Rules across multiple accounts

The across-accounts switch decides whether your loss limits are measured on the total or on your worst single account.

Same on every platform Updated 26 July 2026

What this does

If you trade more than one account, a loss limit has to answer a question: is minus 5,000 dollars a limit on your total, or a limit on each account? The across-accounts switch is where you decide.

Where the switch appears

It exists on exactly two rule types:

Daily loss
Intraday net low

It does not appear on position size or single-trade loss, because those are already measured on individual trades. A position is in one account by definition.

What each setting does

Switched on: one number for everything. VEXA adds every account together and compares the total to your limit once.

account A closed -4,000
account B closed +1,200
combined         -2,800     against a -5,000 limit → Followed

The evidence line says across accounts.

Switched off: your worst account decides. VEXA computes the figure for each account separately and grades against the worst one.

account A closed -4,000
account B closed +1,200
worst account    -4,000     against a -3,000 limit → Not Followed

The evidence line says worst account instead.

The difference matters most for anyone running a funded account alongside a personal one. With the switch off, a good day in one account cannot cover a blown day in the other. That is usually what a prop firm rule actually means.

Choosing between them

You want	Setting
A ceiling on total damage across everything you trade	On
A per-account rule, where any single account breaching is a breach	Off

If you are unsure, off is the stricter choice and it is the one that will not quietly let a bad account through.

What you should see

In the Day Detail panel, the evidence string names which mode the rule used, so you never have to open the rule to check:

net P&L $-5289.92 across accounts (limit $-5000)
net P&L $-5289.92 worst account (limit $-5000)

If it doesn’t work

A rule fires on a day your combined P&L was positive. The switch is off and one account was below the line. That is the setting doing its job.
A rule never fires despite one account having awful days. The switch is on, and the other accounts are covering it. Turn it off, or create a separate tighter rule.
You want different limits per account. VEXA does not scope a rule to one named account. The practical workaround is a single per-account limit with the switch off, set to the tightest of your accounts.

Daily loss and intraday net low A daily loss rule grades net P&L, so a green day can never break it. The intraday net low rule is the one that catches the drawdown you recovered from.
