TradeBBFind what's eating your buffer, one prop account at a time
Every evaluation and funded account in one place: FTMO, Topstep, Apex and the platforms they run on. Drawdown and daily results per account, and the trades behind a bad day.
Accounts
Each evaluation on its own, all of them side by side
Add every prop account as its own account in TradeBB, from an FTMO evaluation to a Topstep funded account to your personal broker, and review them one at a time or together.
- Separate by default — evaluation, verification and funded stages never blur
- Funding isn't profit — deposits and payouts stay out of your P&L
- Compare firms — same trader, two rulesets, which one suits you
- Read-only — TradeBB brings in history; it can't place or close a trade
Which firm you passed matters less than which firm's rules you trade well under. Side by side, you can tell.
Drawdown
See the shape of a red day, not just the number
Per account, TradeBB shows the numbers your firm's rules are built on: how deep the account has been under water, how your days have gone, and how long your losing runs really last.
- Drawdown, per account — trade-by-trade max drawdown and a daily drawdown curve
- Daily results — every day's P&L, so one outsized day stands out
- Longest losing run — max consecutive losses, so a bad week has a number
- The day itself — the running P&L curve: where it turned, what came after
Most daily-limit breaches aren't one trade. They're the second and third trade after it.
Tags report
Put a name on the trade that ends evaluations
The rule is the limit. The habit is what reaches it. Tag the trade you took after the loss, rate how you took it, and the report totals what each habit has cost you across every account.
- Tag what you noticed — sized up after a loss, revenge trade, moved a stop
- Rate your own execution — one to five stars, apart from the result
- See the cost — each tag's total P&L across your whole history
- A list with an end — filter to the trades you haven't reviewed yet
A daily loss limit is breached by a sequence. The sequence has a name, and now it has a number. More on the habit itself: revenge trading.
Discipline
Set your own daily line, inside the firm's
The firm's daily loss limit is the line you can't cross. The rules that keep you away from it are yours to set. Put them on the Discipline page, and each day's imported trades are checked against them.
- Max loss per day — one line per evaluation, or one across all your accounts
- Max loss per trade — in dollars, or as a percent of the account
- A stop on every trade — a trade without one shows up in that day's score
- A plan before the open — written before the time you set, every trading day
- A score and a streak — each day is scored, and the streak shows how long the rules have held
What you end up with is a record of every day the rules held, and every day they didn't.
Rules explained
Three rules that end more accounts than the profit target
These are the rules most evaluations are lost on. Check the exact version in your firm's rulebook; the details differ between firms and between stages.
Trailing drawdown. A static drawdown is measured from your starting balance. A trailing drawdown moves up behind you: every new high raises the floor. Run $50,000 up to $52,000 with a $2,000 trailing limit, and the floor follows to $50,000. Give the $2,000 back and you're out, without losing anything overall. How trailing drawdown works →
Daily loss limit. Separate from drawdown, most firms cap what you can lose in a single day. The risk is rarely one bad trade; it's the trade after it, taken larger.
Consistency rule. Some firms limit how much of your total profit can come from a single day. One outsized day doesn't always move you closer to a payout.
Broker sync
A prop firm trading journal for the platforms you trade on
Two ways into your trading journal, depending on where your firm runs. Sync connects once, read-only. Upload brings in your trade history file, a few more steps each time.
- Sync — MetaTrader 4 and 5 (by server name), cTrader, TradeLocker
- Upload — FTMO, TopstepX, ProjectX, PropReports, Nexgen Futures, Alpha Futures
- Upload, platform side — Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, CQG
- Not listed? — upload your history and Any Broker (AI) reads it
Most forex prop firms run on MetaTrader, cTrader or TradeLocker, so for them it's connect once. Futures firms mostly mean an upload after each session.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What should a trading journal for prop firm traders do?
Keep each evaluation and funded account separate, with deposits and payouts out of P&L. Show drawdown and daily results per account. And show the trades behind a bad day, so you can see the habit rather than just the number.
How do I keep an eye on my drawdown in TradeBB?
Pick the account, and the dashboard shows its trade-by-trade maximum drawdown and a daily drawdown curve, built from your trades. Compare them with the limits in your firm's rulebook, which differ between firms and stages.
Can I track several evaluations at once?
Yes. Add each one as its own account, across different firms and stages, and review them separately or side by side. Your prop journal and your personal broker's trades live in the same place without mixing.
Is connecting my account safe for my evaluation?
Connections are read-only. TradeBB brings in your trade history and can't open, change or close a position.
Which prop firms and platforms work with TradeBB?
MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader and TradeLocker accounts sync, which covers most forex prop firms. FTMO, TopstepX, ProjectX, PropReports, Nexgen Futures, Alpha Futures and the futures platforms Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic and CQG come in by uploading your trade history.
Will a trading journal help me pass an evaluation?
It can't pass it for you, and nothing can promise that. What it does is show you which trades and habits used up your drawdown last time, so you can decide what to change before the next one.
Put your accounts in one place. Find the habit.
The next evaluation you lose, you'll know which trade did it, and whether it's the same one as last time.
