Profit factor
gross profit ÷ gross loss
Winning closed trades summed, divided by the losing ones. Partial exits are not in it. Above 1 means the winners paid for the losers.
Performance
Years of results, cut every way — and honest about which is which.
Win rate, profit factor, expectancy and drawdown, computed from the trades you actually closed. Every figure says which population it came from, because a statistic without one is just a number.
Computed from your own executions. No estimates, no benchmarks, no model.
The distinction most tools skip
Money realised is not the same as trades finished
Sell a third of a position and you have realised money. You have not finished a trade. Most tools fold those together into one P&L and then compute a win rate over it — which quietly counts things that have not happened yet.
realised_pnl
$24,552.30 + $8,196.40
+$32,748.70
Every exit dated in the period, total or partial, net of fees.
closed_trades
$58,834.80 − $34,282.50
+$24,552.30
193 positions that were exited down to the last unit.
partial_exits
+$8,196.40
46 positions you are still holding, with money already taken off them.
Closed trades
74.97%
+$24,552.30
Partial exits
25.03%
+$8,196.40
Every ratio further down is computed on the closed trades alone. The partial exits contribute money, never a win and never a loss.
Realised P&L
Every realised exit in the period, including partial exits of positions still open. Net of fees.
Closed Trades P&L
The full result of every trade that closed in the period. This is the population behind every ratio below.
The two differ by exactly the partial exits: money taken off positions you are still holding.
A partial exit contributes its realised result the day it happens. The position becomes a win or a loss only when it is fully closed — so a win rate never counts a trade that is still running.
The metrics
Each one with the arithmetic behind it
No metric here is a black box, and none of them is adjusted, smoothed or annualised. If you want to check one, the formula is on the card.

Nothing smoothed, nothing annualised, and no benchmark drawn beside yours.
Expectancy
win rate × avg winner − loss rate × |avg loser|
What one closed trade was worth on average. It answers a different question from win rate: you can be right most of the time and still lose money.
Return
net realised P&L ÷ cost basis of the closed quantity
Measured against what the closed trades actually tied up. Not annualised, and not compared to any index — UnifyTrade has no benchmark to sell you.
Drawdown
How far down it went, and how long it stayed there
A run of profit is easy to read. The part worth knowing is the worst stretch between a peak and its recovery — how deep, how long, and whether it has ended.
Max Drawdown−14.20%
Peak to trough−$35,160.00
Days under the peak139 days
Time to recover47 days
Measured on your equity curve over the selected period, peak to trough to recovery. Where no valuation is available, the same measure runs on cumulative realised P&L instead.
Why the duration matters as much as the depth
A 14% drawdown that recovers in a fortnight is a different experience from the same 14% that takes a year. One of them you sit through; the other changes how you trade.
Shown for the period you selected, and recomputed whenever you change it.
Strategies
Which approach actually paid
Every closed trade can carry a strategy you set yourself. Group by it and the same metrics run per strategy, with the sample size beside each one.
Only classified strategies with enough closed trades are ranked, and at least two of them have to qualify before a comparison is drawn. Unclassified trades are listed — they are still your results — but they never compete, because "no label" is not a strategy.
Every cut
The same trades, asked eight different questions
One period filter, one account filter, one market filter — and eight views that answer to them.
Change the period and every view recomputes from the same trades. There is no separate "performance dataset" to fall out of step with the journal.
What it is, and is not
Three things worth being clear about
Numbers like these are easy to read as more than they are. Three lines, so the boundary is not left to guesswork.
- No order is ever placedThere is no order path in the codebase
- No funds are ever movedNo transfer or withdrawal call exists
- No stored secret is ever returnedNot to you, not to an administrator
- No figure is smoothed or annualisedWhat happened is what is printed
- No benchmark is drawn beside yoursThere is no index to sell you
- No unrealised profit is countedAn open position cannot flatter a win rate
It measures what you did
Every figure comes from your own executions, through the same engine the Trades page uses. Nothing is estimated, and no figure is filled in when the data cannot support it.
It is not advice, and not a forecast
These are descriptions of trades that already happened. UnifyTrade does not predict, does not recommend and is not a financial adviser.
It is not a tax report
Cost basis here is a chronological weighted average, which is how a trader reads a position — not a lot-matching method any tax authority requires.
Questions
What people ask before they trust a number
Why is my win rate different from my exchange’s?
Because a win here is a finished position, not a filled order. Your exchange counts each sell; this counts the trade that ended when the last of the position was sold, with the fees already taken out.
Is the return annualised, or compared to an index?
Neither. It is net realised P&L over the cost basis those closed trades tied up, for the period you chose, and nothing is laid over it.
Do my open positions move these numbers?
No. Everything here is settled money. Unrealised profit never enters the population, so it cannot flatter a win rate or a profit factor.
What happens to a strategy I never classified?
It is listed so the totals still add up, and it is never ranked. The same goes for a strategy with too few closed trades behind it.
Can I use this for tax?
Not as it stands. Cost basis here is a chronological weighted average, which is how a trader reads a position — not the lot matching an authority may require. Export the executions and do it properly elsewhere.
