Overview

Reports is the portfolio-wide view: every prop account together, rather than one account at a time. It has four tabs, and they answer different questions.

The four tabs

TabAnswers
OverviewWhere does it all stand? Every account’s current status as one labeled bar with the counts, what was spent per account type (net of refunds, with the average per account), and the synced accounts’ trading figures (win rate, profit factor, expectancy per trade, trading fees, trades and the top symbols, eight at most, the card saying how many were traded when there are more), all lifetime. Expectancy is net of trading fees; the symbols and the profit factor are on each broker’s own basis, gross on Tradovate and Rithmic and net on dxFeed, and their captions say which; the Trading fees tile is what separates the two, and the ⓘ on each rate tile shows its division. No sum of trading P&L is a tile here.
Cash FlowWhen did money actually move? Break-even, with the day the ledger reached it and an ⓘ that says how many of your accounts have a cost logged, your net cash over time as one bar per day, week or month, the cost breakdown by category with the costs by month beside it (net of refunds, a month of refunds drawn below zero), payout cadence, and each firm’s share of spend and of payouts (one row per firm with the dollars behind it, largest first; a row opens the firm’s page).
FirmsWhich firms are worth it? Standouts, a comparison table (spent, received, net, ROI and pass rate over finished evaluations only), an ROI leaderboard against the portfolio’s ROI, ROI and pass rate by account size, per-firm trading figures (expectancy, win rate, profit factor and fees share, synced accounts only), and each firm’s status mix, all lifetime.
Lifecycle & PortfolioWhat happened to everything I ever ran? The stage funnel (evaluations, passed, funded, paid out), time in stage as one card per outcome (time until passed, blown, expired and first payout, and lifespan; an account counts with a start date and a dated outcome, synced or uploaded, one dated only by when it was marked is left out, a payout counts from the account’s start date to the first payout logged against it, an outcome no dated account reached has no card, and the ⓘ on each card says which accounts it counts), and the lifetime totals table, paged past ten accounts.

The tiles at the top

Eight lifetime tiles sit under the title on every tab.

  • The cash four: Net cash (payouts received less spent), Total payouts, Spent (net of refunds) and Portfolio ROI, with Payouts ÷ costs in its caption, as a ratio such as 1.80×, and an ⓘ that says how many of your accounts have a cost logged, such as Costs logged for 3 of 5 accounts: an account with none logged adds nothing to what ROI divides by. These come from every cost and payout you have logged, including those on imported accounts and those logged against a broker as a whole with no account. Deleting an account removes its costs and payouts from every total. The full rule is in How PropStax counts money. With nothing logged the tiles show a dash and no cash recorded, and the ROI tile shows no costs until a cost is logged.
  • The prop four: Pass rate, passed evaluations over every evaluation you track, the ones still running included; Reached payout, the funded accounts with a payout recorded over every funded account; Reached payout, all accounts, the accounts with a payout recorded over every account you track, evaluations included; and Average payout, the payouts you have received over the payouts logged. The ⓘ on each shows the division and nothing else: “3 passed / 11 evaluations”, “2 paid / 5 funded accounts”, “2 paid / 16 accounts”, “$2,400.00 received / 2 payouts”. All four count every account in view, imported ones included. The Firms table’s pass rate is passed over finished evaluations only, so the two differ while an evaluation runs. With no evaluation, no funded account, no account or no payout logged a tile shows a dash with that reason. Win rate and Profit factor are on the Overview tab’s Trading section. No sum of trading P&L across prop accounts is in the tiles: a funded account’s P&L is what its payouts come from, and an evaluation’s is simulated, its only use reaching the target, so a sum of either counts the firms’ targets and drawdowns rather than your result.

The period selector

The header carries a period, one of twelve: the rolling 1D, 7D, 30D, 90D, 1Y and ALL, and the calendar-aligned This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month, This Year and Last Year, which snap to real week (Saturday through Friday), month and year boundaries. It defaults to ALL and is remembered until you change it, the same way list and ledger page sizes persist.

A rolling period is a count of dates ending today: 7D is seven dates, today and the six before it, and 1D is today alone. Trading figures end on the current CME trading day, which begins at 5 PM Central, so after that hour they already cover the session in progress; costs and payouts end on your own calendar date. The dates print under the selector: the trading range on a tab of trading figures, the cash range on a tab of cash figures, and on a tab that shows both (the personal Portfolio tab) both ranges once the two clocks differ, after 5 PM Central or when your date is not Chicago’s: “Trades Oct 2 to Oct 8 · Cash Oct 1 to Oct 7”. A cost or payout dated after today is marked Scheduled in the ledgers and counts from its date.

The selector shows on the Cash Flow tab alone and scopes all of it but its Time until first payout, which is lifetime. Everything else is lifetime and says so: the tiles at the top, the Overview, Firms and Lifecycle & Portfolio tabs, and the lifetime totals table.

Cash flow over time

The Cash Flow tab’s Cash flow over time chart draws your net cash, payouts received less costs paid, as one bar per day, week or month. Each bar starts where the one before it ended and stops at the net cash at its own end, so its length is that day’s, week’s or month’s net: green when the net cash rose, red when it fell, and a flat gray tick when it ended where it started. There is one axis, and its $0 is break-even. Every day, week or month of the period up to today has its slot (on ALL, from your first dated cost or payout), so one with no cost or payout is a flat tick at the net cash it held. On ALL the first bar opens at your costs logged with no date, if you have any, and the last one closes at the Net cash tile; in a shorter period the first bar opens at $0, so the chart shows what moved inside it.

A weekly or monthly bar is a candle, as on a price chart: the body runs from the net cash at the start to the net cash at the end, and a thin wick reaches the highest or the lowest the net cash stood at, at the start or at the end of any day inside it. A week runs Saturday through Friday: a weekend’s payouts and costs count in the week after it, as on the calendar.

  • Display picks Daily, Weekly or Monthly. It starts on the width that fits the period: days for 1D, 7D, 30D, This Week and Last Week; weeks for 90D, This Month and Last Month; months for 1Y, ALL, This Year and Last Year.
  • Shading fills the area between the net cash and $0, green above and red below. It starts off, and your choice is saved with your account, apart from the same switch on the personal P&L over time chart.

Hover a bar for its payouts in, its costs out and the net cash it closed at: Net cash to date on ALL, Net cash in period in a shorter period. On a phone, tap or drag across the chart and the figures show under it. Past 60 days or 60 weeks (26 weeks or 24 months on a phone), the chart shows the latest and pages back through the rest; a new period or a new Display choice starts again at the latest.

Prop and personal are separate reports

The Prop / Personal switch in the top bar picks which side you are looking at. Personal accounts never roll into prop totals — see Personal reports for that side.

What you need before it shows anything

Cash figures need only the costs and payouts you have logged. Trading figures read from synced daily data, which loads after the rest of the page: the Profit factor tile and the trading-day count fill in a moment later, and when that history cannot load the Trading section says so, with a retry, while every other figure stands. Imported accounts contribute their costs and payouts, but they have no daily snapshots, so they do not appear in the trading sections. The Firms tab groups those sections under Trading, marked Synced accounts only; a firm with accounts and no synced one keeps its row there, with a dash and not synced.

The trading figures are lifetime, and the ⓘ by each Trading heading says how many ended accounts had no sync after their end day. When a broker drops an account once it is blown or passes, no sync reaches it after that, so the day that ended such an account is not in the figures: the losses of the days accounts were blown and the gains of the days they passed are what is missing. A Tradovate account isn’t counted once its final read, the read after the broker turned it off, has read its balance.

A switch under each Trading heading picks All accounts or Active only. Active only sums the accounts whose status is Active, so the ended accounts, and the ⓘ about them, leave the section; nothing outside the Trading sections changes, and one choice holds on the Overview and Firms tabs alike. An account its broker stops listing keeps its last status, so a closed one can still count as Active until its status changes.

A figure that cannot be computed shows a dash in muted ink with the reason beside it — no synced accounts, no decided trades, no cash recorded — never a green $0. One limit is worth knowing: on a Tradovate account whose win/loss report could not be read for a span of days, the win rate covers the traded days before the gap until the next sync reads the span whole. A fee figure is the commissions and fees each account’s broker reports, whatever its data feed; see Commissions and fees.

If a period-scoped section is empty, the usual cause is that nothing falls inside the selected period. Widen the period before assuming something is wrong.
