Account detail walkthrough
The Account detail page is the deep view of a single account. You land here by clicking an account anywhere — from the Dashboard, the Brokers page, a broker detail page, the Evaluations page or the Funded page.
The back link at the top returns you to wherever you came from. Arrive from a specific broker’s detail page and it reads with that broker’s name and takes you back there; arrive from the Evaluations page and it reads Evaluations, or from the Funded page and it reads Funded; arrive from a bookmark or a direct link and it falls back to the Brokers list.
This walkthrough covers a prop firm account. A personal (real-money) account opens its own, simpler detail page focused on money and balance — account value, net P&L, deposits, fees, drawdowns and run-ups — without the eval, liquidation, and profit-target cards below, which are prop-firm concepts that don’t apply to real money.
The page has a lot of cards. Here is what each one is for, top to bottom.
Sticky status bar
The bar that stays at the top of the screen as you scroll. It shows your drawdown left — how far the current balance sits from the broker’s liquidation level, in dollars and as a percentage, with a bar between the two. The bar is green while half or more is left, then amber, orange and red as it runs down, and the dollar figure turns red under 10%.
On an ended account the bar names the status and its date instead. The balance and the liquidation level stopped at the account’s last sync, which can be from before its last day when the broker dropped the account first, so there is no distance to show.
Header
The block right under the sticky bar, carrying the account name, status, broker, account type, data feed, and start date.
Renaming the account
Click the account name to rename it. A popup opens where you can type a custom display name — useful when the broker’s own label is cryptic, e.g. renaming “XF-3097841” to “Funded 50k #3”. The broker is already shown separately in the header, so the alias does not need to repeat it. Clear the field and save to revert to the broker’s name.
Changing the status
The status indicator next to the name shows whether the account is active, passed, blown, expired or closed. The small pencil icon beside it opens the status-edit popup at any time.
| Pick | What it does |
|---|---|
| Active | Reactivates a terminated account and clears its end date — for when a broker reinstated an account PropStax had marked blown |
| Passed, Blown, Expired, Closed | Terminal. A funded account offers only Blown and Closed. An End date input appears, starting on the day the account ended if it has one, otherwise today; back-date it if the account actually ended earlier |
| Keep Active | Leaves the account active and stops the sync prompts about it |
With an outcome picked, the popup also has an optional Final balance field for the balance the account ended with. Leave it blank if you don’t know it. A sync never changes the outcome, its day or a final balance you typed afterward; see Statuses.
Tags
The Tags button expands an inline tag input. Type a tag name and press Enter to apply it. See Tags & filtering.
Key metrics grid
Eight tiles:
| Tile | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Balance | Current balance reported by the broker; a dash and no balance synced when none is stored. On an ended account the tile reads Balance at last sync with the day of that sync: the broker’s figure as of then, which can be from before the account’s last day. It reads Final balance with the day the account ended when that balance is known: from a sync after its last day, from a Tradovate read after the broker made the account view-only, or from you. A blown account no sync has seen since its last day, and no Tradovate read since the broker made it view-only, shows a dash and Below the liquidation level until one does; hover for the last synced figure |
| Account size | The starting size of the evaluation or funded account |
| Net P&L after payouts | Balance less account size, plus the payouts you have received — a paid-out account is not a loss. On an evaluation, which takes no payouts, the tile is Net P&L: the balance less the account size. It uses the Final balance when the Balance tile shows one, and shows a dash while that tile reads Below the liquidation level. With no balance or size stored it falls back to Net trading P&L from the synced trade days, and the tile’s hover text says which |
| Day P&L | Today’s P&L. Reads ”—” when the current trading day has no data yet — see Day P&L shows ”—“ |
| Remaining DD | How much drawdown room you have left; a dash on an ended account |
| Consistency | Your best day as a percentage of your net P&L in the current payout cycle (the days since your last payout; on an evaluation, the account’s whole history), to two decimals. A net P&L of zero or below counts as zero, which makes the figure infinite. Above 200% it reads >200%, and hovering it shows the actual figure. It reads — until the cycle has a profitable day |
| Trades | Total trades on this account |
| Trading days | Number of days you actually traded |
A lower Consistency percentage means profit is spread across more days, which is what the prop-firm consistency rule rewards.
Evaluation progress card
Only appears for active evaluation accounts; an ended one has no progress to measure, and the sticky bar names its end. Two bars: Profit target (how close you are to passing, with a mark at the target) and Drawdown left (how much of your drawdown allowance is still there, colored as the sticky bar’s is). An account with no balance to measure, such as one added by upload, shows its target with no balance data beside it instead of a bar.
Payout rules card
Only appears for active funded accounts, Straight to Funded among them; an ended one has nothing left to measure. Five or six lines in two groups.
Toward the next payout counts from the day after your last payout, or from the account’s first day before any payout. Its lines read the same figures as the account’s row on the Funded page:
| Line | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Q-days | Shown where the firm counts qualifying days: yours against the number it needs, such as 3 of 5. A qualifying day is a day with a trade and a net P&L at or above the firm’s daily minimum, counted once the session closes |
| Days | Shown where the firm sets a minimum of trading days: your days with a trade against it, such as 6 of 5. A firm with both rules shows both lines. With neither on record the line shows your days traded alone |
| Consistency | Your best day as a share of your net P&L against the firm’s limit, such as 32.50% of 40%. Past the limit the figure turns amber. Where the firm has no consistency rule the line shows your figure alone, always in green with a check: with no limit, your account always conforms |
A green check marks a line you meet.
Payout terms are the firm’s own figures for the account’s product, as PropStax has them on record. They are not read against your balance, so nothing here says a payout is available:
| Line | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Min payout | The smallest payout the firm pays. None where it sets no minimum |
| Max payout | The most it pays at once. None where it sets no maximum |
| Split | Your share of a payout: the split recorded with your latest payout that has one, else the one saved on the account, else the firm’s |
A dash means the figure isn’t on record for the product, or the plans that fit the account state it differently; the ⓘ beside the line says which. When no product in the catalog fits the account, or your payouts couldn’t be loaded, the card says so above its lines.
Performance KPI row
Headline trading stats for the duration selected on the Equity curve card below. Each tile carries a sparkline showing the day-by-day trend within that window.
| Tile | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Net trading P&L | Net result over the window, after trading fees |
| Win days % | Share of traded days that closed net positive |
| Days traded | Days with activity in the window |
| Avg hold time | Average time in a trade, from your broker’s daily statistics. Each row in the Trades list below runs from the trade’s open to its close, and a broker’s daily clock can differ, so the two are not always equal |
| Profit factor | Gross profit ÷ gross loss, as a ratio such as 1.42×; a dash and no losing trades rather than infinity |
| Fees % of gross turnover | Fees over gross profit plus gross loss; a dash and no closed trades when there is no turnover |
| Expectancy / trade | Average net P&L per trade — not per day |
| Avg winning day | Average net P&L across days that closed net positive |
| Avg losing day | Average net P&L across days that closed net negative |
Equity curve card
A chart of your account over time, with three lines:
| Line | What it tracks |
|---|---|
| P&L (solid) | Your trading P&L, day by day. Doesn’t move when you take payouts |
| Balance (dotted) | Your actual balance, including payout dips — this line drops on a payout, the P&L line doesn’t |
| Liquidation floor (dashed red) | Where the broker would liquidate the account that day. Moves over time on trailing-drawdown accounts. A past day shows no floor while PropStax can’t work it out yet, as on an account still waiting on its Drawdown question; the first sync after you answer fills those days in |
Hover any point for the date, P&L, balance, liquidation floor, and any payout that posted that day.
The card carries two controls, and they do different jobs:
- Duration — 1M, 3M, 1Y or ALL. This is the page-wide window: it drives the Performance KPI row and every chart below, not just this one. Your choice is remembered the next time you open the page.
- Granularity — Daily, Weekly or Monthly. Resamples this chart only, and resets to Daily each time you open the page.
Day charts
Four cards under the equity curve, over the duration it sets:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| P&L per day | Each day’s net P&L, up for a gain and down for a loss |
| Wins vs losses | Each day’s winning trades above zero and its losing trades below |
| Median P&L by day of week | The median net P&L of each weekday; Saturday or Sunday only when you traded one |
| Peak Delta | How far your running net P&L sits below its highest point since the range began, day by day |
Only days with a trade or money on them are drawn. A weekend or holiday your broker reports with nothing on it is left off.
Account analytics card
Only appears once the account has trades. Three sub-cards:
| Sub-card | Contents |
|---|---|
| Performance | Win rate, average win, average loss, profit factor, best and worst day |
| Consistency | Total trades, trades per day, lifetime consistency (best day as a percentage of total net P&L across the whole account, to two decimals, and >200% above 200%), and win and loss streaks |
| Top symbols | The 5 symbols with the biggest absolute P&L impact — your biggest winners and biggest losers both surface here |
Financial history card
The ledger of every cost and payout you have recorded against this account, newest first; a cost imported without a date is listed last, under No date.
- Add cost opens the cost entry popup.
- Add payout only shows on funded accounts — evals don’t take payouts.
To edit or delete a row, use the ledger on the Financials page.
Daily summary card
Only appears once the account has trades. One row per trading day with the date, net P&L, trade count, best win, worst loss, commission, and end-of-day balance, newest first. The page-size dropdown controls how many days you see at once. Click a row to open that day in the Calendar, which shows all your prop accounts for the day.
Trades
Every round trip the sync captured for this account, newest first, ten to a page (Per page also offers 50 and 100). Each row is one line: the contract and side, the trading day, the hold time from the trade’s open to its close, the contracts, and the broker’s net where the feed reports one (a dash where it does not); the prices and the cost are on the trade’s page. Under the Position view (the FIFO | Pos. switch in the sidebar) the round trips of one flat-to-flat run are grouped into one row, with their count (“3 tds”), and a page is that many positions, each whole however many pages of trades it spans: the list reads ahead to complete the positions on the page, and says so while it does. A position opened before the newest thousand trades shows the trades read so far, and a line above the list says that too.
The row itself opens the trade’s own page, or the position’s when the trade is the only one in it on this page (a position the page cut opens whole) or under the Position view — see The trade page and the position page. The journal is written there; a row with an entry shows a small journal icon, then any tags on its entries — see Journaling trades and positions.
Some prop firms serve a per-trade history without the ids that tell one trade from another, so their accounts show no trades here; the daily figures above are unaffected.
