Why futures & prop-firm traders choose Master Tracker
True prop-firm ROI
Most journals show gross P&L. Master Tracker ledgers your evaluation fees, resets, activations and payouts — so you see your real return per firm, not a number that ignores what the challenge cost you.
The AI layer at half the price
TMI's paid plans run roughly $39–$69 a month. Master Tracker's AI analysis — built from your own trades, rule adherence, and the daily plans and recaps you actually write — is part of one $19.99/month plan ($199/year).
Futures-first, by design
Contract specs for ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, GC, CL and more are built in, so P&L, points and R-multiples calculate automatically — no spreadsheet of tick values, no manual math on micros.
Free where it counts
Unlimited trades and unlimited accounts, the full P&L calendar, expectancy and R-multiple analytics, strategy playbooks and prop-firm cost tracking are free forever — not capped at two accounts. Pro adds the AI layer and automatic broker sync.
To be fair to TMI: it's a polished, genuinely AI-first journal — an AI voice assistant, weekly AI reports, and live 1-on-1 sessions with their team on its top tier — and its MT4/MT5 sync makes it a natural pick for forex traders. Master Tracker is the better fit when your world is futures and prop-firm evaluations, when you also trade stocks or options through a brokerage, or when you want the AI layer without a $39–$69 monthly bill. Master Tracker sells software only — no sessions, courses or services — and its journal core is free.

Questions
Is Master Tracker really free?
Yes. The core journal and analytics — unlimited trades and accounts, P&L calendar, expectancy and R-multiple stats, strategy playbooks, notebook and prop-firm cost tracking — are free forever. AI features and automatic broker sync are part of Pro ($19.99/month or $199/year).
Can I import my history from TMI or my broker?
Yes. Master Tracker's CSV import auto-detects columns from Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TopstepX, Thinkorswim and most platforms, and you can sync read-only from Charles Schwab plus 20+ brokers via SnapTrade. Manual entry is fast too, with live hold-time and planned risk-reward as you type.
Does Master Tracker support stocks and options?
Yes — equities and options work via CSV import, broker sync and manual entry (options use the correct ×100 contract multiplier). The product is tuned for futures and prop-firm workflows, but it isn't limited to them.
