The trading journal built for TopStep
TopStep has the strictest daily loss limit in the prop firm industry — 3%. Zentrade shows your live P&L against that limit after every single trade.
TopStep evaluation rules
TopStep is one of the most beginner-friendly prop firms — no consistency rule, no min days — but the 3% daily loss limit is unforgiving.
What Zentrade tracks for your TopStep account
The TopStep 3% daily loss limit is the evaluation killer. Zentrade puts a live counter in front of you so you never accidentally cross it.
- Daily P&L tracker with live 3% daily loss limit alert
- Static drawdown tracking from initial balance (6% floor)
- Profit target progress bar (6% goal)
- Equity curve with drawdown limit line
- Import trades from NinjaTrader, Rithmic, Tradovate via CSV
- Multi-account dashboard — evaluation and funded side by side
Why traders fail TopStep (and how to avoid it)
Hit the 3% daily loss limit in the first hour of trading after a bad news event
Daily P&L alert shows the exact dollar threshold for your account — you know when to walk away
Account is profitable overall but one bad day wipes the 6% drawdown buffer
Equity curve with static drawdown line shows how much buffer you have left at all times
No minimum trading days creates a 'go big early' mentality that blows accounts fast
Position size history and daily average help you trade consistently, not aggressively
Lose track of where the profit target and drawdown stand when trading across multiple sessions
Dashboard shows profit target progress and drawdown used — updated after every trade logged
