Prop Accounts

Track Breakout evaluations and funded accounts — fees, drawdown limits, withdrawals, and business analytics.

Prop Accounts is the second tab inside the Journal. If you trade on a prop firm, this is where you set up accounts, track them through their lifecycle, and see business-level analytics across everything you've spent and earned.

Breakout-only

Prop account tracking is built specifically for Breakout's 1-step evaluations. The plan configurations (Classic / Pro / Turbo, $5k–$200k) are hardcoded so fee calculations and drawdown limits match Breakout's rules. Other prop firms aren't currently supported.

The two sub-tabs

Inside the Prop Accounts tab, you'll find Accounts and Analytics.

  • Accounts — two card grids, Funded Accounts and Evaluations, open accounts first and then newest first. A passed evaluation's card links to the funded account it produced, and a funded account's card links back to its evaluation. Click any card to open its detail panel.
  • Analytics — KPIs across all accounts (evaluation spend, spend on failed evaluations, pass rate, cost per funded account, breach rate, ROI), spend over time, pass rate by plan type, and a full expense ledger with CSV export.

Adding an account

A 3-step wizard fired by the Add Account button.

Step 1 — Plan

Pick the plan type and account size:

  • Plan Type — Classic, Pro, or Turbo
  • Account Size — ranges from $5k to $200k depending on the plan

A live Plan Summary card appears as soon as you've chosen both. It shows the profit goal, max daily loss for day one, and max drawdown. See Loss limits below for how each is measured after that.

Step 2 — Details

Confirm the purchase details:

  • Purchase Date — defaults to today
  • 90/10 Profit Split Add-on — toggle. The Total Paid display updates live to reflect the add-on cost
  • Nickname (optional) — e.g. “My Main $50k”. Shows wherever the account is referenced
  • Notes (optional) — free-form, up to 500 characters

Step 3 — Confirm

Review a read-only summary, then click Create Account. The account is saved and immediately available throughout the Journal.

Every account you add is an evaluation. Funded accounts aren't added by hand: one is created when you mark an evaluation as passed.

Evaluations and funded accounts

Passing a Breakout evaluation gives you a new, separate funded account, so Flow tracks them as two linked accounts. Status changes are made from the account's detail panel.

Evaluation statuses

Evaluation→Passed/Failed

Funded account statuses

Marking an evaluation as passed

The panel asks for the pass date, the funded start date, and the funded starting balance (prefilled with the account size). Confirming marks the evaluation Passed and creates the funded account with the same plan, broker, and nickname. Trades and withdrawals from then on belong to the funded account. If the evaluation was the Journal's active account, the Journal switches to the funded account (you can pick Personal instead); otherwise the panel offers the switch.

Marking an evaluation as failed

Pick the reason and the date. If your logged trades reached a loss limit, both are prefilled from that trade. The confirmation shows what the evaluation cost: its purchase price is the whole cost of failing it. From a failed evaluation, Buy another opens the Add Account wizard with the same plan selected.

Loss limits

How Flow measures Breakout's daily loss and max drawdown limits from your logged trades. Evaluations and funded accounts are measured the same way.

LimitFloorWhen it moves
Daily lossBalance at 00:30 UTC × 0.97 (every plan). A $101,000 balance at 00:30 UTC gives a $97,970 floorRe-set every day at 00:30 UTC from the closed balance at that moment, then fixed until the next reset
Max drawdownStarting balance × (1 − 6% Classic / 5% Pro / 3% Turbo)Never. The floor stays where it started, even after the balance grows

The starting balance is the account size for an evaluation, and the funded starting balance you entered when it passed for a funded account (the account size if you left it blank). Breakout counts an account as breached when equity reaches or falls below either floor, so a balance exactly at a floor counts.

Closed trades only

Breakout measures equity including open positions, at every moment. Flow only sees trades you've closed, so the daily figure reads Room left today (closed trades; open positions count against this too). An open losing position uses up room before it shows here, and the real account can breach between two of your closes.

Limit bars

Each open account shows two bars: room left today and room above the max-drawdown floor. A bar fills with the share of that allowance used, and under it you'll see the floor and, for the daily bar, when the limit next resets in your own timezone (for example “Daily limit resets 7:30 AM”). The same bars appear on the Trades tab banner, the account cards, the account's detail panel, and the Prop Account Health widget, and all of them change colour at the same points:

Share of allowance usedColour
Under 75%Green
75% or moreAmber
90% or moreRed
At or below the floorRed, “Floor reached”

Archiving and deleting accounts

Two ways to remove an account from active use — pick the one that matches your intent.

The account detail panel has a Danger Zone with two options:

  • Archive — hides the account from the active accounts list and removes it from the Trade Log account dropdown. The account record and all linked trades stay intact, so historical analytics keep working.
  • Delete — permanently removes the account from your records. Any trades that were tagged with the account become Personal trades (no account tag). The trades themselves stay in the Journal. The confirmation dialog tells you exactly how many trades will be unlinked before you commit.

If you're finished with an account but want the analytics to still reflect it, archive. If you want it gone — for example a test account or an eval you mistakenly created — delete.

Trades-tab integration

When a prop account is active, the Trades tab shows its progress, limits and warnings.

Active account banner

At the top of the Trades tab, a banner shows the currently active account along with its status badge. The dropdown lists every open evaluation and funded account (each marked Eval or Funded); pick Personal (no account) to log trades without attaching one. Your selection persists across sessions. When the active account passes, fails, is breached, or is closed, the Journal stops logging to it.

Below the account label:

  • Evaluation — progress toward the profit goal, then the two loss-limit bars
  • Funded — the two loss-limit bars

Limit warnings

For the active evaluation or funded account, warning banners appear above the trade form when you're approaching a limit:

Amber— you've used 75% or more of a limit. Consider sizing down or stopping for the day.
Red— you've used 90% or more of a limit. One more loss could breach this account.

Both daily-loss and max-drawdown limits are checked. Both warnings can appear at once if both are near their thresholds.

Breach prompt

When your logged trades take an open account to or below a floor, a red prompt appears below the banner, on the account's card, and in its detail panel. For example: “Your logged trades put this account past its daily loss limit on Sep 12 (balance $48,480 vs $48,500 floor). Did Breakout fail this evaluation?” It also appears right after you close a trade that crosses a floor.

  • Mark as failed (evaluations) or Mark as breached (funded accounts) ends the account with the rule as the reason and the day the trade closed as the date. For an evaluation, you'll see what it cost.
  • Not breached hides the prompt for that trade and rule. If a later trade crosses a floor again, you'll be asked again.

The check runs on your trades as they are now, so editing or deleting the trade that crossed the floor updates or clears the prompt.

Fees on Breakout trades

When you close a trade on a Breakout account (from the Close Trade dialog or the trade form's close section), the Fees field is filled in for you, and the estimated P&L uses it:

ChargeHow it's calculated
Trading fee0.04% of position value on open and on close: 0.0004 × size × (entry + exit)
Swap (estimate)0.033% a day on open positions, charged in six slices every 4 hours: 0.0055% × size × entry price for each charge time your hold crossed

A line under the field shows the split, for example “Breakout: trading $24.20 + swap $3.30 est.” for 0.5 BTC bought at $60,000, sold at $61,000, held 10:00 to 17:00 UTC. The fee updates as you change size, prices or times until you type your own, and Use estimate switches back. Swap is an estimate: Breakout most likely values each charge at the price at that moment, and Flow uses your entry price.

Auto-tagging

Any trade you log while a prop account is active gets that account automatically attached — no manual tagging. You can later filter the Trades tab by account or enable the Account column in the table view.

Analytics sub-tab

Business-level metrics across all your prop accounts.

Spend over time

A bar chart of evaluation fees paid per calendar month. Tooltips show the exact amount per month. Below the chart: this year's total, all-time total, the amount spent on failed evaluations, and the average fee per evaluation.

Pass rate by plan

A grid showing passes, fails, and pass rate per plan type. Only shows once at least one evaluation has passed or failed.

Business expense ledger

One row per evaluation: date, broker, plan, size, fee paid, 90/10 add-on flag, outcome (for example “Passed → Breached”), and the withdrawals and net P&L of the funded account it produced. Click Export CSV to download the whole thing for spreadsheets or tax filing.

Dashboard widgets

Three optional Dashboard widgets surface prop info outside the Journal.

All three are hidden by default. Enable any of them via Customize on the Dashboard:
