For prop futures traders
Stop giving it all back.
Every journal tells you what you did after you blew up. Ballast is the layer that tells you to stop before you do — it watches your trailing-drawdown cushion, catches the revenge trade in the moment, and grades the one thing that actually matters: whether you followed your own rules.
Built by a trader who spent ten years learning this the hard way.
Three things every journal gets wrong
1
Trailing-drawdown cushion, liveProp accounts live or die by how much room you had to the floor when you took the trade. Ballast puts that number front and center — and knows the difference between intraday and end-of-day trailing.
2
Revenge caught in the momentTag a trade revenge, FOMO, or boredom, and see your real edge by tag. Then Ballast warns you inside the tilt window — the five minutes after a loss where accounts die.
3
Graded on rules, not P&LA green day where you broke your rules is a failing day. Ballast scores adherence and tracks your clean-day streak, because the streak is what compounds.
