Personal Reports

Prop reports answer whether a firm was worth trading. These answer a blunter question: is the account making money. Switch to Personal and Reports swaps its tabs for Performance, Cash Flow, Accounts and Portfolio.

Each tab loads its own data, so a quiet tab never blocks the others — a cash-only account with no trades still reaches Cash Flow. When you change the period, the figures on screen stay, dimmed, under a line naming the period on its way, until the new ones arrive.

The controls that reshape every tab

Period

The Period selector sits beside the Reports title and applies to every tab, 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. It starts at ALL, and your choice is remembered until you change it. A rolling period is a count of dates ending today, 7D seven and 1D one: trading figures end on the current CME trading day (5 PM Central begins the next one), cash on your own calendar date, and the dates print under the selector, both ranges when the two differ. Most figures respect it; the two that carry their own date range say so below. A period other than ALL is read as one window of its days, and a period with too much history to load at once says so: choose a shorter one. ALL reads the figures each account stored at its last sync, with the days a year at a time, so an account that has not stored them yet shows a dash and not stored beside a line naming it.

Gross / Net and FIFO / Position

Two more switches reshape every figure, and they are global rather than per-page — they live in the sidebar’s View section on desktop (one-letter buttons when the sidebar is collapsed), and on mobile in the More menu or the right-edge controls tab. Set them once and the same choice applies here, on the Personal dashboard, and on the Calendar.

The FIFO / Position choice is kept per book: the Prop calendar has its own, and there it changes how trades are counted: the calendar’s tiles, the week and month pages’ days, and the trade list on a day page.

Switch	What changes
Gross / Net	Every P&L figure and chart, before or after commissions and fees
FIFO / Position	How a trade is counted — and so every per-trade statistic

Gross / Net matters more here than on the prop side, because personal accounts carry real fees and the gap between the two is real. It reaches Reports, the personal dashboard’s tiles, broker cards, equity curve and drawdown, the Calendar, and individual trade rows.

FIFO counts each round-trip. Position counts a whole enter-to-exit as one trade, so scaling in and out of a single position counts once instead of many times. A position counts on the day it is back to flat; one still open is not counted until it closes. Your P&L totals stay identical either way — only the trade count, win rate, profit factor, expectancy, and the shape cards reframe. If you scale heavily, expect a much lower trade count and a higher win rate under Position.

Performance

Your trading quality over the period, reconciled against your broker’s cash history.

KPI strip

KPI	What it shows
Gross trading P&L / Net trading P&L	Your result on the basis you selected: before any fee, or after trading fees. Broker fees are not in it
Win rate, before fees / Win rate, after fees	Wins over wins plus losses, on the basis you selected. A scratch is neither, and the caption says how many were left out. With no decided trade the tile shows a dash and no decided trades
Profit factor	Gross profit ÷ gross loss, as a ratio such as 1.42×. With no losing trade there is no ratio: a dash and no losing trades, never infinity
Expectancy	Average P&L per trade on the basis you selected (per position under Position). The ⓘ says so when a day saved without trade detail is in view
Avg win / Avg loss	Mean size of each outcome
Trading fees	Commissions plus exchange, clearing and NFA charges
Trades (Positions under the Position lens)	With the number of trading days. The ⓘ says so when a day saved without trade detail is in view

A trading day is a day you made a trade, opening or closing: a day with a closed trade under the lens you chose, or a day that carries only a fee, which is the entry of a position you held past the close. Such a day keeps its fee in Trading fees, is a losing day of its fee after fees and a scratch before them, and is in the trading-day count, as on the calendar.

A day can be saved without its trade detail, when a sync could not read it. Its trades still count in Trades and Expectancy, as the number your broker reported for the day, on every period. Every figure built from single trades is read from the detail, so it leaves that day out: the win rate, the profit factor, Avg win and Avg loss, Trade outcomes, Biggest win and Biggest loss, Long / short, Hold time, Time in trade, P&L distribution and Streaks, and on the Accounts tab the scratches. The ⓘ on the two tiles says how many such days are in view. On All those days are read with the per-day sections; if that read fails, Trades and Expectancy show a dash and not loaded rather than a figure without them.

Charts and cards

Card	What it shows
P&L over time	Your running total as one bar per day, week or month you traded, on one axis whose $0 is break-even. Each bar starts where the one before it ended, so its length is that day’s, week’s or month’s P&L: green for a gain, red for a loss, a flat gray tick for none. A weekly or monthly bar is a candle: the body runs from the total at the start to the total at the end, and a thin wick reaches the highest or the lowest the total stood at, at the start or at the close of any day inside it. A stretch with no trade has no bar, so the bars step straight across it. Display picks Daily, Weekly or Monthly and starts on the width that fits the period, as Cash flow over time does; Shading fills the area between the total and $0, green above and red below, and is saved with your account. Hover a bar for its trades, and on a week or a month its up and down days; 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) it shows the latest and pages back through the rest, and a new period or Display choice starts again at the latest
Trade outcomes	A donut splitting closed trades into wins (green), losses (red) and scratches (gray), each with its count and share
Winning days	The same idea by day rather than by trade, in the same three colors
Top symbols	Your eight biggest instruments by P&L on the basis you selected, grouped by product root — so ESH6 and ESU6 roll up to ES. The card says how many you traded when there are more than eight, and its ⓘ holds the math: under Net each product’s net is its gross less the fees allocated to it, and a day from before fees were allocated to products counts gross, which the ⓘ says when one is in the period. Each row’s count is in round trips under the Position lens, since a symbol is counted per round trip whatever the lens
Biggest win / Biggest loss	Your two extreme trades
Peak drawdown	The largest fall of your cumulative curve from a high to a later low, measured at the end of each day, with the day of the high and the day of the low beside it. No fall from a high when the curve never fell
Hold time	Average, Median, Longest and Shortest time in a trade, entry to exit, over the trades with a real clock: a day whose trades carry no clock adds nothing to them, and the median never falls outside the longest and the shortest
Long / short	A donut splitting trades by direction, each with its count and share; the two take category colors, not profit and loss, because a short is not a loss
Streaks	Best winning streak, worst losing streak and current streak, counted per account: with one account in view the three figures, with several a row per account. Runs follow the basis you chose, so under Net a trade that gains before fees and loses after them is a loss. A day stored before your rows were rebuilt counts gross results under Net too, and the ⓘ says so when one is in view
Time in trade (Time in position under the Position lens)	Bars counting trades by how long you held them — Under 1m, 1–5m, 5–30m, 30m–2h, Over 2h — on one scale from zero, with each band’s P&L beside its count
P&L distribution	Bars counting trades across fixed dollar bands, from −$500 or less to Over $500, on one scale from zero; a band is a count, so it takes no profit or loss color

All of these reframe with FIFO / Position. Under Position, a scaled-in-and-out trade counts once and its hold time spans the whole position.

Cash Flow

The money moving in and out of your accounts, separate from your trading P&L.

Card	What it shows
KPIs	Deposits, Withdrawals, Broker fees (net of refunds and credits), Net deposits (deposits − withdrawals) and Account value
Broker fees	A donut breaking fees down by the broker’s own description — Liquidation Fee, Market Data Subscription, Entitlement Subscription and the like. A fee you typed yourself groups under the note you gave it
Cash movement	One slot per month of the period: deposits as bars above zero, withdrawals below, both in the same capital ink; the hover gives each month’s deposits, withdrawals and net deposits

Account value is your cash balance at the last sync, the figure the Financials page shows too, because both read one balance — and it is as of the last sync, so a trade since then is not in it until the next one. Your Personal dashboard shows the net liquidation value instead, which folds your open P&L in. An account that has never synced a balance shows a dash and no balance synced; a closed account keeps its last known balance.

When the ledger does not explain the balance

Under the charts, a line names any account whose balance is more or less than its ledger explains, and which way: a deposit or a credit may be missing when the balance is more, a withdrawal or a fee may be missing when it is less. The check sets the balance your broker last reported against the balance it settled (or, for Tradovate, the balance on the day its history begins) plus every day’s net P&L and every ledger row since, unlabeled rows included. A difference of up to $1.00 is not reported, and a broker’s reported balance can lag a day’s activity, so a line that appears on sync day may be gone by the next.

Broker fees are not trading fees

The Broker fees donut covers account-level charges. It is not the per-trade commissions that the Performance and Portfolio tabs report as Trading fees. Two different buckets, kept apart on purpose.

If your broker reverses a charge or hands you a credit, it nets against that fee type rather than adding to it — so a refunded fee lowers the slice, and the Broker fees figure is what you actually paid.

Where ledger rows come from

For a broker that reports its own cash (Tradovate), the type on a row of the Financials ledger is the broker’s granular label, not a generic “fee.” For a broker that doesn’t (CQG), these are the deposits, withdrawals and fees you enter yourself — see the personal cash ledger.

Accounts

A side-by-side comparison of your personal accounts, built to shine when you hold several across one or more brokers.

Card	What it shows
Standouts	Your Most profitable account, Best win rate and Most active. Most profitable needs an account above zero on the basis you selected; a losing period shows No profitable account instead. Best win rate needs at least ten decided trades (wins plus losses) on an account, so a perfect two-trade account never takes it. A standout with nothing behind it (no trade in the period) is left out
Cumulative P&L by account	One tile per account: the account’s running total on its own scale, every tile over the same days so they line up in time, with the period’s P&L beside the name; a tile opens the account
Performance by account	Six cards on one bar family, every account in the same order (by P&L, most first) so one can be followed from card to card. P&L (labeled Gross or Net to match your choice) and Expectancy are bars either side of zero, with cents. Win rate of decided trades runs on a 0 to 100 track, with the trades saved with their detail and the scratches left out under each bar. Profit factor has a tick at 1.00, below which the bar and figure take the loss color. Fees % of gross turnover is the trading days’ fees over gross profit plus gross loss (a day that carries only a fee is in Trading fees and not in the share), and avg trades per day says what it is made of (“789 trades over 235 days”). A figure that cannot be computed is a dash with the reason under it
Balance share	A donut of each account’s cash balance at the last sync, one color per account; a legend row opens the account
Account summary	The full table, one row per account in P&L order: P&L on your selected basis, win rate, scratches, profit factor, expectancy, trades, trading fees, best/worst day, the balance (the cash balance at the last sync; last known on a closed account), the last sync and the last trading day. Its columns do not sort. Hover an account’s expectancy or trades to see how many of its days were saved without trade detail, when it has any

With one account in view there is nothing to rank it against, and the cards take titles of their own: Profits, Win rate and Activity, then Cumulative P&L and Performance, each for that account alone. Profits is the account’s P&L whether it is a gain or a loss, and Win rate shows from its first decided trade. Balance share is left out, since one account is the whole of it.

Portfolio

Your whole real-money picture in one place, plus the time-pattern views.

KPIs

Gross trading P&L / Net trading P&L, Account value (the cash balance at the last sync, open P&L apart), Return on net deposits (your lifetime net trading P&L — trading P&L and trading fees, no broker fee — over the deposits less the withdrawals ever recorded; a dash with no deposits until money has gone in, and a balance carried in from before your broker’s history is starting capital, not a deposit), Fees % of gross turnover (the trading fees of the period’s trading days over its gross profit plus gross loss; a day that carries only a fee is in Trading fees and not in the share) and Peak drawdown (the largest fall of the period’s end-of-day curve from a high, with the days it ran). The figures the other tabs already show — net deposits, the two fee totals, the account, day and contract counts — are on those tabs and not repeated here.

Charts

Card	What it shows
Equity curve	Two lines on one axis: your cumulative trading P&L, colored by its sign, and your account value, dotted. The value line is every account in view over the whole history: each is rebuilt from its recorded cash and P&L and anchored to its latest balance, then summed. That balance is the newer of its broker’s latest stored daily balance and the settled balance kept on the account, from the sync or from an AMP statement you upload (a Rithmic account has only the second, since its broker stores no daily balance); an account with no balance stored at all is its cash and P&L from zero. The gap between the two lines is the capital you have put in or taken out, and deposit and withdrawal markers sit on the value line. Carries its own view and date range, independent of the period selector
Annual P&L	A full-year heatmap, one cell per day, shaded by net P&L: the shade follows the square root of the day’s size against the year’s largest day, so one big day does not fade every other, and the legend names the four steps in dollars, with losses hatched. Its own year arrows, which stop at your first traded year and the current one, so you can browse years without touching the period. Click any day to open it in the Calendar
Median winning day and Median losing day	The typical winning day for each weekday, and the typical losing day, side by side on one scale, so a small losing Tuesday never draws as tall as a large winning one; a bar’s hover says how many of that weekday’s traded days it is the median of
P&L by exit hour	Your P&L by the hour each trade exited, in your local time, as columns along the day: every hour from your first exit to your last, a gain up and a loss down, a quiet hour at $0; the hover gives the hour’s P&L and how many trades exited in it
Activity	Trading days, average trades (or positions) per day, and the symbols that stood out: Most traded by contracts (by round trips where contracts are not known), Best by the largest gain on your basis and Worst by the largest loss. A stat with nothing behind it is left out

Why the two median charts are split

A single median across all days hides the damage. If you win more often than you lose, every weekday reads positive no matter how bad the losing days were. Seen separately, a Wednesday with modest wins and brutal losses stops looking like an average Wednesday. Days you finished flat count toward neither chart.
