Works with

Challenges, funded accounts and personal accounts sit together in one profile, next to accounts from other brokers and firms. If you also trade futures, Tradovate, Rithmic and TopstepX sync automatically too. For brokers without auto-sync, you upload a statement.

How auto-sync works

Connect in three steps

  1. 01

    Enter your MT5 login.

    The same login you use in MetaTrader 5.

  2. 02

    Pick your server.

    Choose it from the list.

  3. 03

    Your trades come in.

    Past trades arrive as far back as your broker allows. After that, new trades sync automatically several times a day in the background, and again whenever you open Zentralog. Nothing to install in MetaTrader.

Zentralog Prop Tracker listing MT5 prop firm challenges and funded accounts against each firm's rules

Prop Tracker

Every challenge, funded and breached account from every firm on one screen. Each is checked against its firm's rules: profit target, minimum trading days, daily loss limit, and drawdown with its floor. Fees, resets and payouts per firm give you a net result and ROI. For a breached account, you see which rule closed it.

Zentralog Time analytics with strongest hour and session and hourly edge profile of forex trades

Analytics

Six tabs. Time shows your strongest hour and session, your average hold time and an hourly edge profile. Instrument shows which pairs and symbols pay and which don't. Execution shows what your entries and exits cost you. Risk covers max and current drawdown and drawdown duration. Simulation runs 5,000 Monte Carlo paths of your next trades.

Zentralog Consistency Hub with today's compliance, clean streak and compliance history

Consistency Hub

Write your own rules, such as trading hours, max trades per day, daily max loss or notes required. Zentralog checks each day against them and shows today's compliance, your clean streak, your longest streak and your history.

Zen Score

One number from 0 to 100 for how you trade, built from profit factor, max drawdown, average win/loss, discipline, win rate, consistency and recovery.

Notebook

Notes in folders, templates and checklists you can tick, with charts and linked trades inside a note.

Read-only by design

Zentralog only reads your trades. It never opens, changes or closes a position, and it is not a broker.

Next to your trades you also get an economic calendar, a market clock with every session, a headlines feed and weekly COT positioning. You can add or edit trades by hand and set your own commissions and fees.
