Indeed, a trader who will be able to regularly cash in a positive average number of pips will see his trading profits increase naturally and without stress. It is therefore important to focus primarily on achieving goals in Pips and not in Profit. This will allow you to achieve the same results whether you have a small amount of money at the beginning and a large one in the future. Learn more

10. Fees: This column is displayed by some brokers as well as on manual and CSV accounts. It shows how much your broker charges for the trade. This is a good way to see if your broker is being too greedy. By analyzing this column, you could save a lot of money. That's more money in your pocket.

11. Profit: One of the columns that should interest you the most. It shows you the money you've made or lost per trade.

12. Notes: By clicking on the "+" icon, it will allow you to access the trade details and add comments and notes on this particular trade.

Adding notes is a great way to create a history of your trades and how you traded at that time (Benefits: Improved emotional management, Optimized results...) Learn more.

13. Duration: This is the time during which your trade was opened (s = seconds, m = minutes, h = hours). For example, if it is displayed 04m 52s, it means that your trade lasted 4 minutes and 52 seconds. This data is important to know if your fastest trades are necessarily the most profitable. We invite you to consult the "Duration" report to help you. Learn more

14. Gain: This is the increase or decrease of your account in percentage. For example, if it shows +1.3% on a trade, it means that your account has increased by +1.3% thanks to this trade. If your capital was $10,000 before the trade, it will be $1,030 after the trade. Learn more

4 - Your accumulated profits

The cumulative profit chart is an important chart for the profitable trader but especially for the trader who is looking to improve his performance. Indeed, this graph is an excellent way to see if the profits of your strategy compensate for the losses made in the past.

This chart contains two axes:

• The number of trades (x-axis)

• The profit or loss (y-axis)

In the image below, we can see that this trading account is currently in loss. Indeed, the last closed trade (N°37) is below the 0 axis. What you can analyze for your account, as for this one, is the consistency of the profits and losses.

Indeed, looking at the results of this account, we can see that the profits made at the beginning are each time very low, and that too much risk was taken on trade 19 and 20 since they unfortunately directed the account in loss.

From trade 29 onwards, the trader was able to improve his strategy to gradually make up for his losses. The history of this account is interesting and allows the trader to get back on track.

Below, you can see another example, opposite to the previous one. Indeed, the trader's strategy was not losing or winning at the beginning, because we can see that until trade 10, the results are rather stagnant. This is what happens to most beginner traders.

What is interesting to see here is how well this trader manages his losses. Indeed, we can notice that the gains are soaring (so he knows how to take advantage of opportunities), and the losses are small and minimal.

This is an important concept in trading and is called the "safety net". For this trading account, the safety buffer is $566.37. This means that the trader has made a cumulative profit of $566.37. By continuing with his current strategy, this trader will naturally increase his profits over time.
