What Tradezella does well

Tradezella has a polished interface, mature analytics, and good multi-asset coverage. If you trade across stocks, options, and forex, the breadth is a real advantage.

Where FundedNotes is different

FundedNotes is futures-first. Trailing drawdown is computed against the prop-firm rule, and the dashboard expects you to be running several prop accounts at once — which most futures traders actually are. Live read-only Tradovate sync pulls your fills on demand, or import via CSV.

Pick the right tool for your workflow

For multi-asset journaling across many brokers, Tradezella is a strong choice. For prop firm futures traders who want a journal that natively reflects firm rules and multi-account life, FundedNotes fits more naturally.

No-commitment trial

FundedNotes’s Free tier lets you sign up, import your trades via CSV, and try the workflow before paying. No card required on the free plan.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use FundedNotes or Tradezella?

If your trading is centered on Tradovate-linked prop firms — Apex, Tradeify, MyFundedFutures — FundedNotes is built for that workflow. Tradezella is broader and covers stocks, options, and forex well; if you trade multi-asset, the broader coverage might suit you better.

How does the broker integration compare?

Both support CSV import for prop accounts. FundedNotes also offers live read-only Tradovate sync — a direct OAuth that pulls your fills on demand when you click "Sync & Read Trades".

Does FundedNotes show prop firm drawdown the same way as the firm portal?

Yes. FundedNotes computes the trailing drawdown distance using Peak Equity − Trailing Spread — the actual rule prop firms evaluate against — so the number matches what your Apex / Tradeify portal shows.

Can I track multiple prop firm accounts?

Yes. Use live read-only Tradovate sync on demand per firm, or import a separate CSV per prop firm — FundedNotes tracks each account independently and rolls them up into a single portfolio view.

FundedNotes has a Free tier and Lifetime Elite option. See the [pricing page](/pricing) for the current feature matrix and prices.
