Accounts

Manage multiple trading accounts, transactions, balance tracking, duplication, and favorites.

Accounts

Each account is a separate ledger. Trades, custom columns, dashboard, and month view are all per-account.

Manage accounts in Settings → Accounts.

Creating an Account

Enter a name, select a currency (defaults to USD), and click Add Account. The currency determines how P&L and commission values are displayed for this account. It cannot be changed after the account has trades.

The accounts table shows each account's name, currency, balance, and status.

Switching the Active Account

Use the account switcher in the app header, or open the Manage Accounts modal. All views reflect the active account.

Renaming and Deleting

  • Rename: click the pencil icon, edit inline, press Enter or click away to save, Escape to cancel.
  • Delete: click the trash icon, confirm inline with the "Confirm" / "Cancel" buttons. The last remaining account cannot be deleted.

Duplicating an Account

Click the copy icon on an account row to duplicate it. The duplicate copies the account's name, currency, and all settings (commission rates, instrument overrides, P&L display mode, breakeven threshold). Trades and transactions are not copied. After duplication, the new account becomes the active account automatically.

Duplication is available both in the settings accounts table and in the Manage Accounts modal.

Transactions

Transactions track money flowing in and out of an account independent of trade P&L. Open the transactions dialog by clicking the arrow icon on an account row.

Adding a Transaction

Click + Add Transaction in the transactions dialog. Fill in:

  • Type — select deposit, withdrawal, fee, or interest. The first transaction on an account is always a deposit (the type selector is hidden).
  • Amount — the first transaction is the account's starting balance and may be 0 for prop or unfunded accounts. All later transactions must use a positive number.
  • Currency — defaults to the account currency but can be changed.
  • Date — when the transaction occurred. For the first transaction on an account with existing trades, the date must be on or before the first trade execution so equity calculations remain accurate.
  • Comment — optional note.

Editing and Deleting Transactions

  • Edit: click the pencil icon on a transaction row. The form opens pre-filled with the current values.
  • Delete: click the trash icon, then confirm in the dialog.

Balance

The transactions dialog shows the current account balance at the top, calculated as the sum of all deposits and interest minus withdrawals and fees. The balance is color-coded: green for positive, red for negative.

The accounts table also shows each account's balance in a dedicated column.

Favorites

Mark accounts as favorites by clicking the star icon in the Manage Accounts modal. Favorites appear in a dedicated section at the top of the modal for quick access. Click the star again to remove an account from favorites.

Shared accounts (from mentoring) can also be favorited.
