Comparison
FundedNotes vs Tradezella — focused vs broad trading journals.
Tradezella is a polished multi-asset trading journal with strong analytics. FundedNotes is futures-first and prop-firm-first: Tradovate OAuth, live trailing drawdown distance, multi-account roll-up, and a journal built around the realities of running prop accounts.
Futures + prop firm focused vs broader multi-asset
Read-only Tradovate OAuth with 5-minute pg_cron sync
Live drawdown distance using the prop-firm trailing rule
Multi-account prop trading is a first-class workflow
Where FundedNotes is different
FundedNotes is futures-first. Tradovate OAuth is read-only and syncs every 5 minutes. Trailing drawdown is computed against the live prop-firm rule. The dashboard expects you to be running several prop accounts at once — which most futures traders actually are.
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, connect Tradovate, 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?
FundedNotes uses a direct read-only Tradovate OAuth that syncs every 5 minutes server-side and immediately when you focus the dashboard tab. Tradezella supports many brokers but typically relies on CSV imports for prop accounts.
Does FundedNotes show prop firm drawdown the same way as the firm portal?
Yes. FundedNotes computes the live 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 intraday.
Can I connect multiple prop firm accounts?
Yes. Elite plans connect a separate Tradovate login per prop firm. FundedNotes tracks each account independently and rolls them up into a single portfolio view.
Pricing?
FundedNotes has a Free tier and Lifetime Elite option. See the [pricing page](/pricing) for the current feature matrix and prices.
