Works with
Topstep Trading CombinesTopstep funded accounts

Your Topstep accounts sit in one profile, next to personal, evaluation and funded accounts from other brokers and firms. Tradovate, Rithmic and MetaTrader 5 also sync automatically. For brokers without auto-sync, you upload a statement.

How auto-sync works

Connect in three steps

  1. 01

    Get your API key.

    Find it in your TopstepX settings.

  2. 02

    Enter your username and key.

    Add your TopstepX username and that API key in Zentralog.

  3. 03

    Your trades come in.

    Past trades arrive as far back as TopstepX allows. After that, new trades sync automatically several times a day in the background, and again whenever you open Zentralog. There is no file to upload.

Inside Zentralog

What you see once your trades are in

Zentralog dashboard with Net P&L, win rate, profit factor and a daily cumulative P&L curve

Dashboard

Net P&L, win rate, profit factor and streaks, plus the daily cumulative P&L curve, a monthly P&L calendar, P&L by weekday, edge by session and a time heatmap. Several customizable dashboards you switch between.

Zentralog Prop Tracker showing Topstep Trading Combines checked against profit target, daily loss limit and drawdown floor

Prop Tracker

This is your Combine tracker. Every Combine, funded and breached account sits on one screen, each checked against its firm's rules: profit target, minimum trading days, daily loss limit, and drawdown with its floor. Fees, resets and payouts give you a net result and ROI per firm. When an account is breached, you see which rule closed it. You also see how you trade on each account.

Zentralog Time analytics showing your strongest hour and session and a time heatmap of futures trades

Analytics

Six tabs: P&L, Time, Instrument, Execution, Risk and Simulation. Risk shows max and current drawdown, drawdown duration and the drawdown curve. Simulation runs 5,000 Monte Carlo paths of your next trades and shows how sizing changes the outcome.

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

Consistency Hub

Add your own rules on top of the firm's: trading hours, max trades per day, daily max loss, notes required. Zentralog checks each day and shows today's compliance, your clean streak, your longest streak and your compliance history.

Zen Score

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

Notebook

Notes in folders, templates and tickable checklists, with charts and linked trades inside each note. Keep your Combine plan and your daily review in one place.

Read-only by design

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

You can still add or edit trades by hand and set your own commissions and fees.
