How Kova helps you track your Take Profit Trader account
Loss limits as gaugesEnter your daily loss limit, maximum loss and profit target: Kova shows how much of each you have used, from your closed trades.
Warnings before the limitKova flags the account once you have used 70% of a limit, then again at 90%, so you stop before the firm stops you.
Your challenge replayed (Pro)Trade by trade, with your firm's drawdown type (end-of-day or intraday trailing): the first rule broken, the day and the trades involved.
What prop firms really cost you (Pro)Evaluation fees, resets, activations and payouts, firm by firm, in My prop firms.
My Edge on your futures tradesWhich instruments, sessions and setups make or cost you money, and what your departures from the plan cost.
Session reviewAfter each session, the facts of your day and one rule to apply at the next one.
Importing your futures trades
Kova imports TopstepX trade exports, Tradovate exports (orders, positions or performance report) and NinjaTrader trade exports as CSV files, on the free plan. For any other CSV file, Kova recognises the columns and you check everything before importing.
Kova works from your closed trades: your firm's dashboard remains the reference for your account's status.
Does the Take Profit Trader consistency rule fail the Test?
According to Take Profit Trader's help center, no. If your best day is 50% or more of your total net profit, your profit goal rises to more than twice that day, and you keep trading until you reach it.
Can I track my Take Profit Trader Test in Kova?
Yes. Add the Test as a prop firm account (with Pro, its rules fill in from Kova's firm catalog): Kova shows how much of your maximum loss you have used and how far you are from the profit target, and warns you as you get close to the limit.
Can I import my Take Profit Trader trades into Kova?
Yes, if your account runs on Tradovate or NinjaTrader: export your orders, positions or performance report from Tradovate, or your trades from NinjaTrader, as CSV. Kova recognises the columns and you check everything before importing.
Is Kova affiliated with Take Profit Trader?
No. Kova is an independent trading journal. The rules on this page come from Take Profit Trader's own help pages, listed in the sources below; Take Profit Trader's site and dashboard remain the reference.
Is Kova free for futures traders?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit: journal, dashboard, TopstepX, Tradovate and NinjaTrader file import, and one prop firm account with its loss gauges. Pro ($29/month, cancel anytime) adds all your accounts, the challenge replay and My prop firms, which totals fees, resets and payouts firm by firm.
