Trade Analyzer

How the trade analyzer works

1. Pick long or short and enter the symbol, amount, entry price and exit price of a closed trade. The result appears as you type.
2. Add the stop-loss, fees and times if you have them — the stop-loss turns every result into an R-multiple.
3. Every trade lands in your trade list with its result and R. Edit or delete any trade at any time.
4. Unlock the analysis of all your trades — dashboard, equity curve, statistics and breakdowns — in Trading Metrics.

What you get here

• Each trade's result: profit or loss after fees, for longs and shorts.
• Each trade's R-multiple: the result divided by the money you risked to the stop-loss.
• A trade list you can edit, saved in your browser.

Unlocked in Trading Metrics

• Dashboard & trading calendar: Your trading at a glance: performance, profitability and risk, your account balance, and a calendar with a summary of every trading day. How it works
• Performance health: The diagnostics that show whether your edge is stable — not just whether last week was good. How it works
• Balance & cumulative returns: Your balance and cumulative returns over time, and how much of your gross performance trading costs take away. How it works
• Returns by trade and direction: Closed-trade performance per trade and by direction — see whether your edge comes from longs, shorts or neither. How it works
• R-multiples & excursion analysis: How well your stop-loss and target placement match how price actually moves after you enter. How it works
• Trading pairs analytics: Your performance in every market you trade — find your most profitable pairs and cut the ones that lose. How it works
• Trading patterns analytics: Which setups and chart patterns give you the best returns, the cleanest entries and the best risk/reward. How it works
• Trading behavior: Your logged psychological state set against your results, and your trading plans ranked by the returns they actually produce. How it works
• Trading plans: Playbooks with risk limits, required patterns and entry and exit checklists that keep every trade on plan. How it works

Long and short trades

A long trade buys first and sells later: profit = (exit − entry) × amount. A short trade sells first and buys back later: profit = (entry − exit) × amount. Fees are subtracted from both. The initial risk (1R) is the distance from the entry to the stop-loss times the amount — below the entry for a long, above it for a short — and every result is also shown as a multiple of that risk.
