Topstep Trading Journal: Protect Your Funded Account
Stop relying on a basic spreadsheet to pass your Combine. In the futures market, a single emotional session can breach the Daily Loss Limit and reset your progress. TradeBB turns your raw execution logs into a professional topstep trading journal, helping you monitor risk and spot the behaviors that threaten your funding.
The Conflict: Blind Spots Cause Rule Breaches
Topstep provides a dashboard for your balance, but it doesn't analyze your behavior. Relying on manual notes or generic templates creates dangerous blind spots:
- Invisible Drawdown Risks: You know that you lost money, but do you know when your equity curve starts to decouple from your strategy?
- Time-Consuming Data Entry: Manually calculating tick values and multipliers for NQ or ES takes focus away from the charts.
- Lack of Pattern Recognition: You might be failing Combines repeatedly because of trading during low-volume hours, but a simple list of trades won't show you that correlation.
The Solution: Import, Analyze, and Pass
1. Centralized Futures Log (No Manual Math)
Whether you export from your trading platform or dashboard, you don't need to manually type in entry prices or calculate gross vs. net P&L. Simply import your trade report. The system organizes your Trade Log instantly, handling the futures contract details for you.

2. Visualize Your "Buffer Zone"
In a Topstep Combine, the Max Trailing Drawdown is your enemy. TradeBB visualizes your Equity Curve on the Trading Journal Dashboard. See the slope of your performance. If your curve is flattening or dipping, you can adjust your position sizing before you hit the firm's hard breach level.
3. Audit Your Execution Times
Are you trading the chop during the lunch hour? The dashboard analyzes your history to show Win Rate and P&L by Hour of Day. Use this data to create a strict "No Trade Zone" rule for yourself, cutting out the sessions that consistently drain your daily loss buffer.

The Workflow: Your Daily Review Routine
The goal of a topstep trading journal is to keep you disciplined enough to get funded—and stay funded.
- Export: Download your trade history report (CSV/Excel) from your trading platform or Topstep dashboard.
- Import: Upload the file to TradeBB. The Any Broker (AI) engine reads the file and populates your journal.
- Review: Check the Dashboard to ensure your drawdown is stable, and tag any impulsive trades as "Tilt" to measure their cost.

Topstep FAQ
Does this work with my specific trading platform?
TradeBB supports imports from most major futures platforms via CSV export. The Any Broker (AI) feature helps map your file's columns to our standard format automatically.
Can I track both my Combine and Express Funded Account?
Yes. You can create separate "Accounts" (portfolios) within TradeBB to keep your evaluation data separate from your funded account data.
Does TradeBB warn me if I hit the Daily Loss Limit?
TradeBB is a post-trade analysis tool. It visualizes your daily performance and drawdown trends to help you review your proximity to limits, but you should always verify real-time breach status on your Topstep dashboard.
