PA-Tracker connects to your prop firm broker and verifies every PnL number from the source. Self-reported trading screenshots don't survive daylight. PA-Tracker pulls your real balance and PnL straight from Rithmic and Tradovate β€” the same data your broker sees β€” and timestamps it. No edits. No cherry-picking. WHAT IT DOES β€’ Connect your Apex, Topstep, or other prop firm account via Rithmic or Tradovate β€’ See your live balance, today's PnL, and cumulative history β€’ Opt into the public scoreboard β€” verified handles, firms, and outcomes β€’ Track payouts, blown accounts, and firm-level trading reality β€’ Free. WHO IT'S FOR Traders who believe the edge is provable, firms that want third-party verification, and anyone tired of screenshots masquerading as track records. HOW YOUR DATA IS HANDLED β€’ Broker credentials encrypted AES-256-GCM at rest β€’ Your data is yours β€” nothing public unless you opt in β€’ No device fingerprinting, no cross-app tracking, no data brokers β€’ Full privacy policy at pa-tracker.com/privacy WHAT IT'S NOT PA-Tracker doesn't place trades.
