Comparison

Consistry vs Plancana: same psychology focus, deeper prop engine

Plancana is a well-made, mobile-first journal built around trading psychology — log your emotional state, and it correlates mood with P&L. It's a real, differentiated angle, and the app is polished.

Consistry does the same psychology loop — emotion, revenge and rule-break tagging on every trade, with AI that correlates it across firms — and then goes further on the parts prop traders actually live or die by: trailing drawdown, per-firm rule presets, multi-challenge tracking, payouts, and futures sync.

TL;DR: Both are mobile AI journals that track your psychology. Pick Consistry if you want the deeper prop-firm engine (trailing drawdown, multi-challenge, payouts, TopstepX/futures) and an AI coach that does more than correlate moods.

Backtest under your prop firm's rules.

Replay real market history candle by candle and trade it like your challenge. Run the session under your own account's rules or any firm and program from our catalog: daily loss, max drawdown and the profit target are checked on every bar, and a breach ends the session the way it would end the real account.

  • Two years of 1-minute history: futures (NQ, ES, YM, RTY, GC, SI, CL, NG, 6E and their micros), FX majors, gold and index CFDs.
  • Market, limit and stop orders with stop loss, take profit, spread and commission, so the result is not a clean +1R.
  • Up to four synced chart windows from 1 minute to monthly, drawing tools and SMC indicators: FVG, order blocks, BOS / CHoCH, sessions, fractals.
  • Blind mode: a random start with the date hidden, so you trade the chart, not your memory of it.

Where Consistry goes deeper

01

A real prop-firm rule engine

Daily, max AND trailing drawdown, profit targets, challenge phases and per-firm rule presets — the things that actually fail accounts. Plancana tracks daily + absolute drawdown and you set rules by hand.

02

AI that does more than correlate moods

Ask anything about your trade history, get a morning plan, a weekly pattern report, and a GREEN/YELLOW/RED pre-trade check against your firm's rules — not just retrospective emotion-to-P&L stats.

03

One trader, every firm

Your prop firms and personal account as a single profile, tracked per challenge, with payout and fee ROI across firms and currencies.

04

Broader auto-sync

MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader, Match-Trader, DXtrade and TopstepX (futures) sync automatically, plus import any CSV — beyond Plancana's MT/cTrader/TradeLocker/ByBit.

05

Same psychology, plus the discipline tools

Per-trade mood, revenge and rule-break tagging feed the AI just like Plancana's — but sit alongside the pre-trade check and rule engine, so insight turns into action before the next trade.

Who should pick which

Pick Plancana if: you want a simple, mobile-first psychology journal and the in-the-moment mood check is the main thing you're after.

Pick Consistry if: you want that same psychology loop plus the deeper prop-firm engine — trailing drawdown, multi-challenge, payouts, futures sync — and an AI coach that plans and checks, not just reflects. Starting free.

FAQ

Yes — both are mobile AI journals built around trading psychology. Consistry adds the deeper prop-firm mechanics (trailing drawdown, multi-challenge, per-firm presets, payouts), broader auto-sync (TopstepX/futures), and a more agentic AI (chat, daily plan, weekly analysis, pre-trade check).
