How the numbers are calculated
R-multiple — your result measured in units of risk, not dollars. Computed from your prices: (exit − entry) ÷ (entry − stop) for longs, inverted for shorts. If you didn't log prices, it falls back to P/L ÷ risk amount. A +2R win means you made twice what you risked, whether that's ₦2,000 or $2,000. R is how professionals compare trades across account sizes.
Expectancy — average R per trade. Positive expectancy is the entire game: it says every time you take your setup, you earn that much risk-adjusted on average. Win rate alone tells you nothing without it.
Profit factor — gross profit ÷ gross loss. Below 1.0 you're losing money. 1.5+ is solid, 2.0+ is strong.
Max drawdown — the deepest fall from an equity peak. This is the number that ends accounts and fails prop challenges, so it's tracked in both currency and percent.
Net P/L — every metric on this page uses P/L after the fees and commission you log.
