An FTMO trading journal that tracks your two-step challenge rules.

The FTMO two-step challenge enforces profit targets, a max daily loss and a max drawdown, and the funded account keeps trading inside similar limits. Your journal should track daily loss, drawdown, progress toward the current step's profit target, plus win rate and profit factor — and record the setup, entry, exit, size, tags and notes for every trade. DuskAnalyst computes those analytics from your closed trades and tracks demo, live and funded accounts side by side. In our 2026 audit we checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, and the brokers table on our home page shows the evidence for each one.

On Free, log trades manually or import them from your platform via CSV — that covers manual journaling of a challenge at $0, with no card required. FTMO runs MT4 and MT5, so Pro at $25 per month auto-syncs MT4, MT5 and cTrader and every closed trade lands in the journal automatically, with unlimited accounts, AI insights and full export. The journal never sees your broker password or login credentials; only your closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.

Yes. The journal calculates your daily P&L for every trading day and tracks current drawdown against your configured limits, so you can see how close you are to the max daily loss or max drawdown before you place the next trade. You set the limits to match your account. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek. The Free tier covers two accounts, which is enough to track a challenge; Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts and auto-sync.

A payout depends on repeatable results, not one outsized day. The journal shows your win rate, profit factor and daily P&L distribution, and AI insights let you ask questions of your own history — like which sessions or setups produce your losses. Weekly reports keep the pattern visible, so you arrive at reviews with evidence instead of memory.

It helps you know exactly where you stand in both steps: current drawdown, daily loss, progress toward the profit target, win rate and profit factor are always visible. It does not guarantee passing a challenge — no journal can — and DuskAnalyst is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by FTMO. The execution and the risk decisions remain yours; the journal just makes them visible.
