Fail Analysis (Blown Accounts)
When trading on a prop account, psychological pressure can lead to fatal mistakes. If your account balance violates any of the configured restrictions, the simulator will declare the account BLOWN. Kaptur helps you analyze what happened using the Evidence Report.
1. The BLOWN State (Account Loss)
If your account enters the BLOWN state, new trade simulations for that challenge will be locked. A red header indicating the failure status will appear on the Challenge Dashboard, and a special analysis card will be unlocked at the top.
2. The Evidence Report
Kaptur's Evidence Report is a detailed accounting analysis that objectively shows you the exact reason for the failure:
- Daily Loss Exceeded: Shows you the exact date and time when your cumulative loss in a single day exceeded the allowed limit, specifying the account balance before and after the destructive trade.
- Max / Trailing Drawdown Reached: Plots your account's high-water mark and the exact point where the downward balance line crossed the total permitted loss limit.
- Consistency Rule Violated: If you reached the profit target but the account was invalidated because a single day accumulated more than the maximum permitted percentage (for example, winning 80% of the target with a single lucky trade), the report will show the daily profit breakdown and the percentage excess.
3. Using Failure to Your Advantage
Seeing your account blown in red is painful, but it is your best learning tool:
- Review the Failure Trades: Analyze the notes and psychological tags associated with the day of the failure. Were you anxious or angry? Was it a trade outside your playbook?
- Restart the Simulation: Tap the Restart Challenge button on the simulator screen to clear the balance and start a fresh challenge with the lesson learned.
- Abandon to Adjust: If the challenge rules do not fit your current style, press Abandon Challenge to set up a custom challenge with more conservative loss limits.
