Keep risk visible before it becomes the lesson.
A risk management journal puts daily loss, maximum drawdown, account equity and trade context beside the result you are reviewing.
A practical review workflow
A risk management journal puts daily loss, maximum drawdown, account equity and trade context beside the result you are reviewing.
- Tie limits to the right capital
- Separate cash movement from trading edge
- Review drawdown with the trades behind it
What to keep separate in your review
| Review focus | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Tie limits to the right capital | Different Trading Accounts can carry different balances, goals and limits. Keeping them separate prevents a personal account, funded challenge and archived history from blurring together. |
| Separate cash movement from trading edge | Deposits, withdrawals, payouts, resets and corrections affect account equity but should not masquerade as trading performance. Proloca records cash adjustments separately from Trading P&L. |
| Review drawdown with the trades behind it | See equity, return and drawdown over time, then inspect the trades contributing to a metric. The purpose is to identify process changes, not predict future performance. |
A practical example
Suppose a trader reviews one Trading Account after a difficult session. They keep the day's trades, a cash withdrawal and the account's daily-loss limit separate. Instead of treating the withdrawal as a trading loss, they open the contributor trades and decide whether the next session needs a small process change. Proloca does not tell them what to trade.

Clear answers about pricing, privacy, broker connections and what Proloca actually does.
Can I keep different risk limits for different Trading Accounts?
Different Trading Accounts can carry different balances, goals and limits. Keeping them separate prevents a personal account, funded challenge and archived history from blurring together.
How should I record a deposit, withdrawal or payout?
Deposits, withdrawals, payouts, resets and corrections affect account equity but should not masquerade as trading performance. Proloca records cash adjustments separately from Trading P&L.
Will Proloca stop me from placing a trade after I reach a limit?
No. Proloca is a trading journal and review app. It does not place trades, provide market access, connect to a brokerage account or offer trade signals.
Can Proloca predict whether my risk plan will work?
No. Proloca is a review tool, not financial advice or a prediction service. It helps you examine recorded trades, risk and behavior so you can make more informed process decisions.
