How to track projected vs actual account growth
Projected growth is the benchmark from your plan. Actual growth is the truth from your closes. Track both so one good or bad day does not rewrite the process.

Projection is the benchmark
A projection is the path your account would follow if each session hit the target on the allocated slice of equity. It is a plan line, not a promise.
You set starting balance, allocation, target return, and start date. The model compounds on session days. It does not invent wins you did not take.
Actual is the truth
Actual balance moves only when you log a day: win, loss, or no trade, plus the amount. Past closes stay put. Projection history does not get rewritten to flatter a later result.
That split is the point. You can see the gap without pretending the plan changed.
Close the day so the chart stays honest
A growth tracker only works if the daily close is a habit. Win, loss, or no trade in under a minute keeps the book current.
Add journal context when you need the lesson next to the number. The progress view stays useful either way.
Size from the balance you have
After you close the day, the next size should come from actual equity and the account plan, not from how far behind the projected line you feel.
