Pro Tips
Use the broker and account filters in the sidebar to focus on specific accounts. This is especially useful if you trade multiple prop firm accounts or have both sim and live data.
Make sure to set the correct timezone for each broker in Settings. This ensures your trades are matched correctly and appear on the right calendar days.
Use the Balance page to track deposits, withdrawals, and recurring fees. This gives you a complete picture of your account equity beyond just trading P&L.
