Replay any trade on your broker’s own chart.

Every synced trade plays back tick by tick on your broker’s own prices. Watch the candle form, your fills land and your stop and target move, exactly as it happened.

Pro · Recorded from the app on a demo account

One terminal.
Everything you trade with.

MetaTrader 5 auto-sync

Your trades, already there.

Run the agent once. Press Sync and every closed trade arrives from MT5 with size, entry, exit, swap and commission. Re‑syncing never duplicates a thing.

  • EUR/USDShort−$125.00

Private by design

Your account, read only.

The sync app runs on your own computer and reads your MetaTrader. It sends your closed trades, account equity and the chart around each trade. Your password is stored encrypted and only your own computer ever uses it.

  • Runs on your own computer
  • Your password is encrypted
  • Read-only: never places a trade

AI trade review

Graded on process. Not profit.

Every trade scored on stop placement, reward-to-risk and whether you followed your own plan, with one specific thing to fix.

B+

“Defined stop and a clean 1:2.4 reward-to-risk. No written thesis. Note the setup before you click.”

Insights

See where your edge actually lives.

Sessions, pairs, weekdays and a P&L calendar, plus equity, drawdown and Monte Carlo, so the pattern stops hiding in the spreadsheet.

Pip, your AI mentor · Pro

A mentor that knows your journal.

Ask anything about your trading. Pip answers from your own trades, accounts and today’s plan, like a prop-desk risk manager would. It never hands out signals.

What is my biggest leak right now?

Losses past your stop. 6 of your last 20 trades lost more than 1R, which cost more than your last two winning weeks. Next session: stop means stop, no widening.

The Terminal

Check in. Keep the plan. Close the day.

Rate your mood and sleep, set a trade cap and a stop for the day, take a cooldown after a loss, and build a journaling streak.

Risk Guardian

Midnight isn't a new day.
Not for your prop firm.

FTMO's day turns over at midnight in Prague, not at yours. Keep trading past your own midnight thinking the daily limit has refreshed, and you may still be spending yesterday's. The Guardian measures every limit on your firm's own clock.

Example night at UTC+5:30
New York session
Your new day
FTMO's new day · 03:30
18:0021:0000:0003:0006:00

Losses here still count toward the previous day's limit.

On your firm’s clock.

12 firms’ reset times and drawdown rules built in, daylight saving included. Anything we haven’t verified is flagged as an assumption, never guessed silently.

Trailing floors, followed.

Where your firm trails the max loss behind your best daily close, the Guardian tracks that floor, not your starting balance.

The limit that stops you first.

Daily and max loss reduced to one number: the headroom that actually binds, right now.

Set up once.
Then it just runs.

  1. 1

    Bring your trades in.

    Sync from MetaTrader 5 with the desktop agent, import a file from any platform (futures fills included), or add a trade by hand.

  2. 2

    Pick your firm.

    Tell us who you trade with. The reset clock and drawdown rules follow, so your limits are measured the way your firm measures them.

  3. 3

    Trade your plan. Ask Pip.

    Check in before each session and keep to the plan. Every trade is graded on process, Insights shows what really pays, and Pip tells you what to fix next.

Questions? Answers.

  • Who is The Pips Project for?

    Any trader who keeps a journal: forex and CFD traders, prop-firm challenge traders, and futures, crypto or stock traders too. The one difference is how your trades get in: fully automatic sync covers MetaTrader 5 and NinjaTrader 8 today, and everyone else imports a CSV or statement, drops in a chart screenshot for the AI to read, or types trades in. Every other feature (analytics, AI review, the prop-firm Risk Guardian, the journal itself) works exactly the same whatever you trade.

  • How do my trades get into the journal?

    Four ways, and you can mix them freely. Auto-sync pulls closed trades straight from MetaTrader 5 and NinjaTrader 8; a CSV or HTML export from almost any platform imports directly; a chart screenshot or a PDF statement can be read by AI; and manual entry is always there. File import and manual entry work with any broker or platform, on every plan.

  • Is my trading account safe?

    Use your investor (read-only) password. It lets us read your trade history but can never place trades, move orders, or touch your funds. The MetaTrader login runs on your own machine, not our servers, and any credentials you save are encrypted at rest. Disconnect anytime.

  • Do prop firms allow automated syncing?

    Some prop firms and brokers prohibit automated tools or software logins. It is your responsibility to confirm it is allowed on your account. If you are unsure, skip auto-sync entirely and use AI statement import or manual entry. Neither one logs into your account.

  • Which brokers and platforms are supported?

    Automatic sync works with any MetaTrader 5 broker, including the major prop firms (FTMO, FundingPips, MyFundedFX, The5ers) and hundreds of retail brokers. Everything else journals just as well without it: MT4, cTrader and TradingView export a CSV or statement you can import in seconds, and futures fill exports from Tradovate or NinjaTrader are paired into complete trades automatically, with P&L from the exchange contract specs, and AI statement import or manual entry covers anything that does not. NinjaTrader 8 auto-syncs through a free add-on, and direct Tradovate and cTrader connections are coming soon.

  • Do I need a VPS or a complicated setup?

    No VPS. On Windows it is a small background app that starts with Windows and updates itself in one click; on Mac or Linux it is a MetaTrader plugin that runs inside your terminal. Keep it running while you trade so it can also save your stop loss and take profit, which MetaTrader forgets once a trade closes.

  • How often do trades sync?

    Whenever you press Sync now, when the app starts, and on its own every few minutes while you have trades open. Only closed trades are imported as trades, and re-syncing never doubles one.

  • What does the AI trade review actually do?

    It grades each trade on process, not profit: risk placement and reward-to-risk, how well execution matched your stated thesis and confluences, discipline, and trade management. Then it gives a letter grade and a specific coaching note referencing your actual numbers.

  • What is the difference between Pro and Elite?

    Pro is the full journal: auto-sync, trade replay on your broker’s own chart, the AI features on a fast model, full Insights and the Risk Guardian. Elite adds Pip Elite on our smartest model with higher limits, the Strategy Lab, which turns a strategy you describe into exact rules and backtests it on your broker’s history in seconds, and Deep Insights such as R-multiples, how much of each move you kept, and how your check-ins relate to your results.

  • What is Pip?

    Pip is the AI trading mentor built into The Pips Project, available on Pro. Ask it anything about your trading, like your biggest leak, whether a trade was a good one, how to size against a prop-firm daily limit, or how to handle a losing streak. Pip answers from your own journal, accounts and daily plan, keeps your chats in a history you can rename or delete, and never gives buy or sell signals or market predictions.

  • Is there a limit on the free plan?

    The free plan covers 100 trades in total, with one trading account, file import (CSV/HTML) and your core stats: win rate, P&L, profit factor and the equity curve. The 100 counts every trade you log, so deleting trades does not free up slots. Auto-sync, AI features, advanced analytics and unlimited trades are Pro.

  • Can I cancel anytime?

    Yes. No contracts and no cancellation fee. Cancel from Settings, under Billing, and you keep access until the end of the billing period you have already paid for. You can also downgrade from Elite to Pro there. Your data stays yours, and you can export it from the Journal whenever you like.

  • Do you store my trading data?

    Yes. It is stored on our servers so it syncs across your devices, encrypted at rest and in transit. You can export your trades from the Journal, and delete your data or your whole account from Settings, at any time.
