Fleet Mode

Fleet Mode simulates running multiple prop firm accounts simultaneously, a common strategy among funded traders. Rather than modeling a single account in isolation, it coordinates multiple accounts across the same time axis, tracking when each one starts, how it progresses through its payout ladder, and the combined cash flow the fleet generates over time.

Key Concepts

Why Run a Fleet?

Passing a single evaluation and trading one funded account produces a single income stream that can be interrupted if the account blows. A fleet strategy distributes that risk: multiple accounts at different stages of their payout ladder mean that a single blown account doesn’t eliminate all income. Fleet Mode lets you model this before committing capital to eval fees.

Staggered Starts

Rather than starting all accounts on the same day, a staggered start schedule cycles new accounts in at a user-defined interval. This creates a pipeline effect: as earlier accounts complete their payout ladders or blow, new ones are entering the funded phase or still in evaluation. The stagger amount (in days) is set by the user and controls how spread out the account starts are.

Copy Trading and Slippage

Fleet Mode can simulate copy trading across all accounts in the fleet, meaning all accounts take the same trades at the same time, as you would if you were running a master account and copying it to funded accounts. Since copied accounts don’t always fill at exactly the same price as the master (due to latency, order routing differences, and market movement between fills), a configurable slippage parameter degrades each copied account’s P&L slightly. This makes the simulation more realistic than assuming perfectly identical fills across every account.

Running the Simulation

Configure the fleet settings in the Prop Firm section of the sidebar, including fleet size, stagger interval, copy trading settings, and reinvestment behavior. Select Fleet mode and click Run Simulation.

Fleet Mode runs 5,000 simulations by default rather than the number set in the Simulation section. Each fleet simulation has to coordinate every account in the fleet simultaneously, tracking evals, funded cycles, payouts, copy trading, and reinvestment across the full simulation period. This makes each individual sim significantly more expensive to compute than a standard simulation (which can scale up to 100,000), so the count is kept lower to maintain reasonable run times. 5,000 simulations is still plenty for statistically reliable results — percentile estimates at this sample size are stable to within about 1–2 percentage points, which is more than sufficient for the kind of planning decisions Fleet Mode is designed to support.

Understanding the Results

Summary Stats

Five headline figures are shown at the top:

• Net P&L (median) — median net profit across all simulations (gross payouts minus all eval costs), with P10 and P90 shown for range context
• Gross Payouts (median) — median total payouts collected across all accounts in the fleet, before subtracting costs
• Total Eval Cost (median) — median total spent on evaluation fees across all attempts in the fleet
• ROI on Eval Costs — gross payouts divided by total eval costs; a ratio above 1× means the fleet is profitable relative to its entry costs
• Accounts in Fleet — the number of accounts in the representative simulation used for the timeline view

Account Timeline

A Gantt-style chart shows each account in the fleet plotted along a shared time axis, so you can see at a glance how accounts overlap, when payouts land, and where accounts blow.

Each row represents one account. The color coding is:

• Blue — the evaluation phase; the account is still trying to pass
• Green shades — funded cycles; each shade represents a successive payout cycle
• Red — the account blew the drawdown limit in this segment
• Gold (completed) — the account finished all payouts successfully
• Gold diamonds (◆) — individual payout events, with the payout amount shown above in $k notation
• Striped pattern — the simulation ended before this cycle resolved; the outcome is unknown

Hover over any segment or payout diamond for a tooltip showing account ID, status, day range, duration, and payout amount. A monthly label row at the top of the chart makes it easy to see which month each event falls in.

Below the chart, three summary figures show the total number of passed evals, failed evals, and total payouts collected across all accounts in the representative simulation.

Payout Structure

A panel showing the firm’s configured payout ladder as a bar chart, with each bar representing one payout slot’s amount (after the trader split is applied). The maximum possible take-home from a single account is shown at the top right. Hover over any bar to see the payout amount and running cumulative total through that slot.

Payout Schedule

A week-by-week table of when payouts land in the representative simulation. Each row shows:

• Week — the week number; weeks with multiple payouts landing are highlighted in gold with a ◆ marker
• Day — the approximate day within the simulation
• Accounts — which account IDs paid out that week
• Total — the combined payout amount for that week
• Cumulative — the running total of all payouts collected to that point

Monthly Fleet Income

A bar chart showing payouts (green) and eval costs (red) per calendar month from the representative simulation, followed by a per-month net summary row. Each month card is color-coded by whether the net was positive or negative for that month. Hovering a month bar shows the breakdown of payouts, costs, and net for that month plus which accounts contributed.

Weekly Cash Flow and Cumulative Net P&L

Two charts that show the full statistical picture across all simulations (not just the representative one):

Weekly Cash Flow — bar chart with average payout (green) and median eval cost (red) per week. This shows the rhythm of the fleet’s income and spending over time.

Cumulative Net P&L — three lines showing the running net P&L (payouts minus costs) for the P10, median, and P90 simulation scenarios. This is the most important chart for understanding the range of outcomes: the median line shows the expected trajectory, while the P10 line shows a realistic bad scenario and the P90 shows an optimistic one.

Below the chart, the three final cumulative values (P10, median, P90) are shown as dollar figures. If a meaningful percentage of simulations produced zero payouts (the fleet never successfully collected a single payout), that count is noted here.
