PROP FIRMS

Prop Firm Trading Journal, Track FTMO, Topstep, Apex Separately

Evaluations, funded accounts, personal accounts, each with different rules, drawdown limits, and payout mechanics. Aurafy Pro separates them cleanly so your stats aren't a mixed bag of eval phase + live cash + sim. Track multiple prop firms in one journal without the analytics getting polluted. (Free covers 1 account; Pro unlocks unlimited accounts and prop-firm rule tracking.)

Why traders can try Aurafy safely

Aurafy is a young, independent trading journal. It earns trust by keeping the local app usable without an account, making desktop data exportable, and being clear about which features are free and which require Pro.

Local-first desktop
Your desktop journal works locally; cloud sync is optional.
No lock-in posture
Desktop data lives in SQLite and can be exported/backed up.
~50% off the stack
Aurafy Pro is $49/mo, replaces the ~$103/mo stack of journal + screen recording + bar-replay backtester. The backtester chart is free for everyone; Pro unlocks unlimited simulated trades, history jumps, analytics and exports.

Multi-account setup

Pro lets you create an account per prop firm entity: "Topstep Eval $50K," "Topstep Live $50K," "Apex Eval $25K," and so on. Tag each trade to an account either manually or via CSV import (Tradovate and NinjaTrader include account identifiers in their exports, so this is usually automatic). Stats then filter per account, so your expectancy on your Topstep funded account isn't diluted by your $100 sim account. The Free tier includes 1 trading account; unlimited accounts is a Pro feature.

Tracking drawdown against the rule

Each prop firm has a trailing drawdown rule, usually $1500 or $2500 depending on account size, either EOD or intraday. Aurafy Pro's prop firm rule tracking lets you set the rule per account, and the dashboard shows your current drawdown vs limit. Pulling up the number after every few trades is the single best way to avoid account blowouts at the end of evaluations.

Copying strategies across phases

When you pass an eval and start the funded account, the typical mistake is to change nothing about the setup tags and psychology tags, then struggle to figure out why your funded P&L diverges from your eval. Aurafy keeps the tags identical across accounts so you can directly compare: same setup, different account, any systematic bias in your live-trading psychology becomes visible.

Fee differences

Prop firm fee schedules can differ meaningfully from discount broker fees and can change over time. Aurafy lets you set per-account fee overrides so your net P&L reflects the actual fees for that account, not a one-size default. This matters because drawdown rules are based on net P&L, not gross.

Withdrawal tracking

When you get paid out, log the withdrawal against the account. Aurafy's accounts page tracks account balance over time, so you can see your cumulative payouts from funded accounts separately from the "paper" balance growth. Useful for tax records and for honest self-assessment of your prop-firm ROI.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Aurafy integrate directly with TopStep or Apex?
Both use NinjaTrader or Rithmic-based platforms under the hood. Export executions from the platform and auto-import into Aurafy. Direct API integration isn't supported, most prop firms don't expose one.
Can I track multiple concurrent evaluations?
Yes, Pro includes unlimited trading accounts, so traders running 3–4 concurrent evals can keep each one separate. The Free tier covers 1 account.
What about the consistency rule on Topstep?
Aurafy doesn't enforce firm-specific rules (too many variations), but tags like "high-day" let you flag trades that violate consistency constraints so you can see the pattern.
Is there a sim-vs-live split?
Yes, tag each account as Sim, Eval, or Live in Settings. Stats can include or exclude sim from aggregates with one toggle.
