The MyFundedFutures journal for Starter, Expert & Milestone.
MFFU's plans play by different rules — some Expert accounts drop the daily loss limit entirely and lean on max drawdown plus a consistency rule instead. GridTrade keeps each plan as a separate account so you can see how you trade under each. Plus R-multiple per trade, daily PnL calendar, emotion 1-5 per trade, setup playbook with live stats. The data is there. The question is whether you'll look.

Why MyFundedFutures traders specifically
1. No daily loss limit? Consistency becomes the rule that matters
Some MFFU plans (Expert being the notable one) drop the daily loss limit and lean on a max drawdown plus a consistency rule instead. That changes everything. GridTrade's calendar and daily-PnL distribution make your consistency visible — you can see whether one monster day is carrying your whole balance, which is exactly what a consistency rule penalizes. Confirm your plan's exact rules on myfundedfutures.com.
2. Max-drawdown awareness via calendar
With the daily loss limit gone on some plans, the max drawdown becomes your one hard guardrail. The calendar view colors each day green/red/grey, so bad streaks are visible from across the room. Filtering by emotion ≥ 4 shows which emotional state most often precedes the red days that eat into your drawdown.
3. R-multiple per trade — apples-to-apples across contract sizes
Trade MES on a Starter, ES on Milestone? Different dollar amounts, same R-multiple. GridTrade normalizes everything to R so you can compare your setup performance fairly across contract sizes. Tick value and tick size are pre-loaded for all the CME contracts MFFU traders use — ES/MES, NQ/MNQ, RTY/M2K, and more.
4. Track Starter, Expert & Milestone as separate accounts
Each plan pulls different behavior out of you — cautious on Starter, aggressive on a no-daily-limit Expert, protective on Milestone. Keep each as its own account with its own calendar and stats, so nothing bleeds together. "My win rate is 60% on Starter but 49% on Expert. Why?" That gap is the lesson most MFFU traders never measure.
5. Emotion as a structured 1-5 field
The biggest difference between disciplined-you and tilted-you is emotional. Tag every trade with emotion 1-5. Filter your performance by emotion state. Watch your win rate collapse at emotion ≥ 4. That's the leak that fails funded accounts — and a setup playbook with live expectancy per setup shows you which "favorite" setups are actually bleeding you.
FAQ — MyFundedFutures & GridTrade
That's the feature MFFU is known for — certain plans, notably Expert, remove the daily loss limit and lean on a max drawdown plus a consistency rule instead. It sounds freeing, but it shifts the pressure: without a daily kill switch, nothing stops one ugly session from chewing deep into your drawdown, and the consistency rule quietly punishes any day that carries too much of your profit. GridTrade is a journal, not a risk gateway, so it won't enforce anything for you — MFFU's own software handles the hard rules. What it adds is visibility. The calendar shows each day's PnL as a colored box, and the daily-PnL distribution shows whether your gains are spread evenly or riding on one outlier. Reviewing red days next to your emotion tags reveals the behavior before it costs you. Always confirm the exact rules and figures for your specific plan on myfundedfutures.com, since they change.
Yes — GridTrade is platform-agnostic and manual-entry by design, so it works alongside any execution platform MyFundedFutures supports, including NinjaTrader, Tradovate, and similar tools. There's no broker connection to configure and nothing to break when a platform updates. The manual entry is a feature, not a limitation: the 60 seconds you spend logging each trade — entry, exit, size, R-multiple, and an emotion tag — is the journaling habit itself. Traders who auto-import everything tend to skim past their own mistakes, because the log fills itself and nobody actually looks at it. Typing it in forces a small moment of honest review right when it matters most, just after the trade. Everything lands on the same calendar and feeds the same stats regardless of where you executed, so a day split across two platforms still reads as one clean record. CSV and statement import is on the roadmap for people who want to backfill their history faster.
Yes. MFFU's consistency rule is about how evenly your profit is spread — a single monster day can't make up too large a share of your total, or the payout is held back. The calendar view and daily-PnL distribution make that visible at a glance: you can immediately see whether your gains come from many steady green days or one or two outliers carrying everything. That's essentially the same data MyFundedFutures uses to judge consistency, so seeing it in your own journal helps you understand your pattern before you risk a violation. If one day is doing all the work, you know to keep grinding smaller, repeatable days rather than swinging for another hero trade. Pair the distribution with your emotion tags and R-multiple and you start to see which setups produce that steady, rule-friendly profit curve. Consistency isn't luck — it's a pattern you can watch build day by day and correct early, well before it threatens a payout.
Yes — just add a separate account for each firm and keep them side by side. Every prop program has its own quirks: FTMO runs a different drawdown and profit-target structure, Apex has its own trailing threshold and consistency expectations, and Topstep sits somewhere else again on daily loss limit and payout rules, while MyFundedFutures leans on max drawdown plus consistency. Keeping each in its own account means the stats, calendar, and R-multiple never bleed together, and you can see honestly which firm's ruleset actually fits how you trade. Many traders discover they're consistently profitable under one structure and repeatedly tripped up by another — and that's a decision the numbers should make, not your gut. The emotion and consistency data carries across all of them, so the habits you build for MFFU transfer straight over. See also: Topstep journal, Apex journal, FTMO journal, funded-account journal.
