Working with several accounts

The account picker, groups, and what each firm has actually cost you.

2 min read

Running one account is the exception. Most traders carry an evaluation or two, something funded, and something personal — and reading them together is where Alltra earns its place, because an evaluation and a funded account are rarely traded the same way.

You can track up to 25 accounts, and the picker in the navbar decides which of them every page is reading. It is the single most common reason a figure looks wrong.

Untick an account and the figure beside it re-reads. That is the whole control.

Selecting a set

The picker ticks accounts one at a time, and the tick-square button on the Manage Accounts row selects or clears every one of them at once. Once you are past three or four accounts that is the control you will use most, because ticking them individually every time you change question is what makes people stop switching scope at all — which defeats the point of having the accounts in one place.

Groups

You can name a set of accounts as a group from the same drawer — all your evaluations, or everything at one firm. It is saved against your account. Grouped accounts are not yet drawn back into the roster, though, so the drawer still lists yours flat afterwards: today a group is a set you have recorded rather than a control you can press.

What each firm actually costs you

Trade costs start from a commission schedule Alltra keeps per trading platform, and are replaced by your broker’s own reported fees once an account syncs — so the figures sharpen rather than staying an estimate.

What a firm has cost you outright is a separate ledger, and it is one you keep: evaluations, resets, data and tools go in as expenses, payouts and profit as income. Return per firm is then answerable — what came in, less what went out, over what went out — and deposits and withdrawals are counted in neither, because moving your own money between two places you own is not a cost and not a profit.

That number is the one worth knowing before you buy another evaluation, and it is not one you can hold in your head across five firms.
