Trade History Section

3 min. readlast update: 06.03.2025

The Trade History section gives you a detailed view of every trade you’ve made.

It’s more than just a log — it’s a powerful Trading Journal for learning and improving.

You can also journal your trades by adding notes and tags, making it easy to track your thinking and find specific trades later.

  • Review past trades to spot what works and what doesn’t.

  • Tag trades (e.g., “breakout”, “news trade”, “overtrade”) so you can filter and revisit them anytime.

  • Write notes about your emotions, setup, or lessons learned for each trade — your personal trading journal.

 

🔷 Understanding the Trade Data

Here’s what each part means and how it helps you:

 


 

🔷 Trade Identification & Timing

Trade ID: Unique ID for each trade.

Open & Close Time: Shows when the trade started and ended. Helps track how long you hold trades and when you usually trade.

 


 

🔷 Execution Details

Buy/Sell: Whether it was a long (buy) or short (sell) position.

Volume: Lot size — how big your trade was.

Item: The asset traded (e.g., EUR/USD, Gold, NAS100).

Open/Close Price: Your entry and exit points — essential for reviewing accuracy and timing.

 


 

🔷 Risk Management

Stop Loss (SL): Price that limits your loss automatically.

Take Profit (TP): Price that locks in your profit automatically.

SOL $ (Stop-Out Level): The lowest balance your account can reach before breaching your funded account. This helps protect you from blowing the account.

Max SL (Maximum Stop Loss Distance in Pips): Shows the largest stop loss (in pips) you’ve used. It helps you see if your risk levels are consistent or too wide.

RPP $ (Risk Per Position in USD): The amount of money you’re risking per trade. It's useful for checking your risk as a fixed dollar amount.

RPP % (Risk Per Position as % of Initial Balance): Shows how much of your starting balance you risked on that trade. It helps ensure you’re not risking too much per position (e.g., keep it under 1%).

 


 

🔷 Cost & Profit

Commission: Broker fee per trade.

Swap: Overnight fees for holding a trade after midnight platform time.

Profit: Earnings from the trade before commissions and swaps.

Net Profit: Profit after commissions and swaps — the real result.

Cumulative Balance: Shows your account growth trade by trade.
