Trade Journal Analyzer
Paste your profit and loss for each trade and see your win rate, profit factor, streaks, drawdown and equity curve. It is your real record, not typed-in estimates. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
One result per trade, in the order you took them. Losses as -800 or (800). The example below is only a sample; replace it with your own.
A CSV file is read in your browser and never uploaded. It should have a profit and loss column, such as one named P&L, Profit, Net or Realised.
Understanding the numbers
- Equity curve
- Your starting capital plus the running total of your trades. The dashed line is the highest level reached so far, so the gap between the two lines is your drawdown at that point.
- Expectancy
- Total profit divided by the number of trades: what an average trade has been worth to you in rupees.
- Payoff ratio and win rate together
- A low win rate can still be profitable if wins are much bigger than losses. Profit factor combines both into one number.
- What it cannot tell you
- Whether the same results will repeat. It describes the trades you pasted, so it is only as representative as that sample is.
Common questions
How do I enter my trades?
Paste one profit or loss figure per trade, one per line, or several separated by spaces. Losses can be written with a minus sign or in brackets, and commas, spaces and the rupee sign are ignored. You can copy a column straight from a spreadsheet or broker report. Nothing is uploaded; the numbers are analysed in your browser.
What is profit factor?
Profit factor is the total of your winning trades divided by the total of your losing trades. Above 1 you have made money overall, at 1 you have broken even, and below 1 you have lost. It is a quick check on whether your winners outweigh your losers in rupees, whatever your win rate.
What is maximum drawdown?
It is the largest fall in your account from a previous high to a later low. This calculator builds an equity curve from your starting capital and your trades in order, then reports the biggest drop in rupees and as a percentage of the peak. It shows how deep a bad patch got, which matters as much as the total profit.
What do the streaks tell me?
The longest losing streak is the most consecutive losing trades in your list. Comparing it with the streak length you would expect from your win rate (see the Trade Expectancy and Kelly calculator) shows whether your worst run was normal bad luck or a sign that something changed.
How many trades do I need for these numbers to mean anything?
More than most people expect. With fewer than about 30 trades, win rate and averages can be far from their true values, and the equity curve mostly reflects luck. Treat results from a short list as a rough guide and re-run it as your record grows.
Does this include brokerage and taxes?
Only if the figures you paste already include them. Use net profit and loss per trade, after charges, for a realistic picture. The Brokerage and Tax Calculator shows the charges on a trade.
