For futures prop traders
An honest journal for the prop grind.
PX Journals pulls every fill straight from the broker and does the math a prop trader lives by. P&L computed from those fills net of fees, distance to target, distance to blown, and exactly what still stands between a trader and a payout.
Sign in with Google or a one-time code, no password to invent. The app opens on demo data. Manual trades, CSV imports and journaling are free. Automatic sync starts with 14 free days for eligible accounts, card upfront, then $15 a month.

Broker sync
Trades arrive on their own.
Connect TopstepX and PX backfills what the broker still holds, newest days first, then keeps up trade by trade. Nothing to type, nothing to upload, nothing to forget on a bad day. Tradovate returns once its API access is restored.
Synced trades are read-only. Tags, reflection answers and the account nickname stay editable; a fill never is. Anything logged by hand stays visibly marked manual, forever.
Sync is polling, not a live feed, and the page says so: every account shows when it last updated. When a connection breaks it goes loud inside the app with a reconnect button, and it never turns into an email.
Every P&L number is computed from the trader's own fills.
A win is a trade that made money after costs. Break-even trades are scratches and stay out of the win rate. Fees come from the broker itemizing them; failing that, from a per-account rate the trader sets; failing that, from the firm's published fee table; and where none of those exist, the trade carries no fee at all rather than a guessed one. Anything not broker-reported is labeled estimated. Balance stays the broker's own figure, and where it disagrees with the fills by more than the fees reported, PX shows the gap instead of picking a side.
Prop-firm native
Ten mirrored accounts is not an edge case here. It is the job.
PX detects copied trades across accounts and links them into one group, so a trade is journaled once, not ten times. Each account still tracks its own firm's rules: profit target, drawdown type, daily loss limit, consistency, payout terms. Every account also carries a governor: distance to target and distance to blown, as of the last sync. The payout checklist names every rule with the exact number that meets it or blocks it.
The rules come from a maintained public catalog. Every firm and plan we track is an open page with a source link, the date we last checked it, and a button to tell us when a firm changes a rule. Where a firm publishes nothing, the row says so rather than borrowing a number from somewhere else.

Money log
The real P&L of prop trading is the one nobody logs.
Every evaluation bought, every reset, every activation fee, every payout that actually landed, dated and attached to the account it belongs to. PX subtracts one from the other and names what a firm has genuinely cost or paid.
The log is manual, so it is exactly as complete as the trader makes it, and PX never guesses a price nobody entered. Promos, coupons and price changes would turn a price catalog into a lie, so there is not one.
Stats
The hours and the tags that cost the most.
Every stat slices by tag, by hold time, by day of the week and by hour of the session, with the biggest winner and the biggest killer named. Numbers pool across every account by default, and the same picker everywhere narrows them to one firm, one account, or any combination of the two.
Journaling
A journal that actually gets kept.
Tags, chart screenshots, and reflection questions on every trade and every day. The questions belong to the trader: write them, reorder them, retire them in settings. Nothing is required, so a two-word answer on a rough day still counts, and editing a question later never rewrites an answer already given.
The calendar shows the month the way a trading day cuts, at the 6 PM ET session roll, not midnight. Daily P&L, trade counts and week totals, with the day notes attached where they happened.

Sharing
A share carries exactly what was ticked.
Any trade, day or recap becomes a share page at a link that never changes. What appears is chosen checkbox by checkbox, per share: P&L, size, entries and exits, account names, reflections. Anything left unticked is not hidden by the page, it was never copied onto it.
Every share is a frozen snapshot. What lands in the group chat stays exactly that, forever, whatever gets traded next. Take the link down and the page is gone, not hidden.

Four things PX does not do.
The platform is the cockpit. PX is the mirror: it reads fills and statements, and has no order placement, modification or cancellation capability.
Governor warnings, payout progress and rule changes live in the in-app notification center and nowhere else. No push, no drip, no marketing mail. Besides the sign-in code, PX sends a notice three days before the trial ends.
Unknown reads "not published", estimated reads "estimated", and a rule we cannot compute is printed as the firm's own words rather than turned into a score.
One click exports fills, trades and journal to CSV. A full takeout hands over everything in the account, attachments included. Deleting the account takes down every share made from it.
Automatic sync: 14 free days, then:
No questionnaire and no setup wizard: signing in opens a working dashboard. Manual trades, CSV imports and journaling are free. The card is asked for when connecting automatic sync, and eligible accounts start their trial there.
Cancel any time. Canceling a subscription does not delete retained history or start a deletion countdown. Journaling stays free. History remains readable and fully exportable.
