Prop firms

Built for traders who buy evals.

Most journals treat you like you have one account. You have five, two of them blown. Vantrell tracks each one by its own rules.

  • Max loss todayOne number each morning: how much you can lose today before you break your daily limit or your trailing drawdown.
  • Your firm's rules, filled inType "Apex 50K" and the target, drawdown, daily limit and consistency rule fill in. Works for Apex, Topstep, MFFU, Tradeify, Take Profit Trader and Lucid.
  • One trade, many accountsCopy-trading three evals? Log it once and it lands on all of them.
  • Fees vs payoutsThe number nobody else shows you: are prop firms paying you, or are you paying them?

FAQ

Questions.

Is it really free?

Yes. Accounts, sync, analytics and CSV import are free. Later there will be a paid tier for things that cost us money to run, like automatic broker sync and AI reviews. What's free now stays free.

Where are my trades stored?

With an account, your journal is saved to a secure database in the EU and syncs to every device you sign in on. Only you can see your trades. Without an account, everything stays in your browser on that device. Read the privacy policy for the details.

Do I need an account?

No. You can try the whole journal without one. Sign up when you want your trades on your phone and computer and safe if you clear your browser. Trades you logged before signing up move into your account automatically.

Which markets does it work with?

P&L is calculated automatically for MNQ, NQ, MES, ES, MGC, GC, MCL and CL. For anything else (forex, crypto, stocks) pick "Other" and type the dollar P&L.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The whole journal works on a phone browser, so you can log a trade right after you close it.

Which prop firms does it support?

Any of them. Type the firm and size in the account name, like "Apex 50K", and the rules fill in for you for Apex, Topstep, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify, Take Profit Trader and Lucid. For any other firm, type in the target, drawdown and limits once. Fees fill in automatically for Apex, Topstep, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify, Take Profit Trader, Lucid, Top One Futures, Bulenox, AquaFutures and DayTraders.com. For any other firm, type your rate once or let "Match my fees" work it out from your real P&L.
