really usable for evaluation tracking — but you can upgrade anytime.
Most prop firm busts are avoidable. Real-time rule tracking catches the technicalities before they cost you the account.
