If you're already journaling trades in TradeZella, you can link those existing accounts directly to PropFirm Sync — so your trading data and prop firm finances are connected in one place.
How to Connect an Existing Account
Step 1: Go to your PropFirm Sync dashboard by clicking the Flag icon in the left sidebar, or navigate directly to app.tradezella.com/challenges.
Step 2: Click + Track prop firm account button.
Step 3: Enter your Challenge nickname.
Step 4: Search for and select your Funding firm.
If your firm is supported, choose which challenge you're trading — the rules will be automatically filled in based on your selection. Proceed to Step 6.
If your firm isn't supported yet, type the firm name manually and proceed to Edit Rules to fill in your challenge details yourself.
How to Edit Rules
Step 5: Click Edit rules to configure your prop firm account rules.
Start by entering your Balance amount (account size), or select a preset — 25K, 50K, 75K, 100K, 150K, or 200K.
Then set the following rules for Step 1:
Minimum trading days
Trading period end (days) — Or check Unlimited if there's no time limit
Profit target — Enter as % or $
Max daily loss — Enter as % or $
Max drawdown — Select the drawdown type (Static, EOD, or Trailing) and enter as % or $
Best Day Consistency Target — If your firm has this rule, enter the % threshold (e.g., your best profitable day must be below 50% of your total profit)
If you have a 2-step challenge, fill in the Step 2 rules as well. If Step 2 uses the same rules as Step 1, click Same rules as Step 1 to copy them over automatically.
Then fill in your Funding rules:
Max daily loss
Minimum trading days
Max drawdown
Best Day Consistency — If applicable
If the Funding phase uses the same rules as Step 1, click Same rules as Step 1 to copy them over automatically.
Click Done when finished.
Step 6: Enter the remaining challenge details:
Strategies — Optional, but recommended for analytics
Evaluation fee + Activation fee
Account phase — Evaluation or Funded
Account status — Active or Breached
Number of steps — 1 Step or 2 Steps
Account Setup
Step 7: Under Account Setup, select Customize accounts.
Step 8: Based on the number of steps you selected, you'll see a slot for Step 1, Step 2, and Funding. Select the existing TradeZella account you want to attach to each step. If you leave a slot blank, a new account will be created automatically.
💡 Please note: Selecting Customize accounts will let you attach an existing TradeZella account to each step slot. If you select Automatic accounts, a new TradeZella account will be created and added to your tracking dashboard automatically.
