Why Propel Audit: the edge after the trade

A trading journal tells you how you traded. Propel Audit follows the money the rest of the way: through the firm's rules, the payout, the fees it took to get funded and the tax you will owe, to the number that is actually yours.

Follow the money all the way

The path from a fill to money you can spend: the trade, the account's rules, the payout, the costs of getting funded, the tax, and what you keep. A trading journal covers the first step. A spreadsheet can cover more, as long as someone keeps it by hand. Propel covers all six from one CSV.

Five reasons it adds up

• Log once, see it everywhere: a payout flows into the split, the tax set-aside and your true net without being typed twice.
• Your firm's rules, built in: drawdown, consistency, splits and payout cycles per account.
• Read-only by design: CSV in, no broker keys out; nothing can place a trade.
• Prop and live, kept apart: funded and brokerage accounts on one desk, never blended into one number.
• See the next step first: what more accounts add up to before you pay for another evaluation.
