Account Rotation

Trade strategically by rotating through subsets of your accounts instead of risking everything at once.

What is Account Rotation?

Account rotation means trading only a subset of your accounts at any given time, rather than executing on all accounts simultaneously. If you have 20 accounts, you might trade 3-5 at a time, rotating through different groups throughout the day or week.

Why Rotate Accounts?

Trading all accounts on every signal creates correlated risk. If a trade goes badly, all 20 accounts take the same hit. Account rotation breaks this correlation:

• Isolate bad days - If Group A has a rough morning, Groups B, C, and D are untouched
• Preserve capital - Not all accounts are exposed to every market condition
• Recover faster - Rotate away from struggling accounts while they cool off
• Test strategies - Try new setups on a small group before scaling

How to Rotate in TradingPlace

Use the account selection checkboxes to choose which accounts receive each trade:

1. Decide on your rotation groups (e.g., 4 groups of 5 accounts each)
2. Select only the current group before placing trades
3. After a session or set number of trades, switch to the next group
4. Keep notes on which group is active when

Rotation Strategies

• Time-based - Rotate groups every trading session (AM vs PM) or daily
• Trade-based - Rotate after every 3-5 trades regardless of outcome
• Performance-based - Rotate away from groups that hit loss limits
• Mixed - Combine approaches based on market conditions

Practical Example

You have 15 prop firm accounts. Create 3 groups of 5 accounts each:

• Group A - Trade during the first hour after open
• Group B - Trade during mid-morning setups
• Group C - Trade during afternoon sessions

If Group A has two losers early, your other 10 accounts are completely unaffected. You can still have a profitable day with Groups B and C.

Key Takeaways

• Never trade all accounts on every signal
• Create logical groups based on your account count
• Rotate systematically, not emotionally
• Use rotation to manage both risk and psychology
