PropLens — Know your edge before the prop firm takes your money
PropLens
see your strategy clearly
For prop-firm traders

Your edge, in real numbers.

Describe your strategy in plain English. PropLens turns it into a real backtest, runs it against a firm's actual limits — trailing drawdown included — and tells you the odds of passing before you pay the fee.

The four result cells are real engine output — an actual backtest, Monte Carlo, walk-forward and prop-firm simulation of that strategy over 5+ years of Nasdaq-100 data, run with conservative fills, slippage and commissions. The animated fan and the survival surface above them are illustrations of the same analysis, not renderings of that specific run. Returns are shown in R multiples (risk units), never in currency. Past results never guarantee future performance, and your own results depend entirely on your own strategy and the firm you choose.

Questions about billing

The plan questions people actually ask us, answered plainly.

Can I upgrade to Pro + Research from Pro?

Yes — one click inside the app, under your profile → Plan. It changes the subscription you already have rather than starting a second one, so you're never paying for two plans at once.

Does it matter how far into my month I am when I upgrade?

No. You can upgrade on day 1 or day 29. You only pay the difference for the days left in your current cycle — never more than the $20 gap between the plans, and less the further in you are. Your billing date doesn't move, and from the next cycle you're simply on $69/month.

Will I ever get charged twice in one month?

No. Upgrading modifies your single existing subscription, and you see the exact amount — taken straight from Stripe — on screen before anything is charged.

What if I use all my research reports?

Top up with 10 more for $12, any time, as often as you like. Or move up to Pro + Research for 40 a month if you're refilling regularly.

Can I cancel or downgrade whenever I want?

Yes, from the same Plan screen — it opens Stripe's billing portal. You keep full access until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you're not charged again after that.

Is the Free plan a trial?

No. Free is free indefinitely — full 5-year backtests, all 26 markets, the strategy builder and the help assistant, with no card required and no countdown. Upgrade only when you want Monte Carlo, the prop-firm planner and the AI tools.

Everything in the lab

Built for retail futures traders — no coding, no spreadsheets, no guesswork.

AI strategy translation

"Buy the 15-minute breakout, stop at the range low, 2R target, done by noon" — that sentence becomes a fully-parameterized, backtestable strategy in seconds.

Institutional-grade backtesting

Bar-by-bar simulation with conservative fills, slippage, and commissions over 5+ years of history. Free data included; bring your own CME/Databento data if you want it exact.

Monte Carlo & walk-forward

Thousands of alternate histories from your real trades: equity bands, drawdown odds, risk of ruin — plus walk-forward proof your edge holds on data it never saw.

Prop-firm cost planner

Accounts across 9 firms. Simulates the whole journey — attempt, reset, retry — and prices it: pass odds, expected attempts, typical and worst-case cost to funded. One click runs every firm at once.

Eval Copilot

Mid-evaluation, log today's P&L and get live pass odds, buffer to your floor, and a payout-gate check against the firm's consistency rule — before you find out the hard way.

Journal & Fidelity Report

Import fills from Tradovate, NinjaTrader or TradersPost to see where live drifted from plan — then the part nobody else does: PropLens re-runs your firm's rules at the slippage you actually got, so you see what your real execution does to your odds of passing.

Replay Trainer

PropLens deals a mystery historical session bar-by-bar while your saved strategy trades the exact same day beside you — trade manually and see if you can out-trade your own system.

Multi-account dashboard

Running more than one funded account? Track equity, buffer and consistency status for every one of them in a single view.

AI market research

A live web-searching analyst writes cited briefs on volatility, firm rules, and market conditions — then proposes rule adjustments and tests them against your strategy automatically.

26 markets, free

Indexes, metals, energy, FX, crypto and mega-cap stocks — 5+ years of history each. Load one at a time, swap whenever you like.

Pine Script export

One click turns your strategy into a TradingView Pine v6 script — pre-wired for TradersPost, with the correct contract month already in it.

Survival surface

Position size on one axis, trading days on the other, and your odds of keeping the account as the height. It shows you the cliff — the size where survival collapses — because risk doesn't scale smoothly and most traders find that edge by going over it.

Position sizing

The largest size your firm's rules actually allow, from four independent ceilings — fractional Kelly, barrier-optimal, distance to your limits, and current volatility. Shown as consequences, not instructions.

Volatility cone

Where today's market sits against everything it has ever done, by horizon. Measured from the regular session only — your firm flattens you by the close, so overnight gaps are risk you never take and shouldn't be sized for.

Deployment tracking

Automations don't fail loudly — they stop. PropLens tracks the two dates yours breaks on, the TradingView alert lapsing and the quarterly contract roll, and emails you before each.

Your automation will stop. Nothing will tell you.

Two dates quietly end most automated futures strategies. PropLens is the only tool that watches both.

1

Your TradingView alert lapses

On Essential and Plus, TradingView caps an alert's life at about 60 days — only Premium and Ultimate offer open-ended alerts. When it expires the alert simply stops. No email, no banner. You notice when you realise you haven't taken a trade in a week.

2

The contract rolls under you

Futures contracts roll every quarter, and TradingView gives no way to automate it — the symbol is baked into your alert. TradersPost rolls on expiry dates while TradingView rolls on volume, so during a roll week a signal on one contract can execute against another.

3

Editing your script doesn't help

TradingView keeps a server-side copy from the moment you create an alert. Change your strategy and the running alert keeps trading the old one — so the fix is to delete and recreate it, which almost nobody knows.

What PropLens does about it

  • Exports Pine that's already wired. Every order carries its own TradersPost payload and today's explicit contract symbol — no JSON to write, no symbol to look up.
  • Tracks both dates per strategy and emails you before each, with the new contract code and a one-click link back to regenerate.
  • Sends you to your firm first. A pre-written permission email, and somewhere to keep the reply — because whether your firm allows this is a contract question, not a technical one.
  • Never asks for your webhook URL, broker login or API key to do any of it. That goes into TradingView, not into PropLens. There is nowhere in the app to enter it.

What it won't do: trade your account while you're away. Apex forfeits funds for fully automated systems on funded accounts, and Topstep requires trading activity to originate from your own device. PropLens generates, tracks and warns — you stay the one at the wheel. Anyone promising otherwise is selling you a closed account.

What you're probably wondering

Straight answers before you commit to anything.

Do I need to connect a broker or account?

No. PropLens is pure analytics — nothing connects to your money. You test ideas here, then trade them wherever you already trade.

Where does the market data come from?

Five-plus years of Nasdaq-100 5-minute data ships free. Want exact CME MNQ bars? Paste your own free Databento key or upload any CSV — your data stays yours.

Will this tell me I'll make money?

No, and run from anything that says it will. PropLens shows you the honest distribution of outcomes your strategy produced in the past — including the ugly ones — so you can decide with open eyes. Past performance never guarantees future results.

I'm new. Will I understand any of this?

Yes — every stat has a plain-English explainer, and the built-in help assistant answers "what does profit factor mean?" style questions instantly, for free.
