Your accounts, your rules, your data.

Everything that keeps the journal honest: several trading accounts including prop-firm evaluations, risk rules that are checked rather than suggested, and a backup you can actually leave with.

Intelligence panel

Ordo's settings panel: an expanded account section listing the trading accounts stored in this journal, above collapsed rows for risk rules, data and backup, sync, intelligence and about — Settings — one panel, six sections, and nothing hidden behind a gear inside a gear.

Accounts, including the funded kind.

A Personal Account since Jul 2024 and an Apex 50K Evaluation tagged CHALLENGE since May 2026, each with its own prop rules. The build these screens came from also says what it cannot do yet, in its own words: new trades land in your first account until the account switcher ships.

The trading accounts list: a personal account and a fifty thousand dollar prop firm evaluation marked as a challenge, each with a link to its own prop rules, above the fields for adding another — Settings · Accounts — the evaluation is a first-class account with its own rules, not a tag on the personal one.

Hard rules, not suggestions.

Max daily loss, max risk per trade, and a required stop — set once, then checked against every closed trade. Trades that break them are flagged with a warning icon in Trade History, and the daily-loss buffer on Home counts down live against the same limit.

The risk rules panel: a maximum daily loss of five hundred dollars, a maximum risk per trade of two hundred and fifty, and a ticked box requiring a stop loss on every trade — Settings · Risk rules — $500 a day, $250 a trade, stop-loss required — three fields, and they are enforced.

Backup like you mean it.

Your journal is plain local files with atomic writes and .bak recovery. Data & Backup exports all of it in one click and restores it just as fast — which is the part that makes the local-first claim checkable rather than merely stated.

The data and backup panel, with controls to export the entire journal to a file and to restore it from one — Settings · Data & backup — export and restore, in the same panel — the exit is as easy as the entrance.

Ordo Intelligence

Intelligence, on its own panel.

Ordo Intelligence is one section in Settings and the only place its two surfaces are configured: Today's read on Home, and Ask your journal in Analytics. It arrives as part of the .Ordo service with no key of your own to paste or protect, it is in every plan, and only compact stat summaries computed from your journal are ever sent — never the entries, the notes or the screenshots.

The settings list with Intelligence sitting between the sync accounts row and the about row — Settings · Intelligence — a panel of its own, between sync and about — not a switch buried in a preferences tab.

Screens are from the current desktop build. The figures in them are a demo journal of 816 trades, not a real account.
