2. **Journal the challenge**
   Daily loss, rules, the reason for every trade. The record is what you review when it gets tight.
3. **Publish the funded record**
   A public page with a funded lane, verified from the broker, that a firm or a backer can read.

Verified rooms

## Rooms with a seal we mint.

Prop firms run verified rooms for their funded traders. A call posted from a synced prop account carries the Firm-Verified badge, which says the trade was read from the firm’s server.

- Firm-Verified badge on calls from synced prop accounts
- Rooms run by the firms themselves
- Firm updates posted without a login

Funded boards

## Ranked among funded traders only.

The Boards keep a funded lane. Every seat on it was read from a broker, so the traders beside you are as real as you are.

- Funded and own-capital lanes
- Verified records only
- A seat opens the day you publish

DT Scholarships

## Your record can pay for the next evaluation.

Ten logged trades, one backtest and a 14-day streak is the application. DT Scholarships pays an evaluation of up to $25K in full and takes nothing from the account.

- Open to members on every plan
- Fee paid in full
- You keep 100% of payouts

Per account

## Every account has its own numbers.

Evaluation, funded and personal accounts are kept apart, each with its own drawdown, expectancy and rules, and compared when you want them side by side.

- 3 linked broker accounts on Plus, unlimited on Pro
- Daily loss and drawdown per account
- One journal across all of them

What a funder sees

## A funded record that proves itself.

A public page with a funded lane, verified from the broker, that a firm or a backer can read.

- Your journal stays private
- Only the record you choose to publish is public
- Trades read from the firm’s server, never typed

A DT Passport, as anyone who opens the link sees it.

FAQ

### Which prop firms can I connect?

Any firm that gives you an MT4, MT5 or TradeLocker login, which is 88 named firms in the catalogue plus the generic rows for the rest. Futures firms that run on Tradovate connect too, NinjaTrader logins on Tradovate included, and their accounts sync.

### Does the firm see my journal?

No. Your journal is private. Only the record you choose to publish is public, and a Firm-Verified badge only says the trades came from a synced prop firm account.

### Is the connection safe for a funded account?

It is read-only. DT Terminal can see fills and balances and can never place, change or close a trade on the account.

### What does firm-verified mean?

Firm-Verified is the seal on a synced prop firm account. The trades were read from the firm’s server, so the numbers were pulled rather than typed and the capital is the firm’s. It does not mean the firm reviewed the record.

### How do I get the free evaluation?

Meet the three requirements on the funded accounts page, then apply inside the app. Scholars are chosen on merit each cycle.

## Journal the evaluation you are in right now.

Free to start, with one TradeLocker account synced free. MT4 and MT5 start on Plus.
