All 4 Drawdown Types, Handled Automatically

Different firms use different drawdown rules. Challenge Mode applies the correct type automatically based on the profile you select.

Trailing End-of-Day

Drawdown floor updates only at end of day based on your highest closing balance. Used by Apex, Topstep, Earn2Trade and others. Intraday spikes above your floor do not lock in.

Trailing Intraday

Drawdown floor trails your highest intraday equity in real time. Every tick of unrealized profit raises the floor. Used by some smaller firms and specific account types.

Static

Fixed dollar amount below your starting balance. The floor never moves regardless of profits. Used by FTMO, FundedNext (some account types), and The5ers.

Trailing-to-Static Lock

Starts as trailing, then locks to a fixed floor once your balance hits a threshold (e.g., starting balance + drawdown amount). Used by My Funded Futures.

Futures: Tick-Level Data, Proper Contract Specs

Most prop firm evaluations are futures-based. The TradesViz simulator has tick-level data for all major contracts with proper tick sizes, point values, and margin calculations.

  • ES, NQ, YM, RTY (indices)
  • CL, GC, SI, NG (commodities)
  • MES, MNQ, MCL (micros for smaller accounts)
  • 5-second to 60-minute bars, 100x speed, 70+ indicators

Forex: Pip-Based Stops, All Major Pairs

Forex prop firms like FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, FXIFY and FundedTradingPlus allow forex trading. Practice their evaluations with full forex support in the simulator.

  • EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD and 50+ pairs
  • Pip-based, dollar or price-level SL/TP
  • Lot size calculator from risk budget and pip distance
  • Session-aware trading (London, New York, Tokyo)

Would You Have Passed? Find Out Before You Pay.

The Retroactive Evaluation feature runs your real trade history through any prop firm's rules. Get a definitive PASSED, FAILED (with the exact reason and date), or ACTIVE result in seconds.

Go deeper with Rolling Window Analysis: specify a window size (e.g., 30 days) and get a pass rate across every possible window. Maybe your Apex 50K pass rate is 45% but Topstep 50K is 72% because the drawdown type suits your style better.

Simulator Trades Feed Your Compliance Dashboard

Every trade from the simulator is auto-saved to your journal. When you assign a prop firm profile to that account, the compliance dashboard lights up: drawdown buffer gauge, profit target progress, daily loss tracker, consistency score, trading days, worst drawdown, MFE/MAE analysis and more.

Use Trade Replay to replay your real past trades in the simulator second by second. Your actual executions appear on the chart automatically so you can review what happened and spot what you missed.

PK and the whole team at TradesViz.com have put together an outstanding product with exceptional features. PK provides the most excellent support in the chat help. And if something really isn't working quite right or as expected, they get busy to make it better. I originally signed up for TradesViz to have the simulator function which also gave me the statistical analysis I could use to improve my trading. I had been using a simulator which had almost no analysis. When TradesViz added the simulator function I gave it a try. At first I had a hard time making it work, but with patient explanation from PK and with some tweaking on functionality from the coders on the backend, they have delivered a super trading simulator. The trade analysis part of TradesViz is second to none. I've gained the insight into my trading weaknesses and strengths to be able to trade much better in my live account. This is the service you need!

TradesViz has made a huge difference in my trading and has positively impacted my trading for the better in psychology and profit.

I use it DAILY and have noticed the vast improvements being made, not only in profit but also in my mental approach to trading.

TradesViz is a true leader in Trade Journaling Software. They offer extensive statistical data at an amazing price that almost seems too good to be true. You have access to an amazing support team that seems to be active at all hours of the day. My support agent helped me through a complex import issue and had it solved within 24 hours. I can't tell you how blown away I am with their software and their service. I'm more than happy with my experience and so excited to see what new features they bring to the table as they continue to grow their business. If you're on the fence, I encourage you to jump right over and take it for a spin with their risk-free trial. Thanks to all the TradesViz team members who continue to make my Trade Journaling efficient and effective.

GREAT PRODUCT AND EVEN BETTER CUSTOMER SUPPORT!

I have been using TradesViz for a few months and it is a fantastic tool. Prior to subscribing, I was spending hours on xls trying different tables and layouts and only getting frustrated (or overcomplicating things!). Now I have everything in one place (I have multiple trading accounts), and I have probably only explored 10% of the tools and data analytics!

BUT, what has really impressed me is the support: I have NEVER in the last 10 years had such instant, professional support from a company at (almost) anytime of the day or night!
Clearly this is a team that is passionate about their product and that will always translates into innovation and better experience & value to the customer.
Well done to the team!!

After only a short time of using TradesViz, I can confirm that this platform is exactly what I have been looking for.  It takes the chore out of journaling – the number of stats, data, and information available on my trades is a complete game-changer.  The importing process via MT4 file is extremely easy and the automated charts with entries are amazing.  The whole process is extremely easy and helps to keep me accountable for my trading by having a professional system to manage my business.  The platform is very comprehensive and takes a bit of time to get used to, but they have many videos on their YouTube to help with this as well as their support team. 

 

Their support is exemplary and gets back to all my queries in well under 30 minutes with comprehensive answers and solutions to my questions.

 

This platform is absolutely essential for any trader and I would highly recommend it to any of my trader friends looking for a journal. If you don’t have this platform, you are seriously missing a trick here…

Thanks, PK from TradesViz for being extremely helpful and patient in resolving my syncing issue. Certainly one of the best online support I have ever experienced. Even though it took a while for me to get my settings right, I never felt rushed...I appreciate that. Hope to stay with you guys for a long time. Certainly would like to learn how to utilize most of the features on TradeViz.

In my opinion, the TradesViz platform is truly the Ferrari of journaling software available today. Once you are under the hood, you begin to realize that in fact what sets it so far apart is all the advanced analysis at your fingertips. Such as the ability to combine multiple portfolios, live charting, and much more. Their support is world-class, in my case personally, I needed integration with Trend Spider’s backtesting engine. What I imagined might take weeks was literally accomplished overnight. Factor in rock bottom prices and you have all you need for whatever you're searching for. Newer traders will find that one of the most basic recipes for success is meticulous record keeping, simply observing your account profit and loss go up, or just down as the case may be, is the first step on the road to ruin if your serious about trading.

I'm writing this testimonial as appreciation for this surprisingly pleasant
conversation.

Upon my initial support request, TradesViz's support was impressively swift. A response appeared every single time as soon as I closed my email tab. Not only did I receive incredibly helpful information about features I wasn't aware of, but the team was also genuinely enthusiastic about discussing my feature requests and ideas about the industry. Truly awesome people!

In terms of raw analytics, comparison, and filtering capabilities, there is no match for TradesViz. I also don't know of any other trading journals that offer so much for the price, their free version has pretty much everything you would need if you trade stocks and offer so many of the paid features that are on other websites for free. They have templates for almost every broker and if it's not there, their support team is only 1 email or message away and will work with you to include your broker on their platform. By far the best support I have gotten from any trading journal as they are open to feedback and feature requests and are very active on their chat for any questions. A trading journal built by traders, for traders.

I wish I had TradesViz when I started to trade ten years ago. I had to learn the hard way. It provides everything you need to maximize your wins and minimize your losses. 

There’s a learning curve but once you get past that your trading will surely be taken to the next level.

As a full-time trader, the first pivot point in my trading results came after I started to learn from Mark Minervini - this is when I stopped losing $$$. The second pivot point came after I started to analyze my results - this is when I started to be consistently profitable $$$.

I love that TradesViz works for Options, Stocks, Crypto! It has automated and manual uploads. It has all the important metrics and analysis that you will need and it is fully customizable.

I have tried pretty much most of the products out there, and TradesViz wins by a mile - highly recommend it! Thanks to PK and the team!

I was looking for a solution to journal my trades on multiple platforms to keep track of my PNL. I stumbled upon TradesViz and I have nothing but positive to say about their service. Not only does their product make it so easy to see how you are doing on your trades with the various graphs and filtering options, getting your account synced is super intuitive. Best of all their customer service is top-notch. Every time I have asked a question, they have responded within a few hours with a solution, and sometimes that involved programming custom solutions for me to make my life easier. It's a no-brainer for me to pay for the yearly service. Do it, you won't regret it.
