What's the Futures Analysis tool, and how does it work for me?

Regardless of your trading experience, documenting your trades and understanding your trading performance is the first step in becoming a better trader. The futures analysis tool allows traders to quickly and easily evaluate your historical trading performance.

With this tool, you'll be able to track your trades in a calendar view, profitability by ticker and see detailed trading related metrics. Some of the advanced metrics include:

Realized PnL: Closed PnL + Trading fee + Funding fee + Liquidation fee.
Profit factor: which is calculated as the total profit divided by the total loss. It measures the effectiveness of a trading strategy in generating profit.
Risk/reward ratio: which is calculated as the average PnL of losing positions divided by the average PnL of winning positions. It measures the average reward in comparison to the average risk of a position, providing insight into the balance between potential gains and losses.
