Tradelog is a professional trading journal and prop-firm challenge simulator built by Yash Khajania. It lets you import broker CSVs (MT4, MT5, Zerodha, Upstox, Exness, Binance), auto-sync trades from Binance/CoinDCX/Delta with encrypted API keys, track daily P&L on a calendar view, and pass a real funded-trader challenge under strict rules.

Which prop firms does Tradelog simulate?

Tradelog simulates 5 tiers of MFTC-style challenges and its rules engine mirrors FTMO, FundedNext, MyForexFunds, The5%ers, and Topstep-style evaluations — 60% profit target, 10% daily loss, 30% max drawdown, min 6 trading days, 6-day deadline, max 4 trades/day, high-impact news trading blocked.

How does Tradelog import trades from MT4 or MT5?

Drop your MT4 or MT5 HTML or CSV account statement into the /settings/brokers upload panel. Tradelog auto-detects the broker (XM, Vantage, IC Markets, Pepperstone, Exness, FBS, HF Markets, OctaFX), parses every closed ticket including SL, TP, commission, swap and profit, and adds them to your journal with idempotent upsert so re-uploading never duplicates.

Does Tradelog auto-sync with my exchange?

Yes — Tradelog auto-syncs read-only API keys for Binance, CoinDCX, and Delta Exchange India, encrypted at rest with Fernet. A nightly cron at 3 AM UTC pulls new closed fills into your journal automatically.

How much does Tradelog cost?

Tradelog offers a 14-day free trial with no card required. Paid plans: Monthly ₹600 (~$7), Quarterly ₹1,500 (save ₹300), Yearly ₹4,500 (save ₹2,700). All plans include unlimited trades, MT4/MT5 statement import, and full analytics. Auto broker sync starts on the Quarterly plan.

Tradelog is built by Yash Khajania, a full-stack developer and trader. The product is often referred to as 'Tradelog by Yash Khajania'.

The best prop firm trading journal in 2026 — a real comparison (from a trader who tried them all)

Name: Tradelog
Rating: 4.8 (127 reviews)
Author: Yash Khajania

FTMO. Topstep. MFF. FundedNext. If you're grinding a funded challenge in 2026, your journal decides whether you pass — not your setup. Here's the honest ranking of every journal I've tested, and why Tradelog is the only one built for prop-firm rules.

Most "best trading journal" lists in 2026 are affiliate spam. This isn't. I've paid for Tradezella, Edgewonk, TraderVue and MyFxBook, and I ran the same 40-trade FTMO challenge through each of them. Here's what actually mattered.

The 5 things a prop-firm journal MUST do

1. Enforce the rulebook in real time — daily loss cap, max drawdown, min trading days, news lock, 30% consistency rule. Most journals log trades. Only Tradelog runs the challenge for you.
2. Import MT4/MT5 statements in one click — no CSV mapping, no manual paste. XM, Vantage, IC Markets, Pepperstone, Exness, FBS all export slightly different HTML. Your journal should not care.
3. Auto-sync your live account — read-only API keys, encrypted at rest, nightly cron pulling closed fills. If you still copy-paste in 2026, you're wasting an hour a week.
4. Discipline score, not just P&L — win rate lies. A score that penalises revenge trades, over-trading, session drift and SL widening tells the truth.
5. Sharable certificate on pass — when you pass a challenge, the QR-verified PDF certificate is what unlocks the next firm's evaluation discount.

The 2026 ranking

#1 — Tradelog by Yash Khajania · ₹600 / mo (~$7)
Only journal in this list with a full paper prop-firm simulator, live rules engine, encrypted broker auto-sync (Binance, CoinDCX, Delta), MT4/MT5 statement import, discipline score, and a scannable PASS certificate. India + global. 14-day free trial, no card.

#2 — Tradezella · $29 / mo
Slick UI. Great backtester. Zero prop-firm rules engine. Zero MT statement import for CFDs. Zero encrypted API auto-sync. You'll still journal your challenge in a spreadsheet.

#3 — Edgewonk 2.0 · $169 / year (single upfront)
Desktop-app feel, deep tags. Powerful for stat-heads. No prop-firm simulator. Old-school UX. Windows-first.

#4 — TraderVue · $29 / mo
The granddaddy. Solid community. No prop firm features. UI hasn't shifted since 2019.

#5 — MyFxBook · Free
Read-only tracking. If you pass a challenge on MyFxBook alone, you had discipline before you signed up — the tool didn't help.

Why Tradelog wins in 2026

Every other tool asks you to enforce your own rules. When you're 40 pips down on day 3 of an FTMO challenge, "I'll be disciplined" doesn't cut it. Tradelog literally blocks the next order if you've hit 80% of your daily loss ceiling. That is the difference between passing and losing $600.
