Welcome to Trader Node

Trader Node is a business management platform built specifically for traders. Whether you're working through prop firm challenges, managing funded accounts, or trading your own capital, this platform helps you track the financial side of your trading business in one place.

Who Is This Platform For?

Trader Node is designed for:

  • Prop firm traders who purchase challenges and work toward funded accounts

  • Funded traders who receive payouts from prop firms and need to track their revenue

  • Private account traders who trade their own capital and want to monitor their true performance

  • Traders doing all of the above who need a unified view of their entire trading business

If you're serious about treating trading as a business, this platform gives you the tools to track what matters: your costs, your revenue, and whether you're actually profitable.

What Can You Do With Trader Node?

The platform is organized into five main modules, each handling a different part of your trading business:

Dashboard

Your command center. The Dashboard pulls data from all other modules and shows you the big picture—whether your business is making money or losing it. You'll see your total income, expenses, and net result at a glance.

Challenges

Track your prop firm evaluation attempts. Record when you purchase a challenge, which phase you're in, and how much you've spent. When you pass, you can convert the challenge directly into a funded account.

Funded Accounts

Manage the accounts where you're trading with prop firm capital. This is where you track your payouts—the real revenue your trading business generates. You'll also record any refunds you receive.

Private Accounts

Track your personal trading accounts where you trade your own money. Unlike challenges and funded accounts, private accounts track your actual balance and calculate your true trading profit or loss.

Transactions

Record general business income and expenses that don't fit into the other modules. This includes things like software subscriptions, education costs, and any other income sources.

The Core Question

Everything in Trader Node is designed to help you answer one question:

"Is my trading business financially healthy and sustainable?"

To answer this, you need to know:

  • How much money is coming in (payouts, refunds, other income)

  • How much money is going out (challenge costs, expenses)

  • Whether you're making more than you're spending

The platform tracks all of this automatically as you record your activity, then shows you the answer on your Dashboard.
