Prop Firm Performance Review: What to Track
On a funded account, profit is only half the picture. The other half — did you follow the firm's rules and your own — is what decides whether the account survives, and it is exactly what a review measures.

Why P&L is not enough for funded traders
A green week on a funded account can still be a failing one if you got there by breaking rules — oversizing, trading off-plan, drifting toward the drawdown floor. The firm cares whether you can do it repeatably and within the rules, not whether one week went well.
A prop performance review measures both sides: the results and the discipline that produced them. That is the combination that tells you whether a funded account is sustainable or just temporarily lucky.
What to track
What a prop performance review covers
Rule adherence
How often you traded inside both your plan and the firm's constraints.
Execution quality
Self-scored entry, stop, exit, and sizing — the decisions you control.
Behavior under pressure
How you trade near the floor or after a loss, where funded accounts are usually lost.
Consistency
Whether your process holds steady or swings, which firms with consistency rules care about directly.
The review
Reviewing a funded account
- 1
Log every trade against the plan
Record adherence to both your setups and the firm's limits.
- 2
Score execution and tag behavior
Grade what you controlled and tag the trades that pressed or broke a rule.
- 3
Review weekly for the pattern
Let the weekly review surface whether your discipline is sustainable, separate from the week's P&L.
Honest note
Where Mettle fits
Performance review is genuinely Mettle's lane — separating outcome from execution, scoring discipline, surfacing behavior. This is the part of the prop workflow it is built for.
What it does not do is track your drawdown or enforce firm rules in real time; pair it with a compliance dashboard for that. Mettle reviews the trading; the tracker watches the limits.
FAQ
Is Mettle a prop firm drawdown tracker?
No, and we will not pretend it is. Mettle does not monitor trailing or daily drawdown against a firm floor in real time — a compliance dashboard or your firm's platform does that. Mettle is the review layer: it helps you review the trading behavior that actually causes most blown accounts.
Are the scores objective or self-reported?
Self-reported, by design. No software can see whether you hesitated, chased, or broke your own rule — only you can. Mettle structures that self-report so it is fast, honest, and comparable week to week, and keeps its analysis grounded in what you actually logged.
What should a prop firm performance review include?
Both results and discipline: rule adherence to your plan and the firm's, self-scored execution quality, behavior near the drawdown floor, and consistency. Profit alone hides whether a funded account is sustainable — the discipline side is what a review adds.
Is Mettle free to start?
Yes. You get full access free for 14 days with no card. We only ask for a card once you have reviewed three sessions, after the product has earned a place in your routine.
