Why Use Multiple Accounts?
Multiple accounts in Tradapt let you separate different types of trading:
- Different strategies: Day trading vs. swing trading
- Different asset classes: Stocks vs. crypto vs. forex
- Prop firm accounts: Each funded account tracked separately
- Paper trading: Separate from live trading data
Each account maintains its own P&L history, analytics, and performance metrics independently.
Creating a New Account
- Go to Settings > Accounts (or click Accounts in the sidebar)
- Click New Account
- Enter account name, type (live/paper/funded), and starting balance
- Optional: set an initial equity date for historical accuracy
Account Types
Live Account: Real money trading. Full feature access.
Paper Account: Simulated trading. All features available but clearly labeled as paper. Useful for testing new strategies without financial risk.
Funded Account: For prop firm capital. Enter the starting balance as the challenge/funded amount. The dashboard shows drawdown from peak, which is especially useful for relative drawdown challenges.
Multi-Account Analytics
The dashboard selector lets you view:
- Individual account performance
- Combined performance across all selected accounts
- Side-by-side comparison (Pro plan)
For prop firm traders managing multiple funded accounts, the comparison view reveals which accounts are performing best and identifies correlated drawdown periods.
Archiving Accounts
If you close a funded account, fail a challenge, or stop using a broker, archive the account rather than deleting it:
- Archived accounts are hidden from the active dashboard
- Historical data is preserved for reference
- Can be restored if needed
Go to Settings > Accounts > [Account name] > Archive.
