Fips: the free Tradezella alternative for prop firm and forex traders
Journal trades, size positions, and track prop firm rules without a paywall. Fips gives you the trading journal, lot size calculator, and economic calendar in one app — free plan with no trial expiry.
Why traders switch from Tradezella to Fips
- Free plan, no trial expiry. Journal trades on the Fips starter tier without a credit card. The free plan keeps a 30-day trade history, and Pro unlocks unlimited history.
- Built for prop firms. Fips tracks FTMO, FundedNext, and The5%ers rules automatically — daily loss limit, drawdown, trading days, and consistency.
- Position sizing in one click. The lot size calculator, risk-per-trade calc, and pip value tool live inside the same dashboard, not on separate sites.
- Desktop native, mobile in the browser. Fips ships Windows and macOS clients today; the web dashboard works on mobile browsers, with native iOS and Android apps in final release preparation.
- Economic calendar included. Filter high-impact events by currency and see them next to your open positions.
