Comparing your performance across brokers
When you trade evals across multiple brokers, the question that eventually matters is: “which of these is actually working out for me?” PropStax has three views that answer different versions of this.
Net cash flow per broker
Reports → Per-broker comparison is the most direct answer. One row per broker, sorted by Net (Received minus Spent).
What each column means:
- Spent — every cost you’ve logged against the broker (eval fees, resets, subscriptions, activations).
- Received — every payout you’ve recorded from funded accounts on that broker.
- Net — Received minus Spent.
- ROI — Net divided by Spent, as a percentage.
Sort by Net descending to see which brokers you’re actually making money on. Sort by ROI to see which give you the best return on every dollar you put in.
What the per-broker view does NOT include
- Open accounts that haven’t been resolved yet (active evals you’re mid-attempt on) — their cost is counted but no payout exists yet.
- Trade P&L on funded accounts that hasn’t been paid out — the account balance might be way up, but the payout column only counts what’s actually withdrawn.
- Anything you haven’t logged. If you forgot to add a reset fee, it won’t show.
A negative net for a broker doesn’t mean they’re a bad broker — it might just mean you have unfinished evals there.
Lifetime totals tab
Switch to the Lifetime tab on Reports for the same breakdown but at the account level. Sort by Net descending to find your best-performing individual accounts. Sort by Broker to group them.
Period-scoped comparison
The Per-broker tab respects the period selector at the top. Switch from “all” to “30d” or “90d” to see which brokers have been profitable recently — useful if you’ve changed strategy or started trading new brokers in the last few months.
When you want to compare trading itself (not money)
The Overview tab’s consolidated equity curve shows your aggregate trading P&L across all brokers over time. It doesn’t break out per-broker, but it tells you whether your overall direction is up or down. Pair this with Per-broker for the financial picture, and you have both halves of the answer.
Exporting for outside analysis
If you want to slice this data your own way (pivot in Excel, share with a partner, etc.), the Lifetime tab has an Export CSV button that dumps all the per-account columns to a CSV. Twenty seconds to grab everything.
