If you're paying TraderSync's upper tiers while trading prop-firm capital, you're paying more for a journal that isn't built around your actual constraint. The RB Trading Pro Journal tracks daily and max drawdown live against your firm's rules, warns you before a trade breaks your limits, auto-syncs MT4/MT5, and reports everything in R-multiples, at $29.99/mo with a free tier and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
