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 — the same data your broker sees — and timestamps it. No edits. No cherry-picking. WHAT IT DOES • Connect your Apex, Topstep, or other prop firm account via Rithmic or Tradovate • See your live balance, today's PnL, and cumulative history • Opt into the public scoreboard — verified handles, firms, and outcomes • Track payouts, blown accounts, and firm-level trading reality • 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 • Broker credentials encrypted AES-256-GCM at rest • Your data is yours — nothing public unless you opt in • No device fingerprinting, no cross-app tracking, no data brokers • Full privacy policy at pa-tracker.com/privacy WHAT IT'S NOT PA-Tracker doesn't place trades. It only reads balance state. Your trading, your risk, your broker — all you. We just show the numbers the way they actually happened. If the edge is real, it survives daylight.
