With your real trades
Would your real trades have passed?
Journalcade replays the trades you actually took against a firm’s evaluation, day by day: where you’d have passed, failed or still be going.
- Would I pass? on Apex, Topstep and Take Profit Trader sizes, or your own Pro
- Evaluation accounts with the target, drawdown, daily loss and consistency rule
- Funded accounts with the buffer and payouts tracked
Questions
Quick answers.
Is this my real chance of passing?+
It’s your averages played forward, not a forecast. Real trades vary more than an average, and a drawdown that trails your highest balance can be hit by a trade that dips before it wins, which this can’t see. Treat it as a guide.
Which firm rules does it use?+
Starting points for Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, Take Profit Trader evaluations, the same ones Journalcade’s account form fills in. Firms change their rules, so check yours, or pick My own rules and type them.
Why can a winning average still fail?+
A losing streak can reach the floor before the profits add up. Try a smaller average loss or fewer trades a day and watch the dots.
What is the consistency rule?+
Some firms want no single day to be too big a share of the profit. Where the firm has one, a try only passes once its best day is under that share.
