On a prop account you are not only trying to be profitable — you are trying not to breach. Daily loss limits and maximum drawdown decide whether the account survives, and both are far easier to respect when you can see them between sessions rather than after the breach email.
Drawdown is derived from your imported statement rather than from an estimate, so the number you review is the one that matters. Seeing how close previous losing runs came to your limit is the most direct argument for smaller size that exists.
The calendar view shows each day's realised P&L and trade count together, so a day that quietly used most of your loss allowance is visible before you sit down to trade the next one.
Many firms require no single day to dominate your profit. Per-day P&L makes an outlier obvious while you can still trade around it, rather than at payout review when it is too late to do anything.
Challenge, funded and personal accounts each import separately and are analysed on their own. Combining them hides exactly the breach risk you need to watch.
