Dashboard Charts

The Dashboard includes two monthly charts that look similar but answer very different questions. The Monthly Net P&L Graph shows profitability. The Money In vs Money Out Chart shows gross cash movement. Reading them together tells you both whether you're profitable and how cash is actually flowing.

Both Charts Follow the Year Selector, Not the Date Range Filter

Unlike the KPI cards and Business Health Summary, these two charts don't use the Last 12 Months filter at the top of the page. Instead, they follow the same Year selector as the Yearly P&L Calendar, pick a year, and both charts show January through the current month of that year, filling in as the year progresses.

This is deliberate: a month-by-month chart doesn't work well sliced by a rolling day count (a "last 30 days" view would barely show one bar), so these two charts and the calendar all move together on one shared year control instead.

Monthly Net P&L Graph

A line chart of your Net Business P&L per month for the selected year.

What It Shows

Each point is that month's profitability, using the same formula as the headline KPI:

Per month: (Payouts + Income + Private Account P&L) − (Expenses + Challenge Costs − Refunds)

• Sources: Funded Accounts (approved payouts), Transactions (income and expenses), Private Accounts (realized trading P&L, from Active and Paused accounts), Challenges (challenge fees, upfront and subscription), refunds (challenge cost refunds)

• Display: line chart with a Monthly view (default). Positive segments are green, negative segments muted red. The line crosses the zero line and changes color exactly at the crossing point.

Use it to see whether your profitability is trending up, holding steady, or slipping month to month.

Money In vs Money Out Chart

A bar chart showing actual cash movement per month, money that arrived versus money that left. This is a gross cash-flow view, not a profitability view.

What It Shows

• Money In (green bars): Payouts + Income + Private Account P&L + Refunds

• Money Out (muted red bars): Expenses + Challenge Costs

• Display: side-by-side bars per month, green for in and muted red for out, with months on the x-axis and dollar amounts on the y-axis.

The One Place Refunds Count as Money In

This chart is the only place on the Dashboard where refunds are treated as money in rather than as a cost reduction. The reason is simple: this view is about cash direction, and a refund is literal cash arriving in your account. Everywhere else (Net Business P&L, Total Expenses, Sustainability), refunds reduce costs.

How It Differs from the Net P&L Graph

The Net P&L graph answers "did I make money this month?" This chart answers "how much cash moved this month?" A month can show large bars in both directions while landing near break-even on Net Business P&L. For profitability, read the Net P&L graph; for cash flow, read this one.
