Why futures & prop-firm traders switch
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.
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.
An AI mentor that read your journal
It coaches from your own data — trades, rule adherence, and the daily plans and recaps you write — pointing to where you leak R and what to fix next week. It also analyzes chart screenshots and turns voice notes into structured entries.
Free where it counts
Unlimited trades and accounts, the full P&L calendar, expectancy and R-multiple analytics, strategy playbooks and prop-firm cost tracking are free forever. Pro adds the AI layer and automatic broker sync.
To be fair to TradeZella: it's a well-established, polished journal with deep support for stocks, options, forex and futures, backtesting and a large community. If you trade many asset classes it's a strong choice. Master Tracker is the better fit when your world is futures and prop-firm evaluations — and when you want a capable journal that stays 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 TradeZella 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.
