Trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for everyone. VeloTape is for journaling and analytics only — we do not provide investment advice or trade recommendations.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect trading results.

Prop Desk

Free

See your prop firm buffers after trades close

Prop Desk reads closed trades and shows daily loss, trailing drawdown, profit targets, and payout readiness as in-app gauges — with a warning when you are near a limit. Works with Apex, Topstep, and custom rules on Free. Firm portals stay authoritative.

  • Daily loss and trailing DD buffers from closed trades (not live MTM)
  • In-app warning near limits; breach chip when a limit is hit — not email or push
  • Payout checklists for programs like Apex PA / Topstep XFA; lifecycle events you log manually
