The Trading Floor — Tab 7 of 9

Portfolios

Team capital accounts

Portfolios are the capital accounts traders bind when executing set-ups. Create live, paper, demo, or backtest portfolios with exchange connection, balance tracking, and default risk settings — with desk-level KPIs for total balance and P&L.

What it covers

Portfolios is part of the same Trading Floor sidebar — one desk context from pulse to planning to attribution, without switching tools.

  • Portfolio list with type and exchange binding
  • Balance tracking and P&L per account
  • Default risk settings for executions
  • Create, edit, and retire portfolios
  • Summary KPIs: count, total balance, aggregate P&L

Key capabilities

  • Separate paper and live books on the same desk
  • Bind executions to the correct exchange account
  • Track aggregate desk capital across accounts
  • Default sizing context for the execute wizard

What your desk gets

  • Clear capital account structure for multi-exchange desks
  • Correct buying power context on every fill
  • Separation of demo, paper, and live risk
  • Foundation for attribution and performance roll-ups

Example workflow

How it fits the floor

Portfolios sits inside The Trading Floor — the same sidebar tab that holds Team Pulse, the thesis → set-up → execution pipeline, guardrails, allocations, and attribution. Retail journals bolt on a teams page; The Final Tape mirrors how prop desks actually operate.

Frequently asked questions

Are portfolios required to execute a set-up?

Yes. The execute wizard assigns each team_trade to a portfolio so capital and P&L stay account-scoped.

Can we run paper and live side by side?

Yes. Portfolio type (live, paper, demo, backtest) lets the desk practice workflow without mixing risk contexts.
