Managing trading accounts

Open AccountAccount management (Account management). Trading accounts let you separate brokers, live vs paper, or different capital pools. Every import, sync, and manual trade is tied to an account.

  • A list of your trading accounts (name, type, balance)
  • Actions to add, edit, or remove accounts
  1. Open Account management.
  2. Create a new account.
  3. Enter:
    • Name — e.g. “Alpaca live” or “Prop challenge”
    • Type — match how you use the account
    • Starting balance — opening equity for P&L context
  4. Save, then use that account when you connect a broker, import CSV, or enter trades manually.
  • One brokerage connection or CSV source per trading account when possible
  • Name accounts clearly so filters on Dashboard, Trades, and Reports stay readable
  • Record deposits and withdrawals with cash transactions so balances stay accurate
