This looks like a breach
The app warns you when the numbers point to a breach, but you set your challenge's status yourself. Here's how, and why.
By NKTrades
When a challenge drops below its rules, the page shows a message that it looks like a breach. That's a warning, not an automatic decision: you set your challenge's status yourself.
Why the app doesn't do it automatically
The rules are calculated over the trades in your journal. If you haven't imported everything, or you're missing a day, an automatic breach could wrongly fail you with no way to fix it. So it stays a suggestion: you know the situation with the firm, the app only knows your journal.
The same goes the other way: once you've hit the profit target with enough trading days, you get the same kind of suggestion that you're ready to move on, and you confirm that yourself too.
Setting the status yourself
Open the menu on the challenge (⋮ or Actions) and choose Mark as breached.
Pick the Reason. This is required, because no calculation can figure out why it went wrong.
Confirm with Mark as breached.
The reason is a human judgment call, not something the rules produce: that's why it can't be worked out automatically.
You can change the status later if you got it wrong, for instance because a trade was still missing from your import. Fix your journal first, then set the status again through the same menu.
Where you'll see this
On Trading → Prop firm → Challenges your accounts are grouped into Evaluations, Funded and Breached. Your dashboard (Trading → Prop firm) counts breaches separately for evaluation and funded accounts, and shows which reasons come up most, so you can see at a glance whether it's mostly the daily or the overall drawdown.
