Alltra Portfolio

The Tracker answers how your trading went. Portfolio answers what you are left with — which is a different question, and for a prop trader often a much less flattering one. Fees, resets and platform costs never appear in a P&L curve, and for many traders they are the difference between a good year and a flat one.

Scope

Account picker

One balance across every account you have connected, with each firm’s share of it and how the whole thing has moved. If you run several evaluations at once, this is where they stop being separate mental arithmetic.

The platforms you deal with — prop firms, brokers, the rails your money arrives on — registered here by hand rather than synced. One row each, with what that platform has earned you, what it has cost you, the two netted off, return on what it cost, how many payouts it has made and how many entries you have logged against it. All of it derived from your own ledger, so a platform with nothing logged reads as dashes rather than zeroes.

This is not the same list as the trading accounts you connected in the Tracker, and it is not meant to be. Where a broker connection is about fills, a platform here is about a relationship and what it has cost. The Status column is dashed for everyone — nothing in Alltra records that you are funded at one firm and in evaluation at another, and guessing it from your payment history would be wrong for anyone who was paid out and then breached.

An account’s type and its starting balance are set where the account is created — the Trading accounts drawer in the navbar, not this page.

The ledger, and the section that does the real work. Every evaluation fee, reset, payout, platform cost and withdrawal, logged with what it was for. Add one from the Add Transaction drawer as it happens.

Log it when it happens

An evaluation fee entered today is worth ten reconstructed in six months, and a payout logged when it CLEARS rather than when it is approved is the only version that matches your bank. The gap between those two dates is real, and it is worth being able to see.

What you set against that ledger. One monthly ceiling on what you are willing to spend chasing funding, entered from the Set budget button in the toolbar, and the month’s spend broken out by category beneath it so you can see which kind of spend is running away. The per-category ceilings are not editable yet — the ceiling you set is the month’s.

The point of a budget is the breach, so set one you would actually stop at. A ceiling you would ignore does not produce one, and a number chosen to be comfortable tells you nothing when you cross it.

The same money by the day it landed. It is what stops a good month with three resets in it from reading as a good month, and it lines a payout up against the week of trading that earned it.

Why it is separate from the Tracker

Because they can disagree, and the disagreement is the useful part. A trader can have a green Tracker and a red Portfolio for months — the trading works and the cost of getting funded eats it — and no single combined figure would let you see that. Two surfaces, two questions, one set of accounts underneath.
