What makes PropLedger different
A rule engine, not a hardcoded number
PropLedger resolves your daily loss limit and trailing drawdown by firm, account size and account type. A 25K Apex evaluation reads its own limits; a 100K Apex reads its own. Your distance-to-the-line gauge is always computed from the rules you actually trade under.
LIVE and BACKTEST kept honest
Every trade is tagged at import. A dedicated comparison view puts your real fills next to your TradingView Strategy Tester results so the gap between tested edge and live execution is impossible to average away.
Automatic capture, zero busywork
The Chrome extension auto-populates your Tradovate fills tagged LIVE. CSV import handles Rithmic (LIVE) and TradingView (BACKTEST) history, with a preview that flags duplicates before anything is saved.
Probability with guardrails
Fourteen charts and analytics — win rate by setup, R-multiple distribution, time-of-day performance — each computed from your own history and shown with its sample size and confidence interval, so you know exactly how much to trust a number.
