Broker Account Reports Explained

Published: Jun 7, 2026Last updated: Jun 7, 2026

The Broker Account Report helps you compare trading performance across all your broker accounts in one place.

If you trade with multiple brokers, funded accounts, or trading platforms, this report makes it easy to see which accounts are performing best and where your trading costs are highest.

You can access it from:

Reports → Broker Accounts


Why Use Broker Account Reports?

Many traders use more than one account.

Examples include:

  • Charles Schwab for stocks
  • Tradovate for futures
  • Interactive Brokers for options
  • Multiple funded accounts
  • Separate live and demo accounts

Instead of reviewing each account individually, Broker Account Reports provide a consolidated view of account-level performance.

This helps answer questions such as:

  • Which broker account generates the most profit?
  • Which account has the highest trading costs?
  • Which account has the best win rate?
  • Are some accounts consistently underperforming?


Summary Cards

At the top of the report you'll find several key account-level statistics.

Net P&L

Total net profit or loss across all broker accounts.

This value includes trading costs and reflects your actual realized performance.

Total Friction

Total trading costs across all accounts.

This includes:

  • Commissions
  • Fees
  • Taxes
  • Swaps (when applicable)

High friction costs can significantly impact long-term profitability.

Net Return (%)

The overall percentage return generated across all broker accounts.

Total Trades

How to Use Broker Account Reports

1. Compare Broker Performance

Review Net P&L across accounts to determine which broker or account generates the strongest results.


2. Evaluate Trading Costs

Compare Total Friction across brokers.

Some brokers may appear profitable before costs but perform significantly worse after commissions and fees are considered.


3. Monitor Multiple Trading Accounts

If you manage several accounts, this report provides a quick way to compare performance without switching between accounts.


4. Separate Trading Styles

Many traders use different accounts for different purposes.

Examples:

  • Stocks account
  • Futures account
  • Options account
  • Funded account

Broker Account Reports help evaluate whether each account is serving its intended purpose.


5. Identify Accounts That Need Attention

An account with:

  • Low Net P&L
  • High Friction Costs
  • Poor Win Rate

may require strategy adjustments, lower trading frequency, or improved risk management.


Best Practices

To get the most value from Broker Account Reports:

  • Import trades for all active accounts
  • Keep account names organized
  • Review trading costs regularly
  • Compare Net P&L instead of Gross P&L
  • Monitor both profitability and efficiency

Broker Account Reports help you understand not only how much you're making, but where your trading results are coming from across your entire trading operation.
