Why my Sunday-night trades appear on Monday

This is the one place PropStax’s dates will look wrong until you know why. A trade you took at 7pm Chicago on Sunday lands on Monday in every view — the CME session it belongs to opened at 5pm that evening.

PropStax displays trades on the trading day they belong to, not the wall-clock date you placed them. That’s why a Sunday-evening trade shows up under Monday on the Calendar. This matches how your broker reports the trade.

The same applies any day of the week, but Sunday → Monday is the one users notice most.

Weekend dates

PropStax rolls weekend dates forward to the next Monday for payouts and costs in Cash flow mode, and for the passed, blown and payout markers on the Trading P&L calendar. So a payout you log as paid on Saturday appears on Monday’s tile, since brokers process payments on business days. On the phone, a day card’s cost and payout chips keep the date you logged.
