Questions? Answers.
Who is The Pips Project for?
Any trader who keeps a journal: forex and CFD traders, prop-firm challenge traders, and futures, crypto or stock traders too. The one difference is how your trades get in: fully automatic sync covers MetaTrader 5, NinjaTrader 8 and cTrader today, and everyone else imports a CSV or statement, drops in a chart screenshot for the AI to read, or types trades in. Every other feature (analytics, AI review, the prop-firm Risk Guardian, the journal itself) works exactly the same whatever you trade.
How do my trades get into the journal?
Four ways, and you can mix them freely. Auto-sync pulls closed trades straight from MetaTrader 5, NinjaTrader 8 and cTrader; a CSV or HTML export from almost any platform imports directly; a chart screenshot or a PDF statement can be read by AI; and manual entry is always there. File import and manual entry work with any broker or platform, on every plan.
Is my trading account safe?
Use your investor (read-only) password. It lets us read your trade history but can never place trades, move orders, or touch your funds. The MetaTrader login runs on your own machine, not our servers, and any credentials you save are encrypted at rest. Disconnect anytime.
Do prop firms allow automated syncing?
Some prop firms and brokers prohibit automated tools or software logins. It is your responsibility to confirm it is allowed on your account. If you are unsure, skip auto-sync entirely and use AI statement import or manual entry. Neither one logs into your account.
Which brokers and platforms are supported?
Automatic sync works with any MetaTrader 5 broker, including the major prop firms (FTMO, FundingPips, MyFundedFX, The5ers) and hundreds of retail brokers. Everything else journals just as well without it: MT4, cTrader and TradingView export a CSV or statement you can import in seconds, and futures fill exports from Tradovate or NinjaTrader are paired into complete trades automatically, with P&L from the exchange contract specs, and AI statement import or manual entry covers anything that does not. NinjaTrader 8 auto-syncs through a free add-on, cTrader connects by signing in with your cTrader ID, and a direct Tradovate connection is coming soon.
Do I need a VPS or a complicated setup?
No VPS. On Windows it is a small background app that starts with Windows and updates itself in one click; on Mac or Linux it is a MetaTrader plugin that runs inside your terminal. Keep it running while you trade so it can also save your stop loss and take profit, which MetaTrader forgets once a trade closes.
How often do trades sync?
Whenever you press Sync now, when the app starts, and on its own every few minutes while you have trades open. Only closed trades are imported as trades, and re-syncing never doubles one.
What does the AI trade review actually do?
It grades each trade on process, not profit: risk placement and reward-to-risk, how well execution matched your stated thesis and confluences, discipline, and trade management. Then it gives a letter grade and a specific coaching note referencing your actual numbers.

What is the difference between Pro and Elite?
Pro is the full journal: auto-sync, trade replay on your broker’s own chart (for MetaTrader 5 trades), the AI features on a fast model, full Edge analytics and the Risk Guardian. Elite adds Pip Elite on our smartest model with higher limits, the Strategy Lab, which turns a strategy you describe into exact rules and backtests it on your broker’s history in seconds, and Deep Insights such as R-multiples, how much of each move you kept, and how your check-ins relate to your results.
What is Pip?
Pip is the AI trading mentor built into The Pips Project, available on Pro. Ask it anything about your trading, like your biggest leak, whether a trade was a good one, how to size against a prop-firm daily limit, or how to handle a losing streak. Pip answers from your own journal, accounts and daily plan, keeps your chats in a history you can rename or delete, and never gives buy or sell signals or market predictions.
Is there a limit on the free plan?
The free plan covers 100 trades in total, with one trading account, file import (CSV/HTML), one message a month with Pip and your core stats: win rate, P&L, profit factor and the equity curve. The 100 counts every trade you log, so deleting trades does not free up slots. Auto-sync, AI features, advanced analytics and unlimited trades are Pro.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Pro and Elite come with your first 5 days on us, so you see what your own trades reveal before you pay. Then your plan simply continues at the price shown at checkout. One trial per person. Cloud Sync, which runs a private server for you, starts with your first payment.
Do trades from my phone sync too?
Yes. MetaTrader on your computer sees your whole account, so trades you place on your phone or tablet arrive the next time it syncs, with their stop loss and take profit. Keep MetaTrader running on your computer while you trade, or use Elite’s Cloud Sync, which runs even when your computer is off.
Can it tell my initial stop from a trailed one?
Yes, with the MetaTrader plugin (2.0 or newer). It records every change to your stop and target, from any device, so each trade shows the stop you planned, where you trailed it, and whether you moved it further away. A stop moved further into loss is tagged "Moved stop" by itself, and Edge shows what that habit costs you. Remove the tag on any trade and it stays removed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts and no cancellation fee. Cancel from Settings, under Billing, and you keep access until the end of the billing period you have already paid for. You can also downgrade from Elite to Pro there. Your data stays yours, and you can export it from the Trades page whenever you like.
Do you store my trading data?
Yes. It is stored on our servers so it syncs across your devices, encrypted at rest and in transit. You can export your trades from the Trades page, and delete your data or your whole account from Settings, at any time.
