Our mission

Why PassTraq exists: the mission

Most prop-firm challenges are not lost to a bad strategy. They are lost to a rule the trader didn't see in time: a trailing drawdown that moved with open profit, a daily loss limit three trades away, a best day that grew into too large a share of the profit.

PassTraq exists to put those rules in front of you while there is still time to act, and to help you build the discipline that keeps an account alive, from the first trade of an evaluation to the payout.

Who PassTraq is for

PassTraq is for futures traders working through prop-firm evaluations and funded accounts, and for traders on their own futures broker account. You might scalp, day trade or hold positions longer; either way, PassTraq works from your own broker account and your own market data.

The whole life of a prop account

One place for the whole life of a prop account: plan the day, trade it, stay inside the rules, review it, learn from it, and document the payout. It is built on your own broker data and your own AI.

PassTraq can't pass a challenge for you, and it guarantees nothing. It makes the rules, the room you have left and your own patterns visible, so the part of passing that is yours to control is always in front of you.

What we stand for

Five principles, each beside its proof

Each principle sits beside a drawing of the screen it governs. Flip the switch to see the state it decides.

1of 5Broker numbers: Trader and up

The broker's numbers come first.

What your broker reports is what you see, with its source and time.

passtraq.com/accounts15:05 UTC

50K evaluation · Rithmic login connected

Balance

$50,730.00

Rithmic · as of 15:04 UTC

Drawdown left

$1,120.00

Rithmic · as of 15:04 UTC

Illustration — numbers invented; the labels are the product’s own.

Proof in the product

  • With your Rithmic login connected on Trader and up, balance and drawdown are your broker’s own numbers, labelled live, with the time they arrived, or stale.
  • Once your broker owns a balance, nothing worked out from your journal can overwrite it. Without a broker login, as on Starter, the numbers come from your trades and say Journal.

Check itWhere each number comes fromThe rules tracker

2of 5Charts and DOM: Trader and up (beta)

Only real market data.

Nothing on a chart or in the DOM is filled in or made up.

passtraq.com/trade15:08 UTC

NQ · 1 min · your feedLast 30725.50 at 15:04

Quiet marketQuiet market — no trades for 4m. The session is live; a quiet market is not a dead feed.

Illustration — prices invented; the status lines are the product’s own.

Proof in the product

  • PassTraq doesn't sell market data. Plans are market-data neutral: charts, the DOM, replay and backtests run on your own broker or Rithmic login.
  • No trades reads Quiet market; a feed that can’t reach you reads Disconnected. Nothing is filled in, and a gap after a disconnect is filled from the provider’s history on reconnect.

3of 5Guardian: Trader and up, off until you set it

You stay in control.

Every order is yours, by click. Our limits never block an exit.

passtraq.com/trade15:05 UTC

Guardian on: your own limits

What happens to each order
Buy 1 more, no stopRefused
Buy 1 more, 40-tick stopGoes through
Sell 1 to scale outGoes through
FlattenGoes through
Cancel a working orderGoes through

Guardian · per-trade cap 25% of room ($280): this entry has no stop, so it risks the whole room ($1,120) — add a stop or raise the cap

Illustration — long 2 NQ, $1,120 of room; numbers invented. The verdicts are Guardian’s own, at its starting limits.

Proof in the product

  • Every order is a click. No keyboard shortcut places an order, and no AI can.
  • Guardian lets you set your own limits, stricter than the firm's. It refuses an order that would break them, and never blocks an exit, a flatten or a cancel.

4of 5On every plan

No guessing.

When a value is unknown, PassTraq shows "—" instead of inventing one.

13:47NQ, long 1−$260.00−1.04R
14:58NQ, long 1−$250.00—

R on the 14:58 trade No stop on record and no default stop for NQ

Illustration — numbers invented; each R uses the product’s own rule.

Proof in the product

  • R is your net P&L over the risk you planned: the stop on your order’s bracket, a stop or risk you typed, a risk column in your import, or your default stop for the symbol. With none of them, R reads “—”.
  • A firm value PassTraq has not verified is labelled, or not calculated at all, never guessed.

What PassTraq does

Seven parts of one prop account

From the plan to the payout. The plan beside each part is the lowest one that opens it.

  1. Plan, test and automate

    Pro and up

    Backtest a strategy on your own data, see which of a firm’s rules would end it, then run it as signals, staged orders or sim.

    Strategies and automation

  2. Trade

    Trader and up (beta)

    Charts, footprint and a click-to-trade DOM in your browser, on your own Rithmic login, with brackets held at your broker.

    Futures trading platform

  3. Stay inside your firm's rules

    Starter

    Rulebooks for 23 prop firms, and the room you have left before each rule on every screen.

    Prop firm rules tracker

  4. Journal and review

    Starter

    Trades synced or imported, a plan and a review each day, and every day graded at 17:00 CT on the rules you set.

    Trading journal

  5. Learn with others

  6. Use your own AI

    Trader and up

    Your own Claude reads your rules and trades and writes your briefs. It can’t place an order.
