Tanto is a serious futures journal. Sync is real-time and native for Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, cTrader, Interactive Brokers and TopstepX, which reaches Apex, Bulenox, Lucid, Tradeify, Earn2Trade and most of the modern futures-prop world. Pricing is honest too: every tier has every feature, you only pay for how many accounts you connect — up to 50 on the top plan, which matters if you run a copy-traded stack of Apex accounts.
Consistry treats the sync as the starting point, not the product. On top of the imported trades sits what actually decides a combine: each firm's verified rules per account size, daily and trailing drawdown computed the way YOUR firm computes it, a pre-trade GREEN/YELLOW/RED check, and your real ROI across evaluation fees, resets and payouts.
TL;DR: Tanto is the better raw pipe if you need real-time Rithmic across a big stack of accounts. Consistry is the better journal for passing and keeping funded accounts: verified per-firm rules, trailing-drawdown math, a pre-trade check, fee/payout ROI, mobile apps — with a free plan Tanto doesn't offer.

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.
An honest list — on these points Tanto is ahead today.
Rithmic is the data spine of Apex, Bulenox and other futures props. Tanto reads it natively in real time; Consistry doesn't sync Rithmic yet, so an Apex account reaches us by CSV import rather than live.
The Advanced tier connects up to 50 accounts — the copy-trading reality of high-volume Apex traders. Every tier has every feature; you pay only for connections.
If you also run a personal IBKR account alongside prop, Tanto syncs it in the same view.
Daily loss, max loss, trailing drawdown, profit target, consistency caps — pre-filled per firm and account size from the firm's own pages, date-stamped, and watched weekly for changes. Tanto journals your trades; it doesn't know your firm's rules.
Whether the floor trails a fixed dollar distance or a percent of peak, end-of-day or intraday, differs by firm — we verified the basis for each futures firm on its own help pages. That distinction is the single most common way funded futures accounts die.
The pre-trade GREEN/YELLOW/RED weighs the trade you're about to take against your firm's limits and your own record — including how you historically perform after consecutive losses.
Evaluation fees, Apex-style resets, activation fees and payouts roll into a true ROI across every firm — the number that says whether prop is actually paying you.
Forex props on MetaTrader, TradeLocker, DXtrade or Match-Trader sync next to your futures accounts. One trader profile across every challenge, passed or blown — not a per-account silo.
Native iOS and Android apps, push alerts when you approach a limit, and a voice coach. Tanto's site names no mobile app.
A free-forever plan with unlimited trades, then $29.99/mo with everything included. Tanto has no free plan and meters by connected accounts.
Pick Tanto if: you run a large stack of Rithmic-based accounts (Apex, Bulenox) or an IBKR account, need every fill mirrored in real time, and want analytics rather than rule tracking.
Pick Consistry if: you want the journal to know your firm's rules — trailing math included — check trades before you take them, track what the challenges actually cost and pay, and live on your phone. Free to start.
Start free — unlimited trades and accounts, your firm's limits pre-filled and verified, trailing drawdown computed the way your firm computes it.
