Funded Account
A funded account is a live trading account provided by a prop firm after a trader passes its evaluation, letting the trader trade the firm's capital while keeping a share of profits. Funded accounts come with strict rules, including daily loss limits, maximum drawdown and consistency requirements, and violations can end the account. Tracking those rules is a core journaling job for funded traders. DuskAnalyst keeps funded accounts separate with their own starting balance and limits visible, and auto-syncs trades from MT4, MT5 and cTrader where the firm supports them.
Why it matters for your trading journal: A funded account is the payout engine of prop trading, and it lives or dies by drawdown discipline. Journaling it separately keeps the compliance picture clear and the review honest.
Example: Example: a funded $50,000 account with a 5% max drawdown means protecting a $2,500 buffer - visible in the journal's per-account view.
