Why challenges fail

Most challenges aren't lost to a bad strategy.

They're lost to a rule breach nobody was watching for.

Set a max risk per trade and get scored on every trade that exceeds it.

Risk creeping up on a trade you felt sure about

A daily loss limit is rarely breached by a run of normal trades. It goes when risk quietly creeps up on a position you felt sure about.

Rules quietly slipping after a couple of losses

Two losses in, the position sizing goes up and the stop comes off. Nobody plans that, and afterwards it's hard to see how much it cost.

Rules you set being scored on every trade

Rule compliance shows the share of trades that followed your rules — and the P&L of the ones that didn't.

Built for the challenge

Everything a prop trader's journal needs to earn its keep.

Your risk, your rules, your record — in one place, from evaluation to funded.

Risk sized in R

Log risk per trade in R multiples before you take it, so a losing day is a known, bounded number — not a surprise.

A hard cap on risk per trade

Set a maximum risk percentage and a maximum number of trades per day, and every trade is checked against both.

Drawdown in your weekly review

Your max drawdown on the R curve is calculated for you each week, alongside win rate, best setup and costliest mistake.

Tilt rules that hold

Stop trading after a set number of consecutive losses, require a stop on every entry, and keep to one session.

Account-type labels

Every account is tagged prop, live, demo or competition, so a challenge account is never confused with your own money.

MT5 sync

If your firm runs MT5, closed trades land automatically on Pro — verified and locked so the record can't be edited later.

One journal for both phases of the challenge.

Whether you're mid-evaluation or already funded, the discipline that gets you there is the same discipline that keeps you there.

  • Log every trade

    From evaluation through to funded, tagged by account so nothing gets mixed up.

  • Cap risk per trade

    With a max-risk rule, and a process goal for staying under it.

  • Stop after N losses

    A rule that flags the trades you took past your own cut-off — the same pattern personalised insights show clearly: win rate drops after two straight losses.

How it works

Set the rules once. Journal every trade against them.

Three steps, whether you're on your first evaluation or your fifth funded account.

Set your rules

Choose a max risk per trade, a cap on trades per day, a minimum reward-to-risk, whether a stop is required, a session, and when to stop after consecutive losses.

Log every trade

Journal entries, exits, risk and notes for evaluation and funded accounts alike, tagged prop so they never mix with live or demo.

Read the compliance, not the P&L

Each week, see the share of trades that followed every rule, what the ones that didn't cost you, and your max drawdown on the R curve.

The challenge tests your strategy for a couple of weeks. Staying funded tests your discipline for a lot longer than that.

Prop firm journal — frequently asked

What is a prop firm trading journal?

A prop firm trading journal is where you log every trade from your evaluation and funded accounts — entries, exits, risk, notes — so you can see your risk, consistency and rule compliance in one place instead of piecing it together from a broker statement.

Does TradingSocial connect to my prop firm's dashboard or enforce their rules?

No. TradingSocial doesn't connect to any prop firm's dashboard, and it doesn't read, detect or enforce a firm's rule set. It's your own journal: you set your own trading rules inside it, and it scores your logged trades against those.

What trading rules can I set and track?

Max risk per trade as a percentage, maximum trades per day, a minimum planned reward-to-risk, requiring a stop on every trade, a session restriction, and no trading after a set number of consecutive losses. Rule tracking is on the Trader plan.

Does it sync with my prop firm's MT5 account?

If your firm runs MT5, connecting your account lets closed trades sync automatically on the Pro plan, verified and locked so results can't be edited. Sync only covers MT5 — other platforms need manual logging.

Can I keep my challenge account separate from my live and demo trading?

Yes. Every account you add carries a label — prop, live, demo or competition — so a challenge account's stats never get mixed into your live track record, or the other way round.

For prop firm & funded traders

Keep the record that shows how you trade under a rule set.

Set your rules, size your risk, and log every trade from evaluation to funded account.
