How Market Matrix tracks your Alpha Futures account

Your limits, in dollars

Import your trades and the rules panel shows how far you are from passing, from your max loss and from today’s limit, with a green, yellow or red status. It works from the trades you import; it doesn’t connect to Alpha Futures or see open positions.

What’s costing you money

Insights reads your trades and journal and shows your best and worst times of day, setups and habits, so you fix what actually costs you before it costs you the account.

A routine that holds on bad days

Morning prep before the open, a calm Live session screen with your rules and reset buttons for FOMO and tilt, and an end-of-day reflection. Most accounts are lost to habits, not setups.

Questions Alpha Futures traders ask

Does Market Matrix connect to my Alpha Futures account?

No. You import a file from your trading platform or add trades by hand, and your rules panel updates each time. It never sees open positions and never places trades.

Is Market Matrix part of Alpha Futures?

No. Market Matrix is an independent trading journal and isn’t affiliated with Alpha Futures.

What if Alpha Futures changes its rules?

Every number in your account stays editable, so you can match any change right away. We review the presets regularly too.

Is it free?

Every new member gets 14 days of every feature, free. After that, the core journal stays free for good on one account, including automatic TopstepX and Interactive Brokers sync, trade charts, your P&L calendar and stats, your prop firm rules panel and your daily routine. Pro ($19 a month) adds unlimited accounts, Insights and the full Notebook.
