DISCIPLY · FULL TRADING PLATFORM
Open Markets ↗Not just a journal: markets, execution, risk and review in one workflow.
Disciply combines MT5 data, market tools, execution controls and behavioral analytics. The value is not one feature; it is the connection between context → decision → execution → journal → review.
Market workspace, charts, price alerts, Market Breakdown, calendar/context, Market Bias and volatility context available in the market workflow.
Group breakeven, profit protection, SL/TP management across multiple positions with preview and broker checks, plus partial close where supported.
Distribute limit orders inside a range while reviewing order count, size and total exposure before sending them to the connected account.
Sizing proposals using history, session, asset, current risk, exposure and broker volume specs; guardrails reduce size when conditions deteriorate.
Orders, protection and position management linked to the active account, with level, tick, minimum-distance/freeze checks and confirmation before execution.
Keep a rule sheet for each account
Record firm, program, phase, simulated capital, daily and overall limits, reset time, time zone and calculation method. Do not copy a rule from another account or an old guide. FTMO’s official Trading Objectives page explains Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss; check the current page for the product you use.
Check the buffer using the right metric
Distance to a limit may depend on balance or equity, floating P&L, commissions, swaps and trades closed during the day. Compare your reading with the official dashboard. A spreadsheet or third-party alert can differ because of latency, currency or definitions.
Track process as well as limits
Record planned risk, headroom at session start, thresholds approached and why you stopped. Review whether deviations cluster after losses or near a limit. This is useful even without a formal breach; keep behavior metrics separate from contractual rules.

Test alerts without delegating protection
An alert can be delayed or incomplete. Compare it in observation mode with the dashboard and check its feed, time zone, connection and included costs. If readings differ, use the firm’s current terms and controls.
Common questions
Is drawdown always calculated from balance?
No. The formula depends on the program and may include equity, open positions, costs, or static and trailing thresholds. Read the exact rules.
Can a journal prevent a breach?
No. It can help record risk and decisions, but does not replace the dashboard, official rules or firm controls.
