Real-Time Performance Analytics & Trade Journal on Your Chart
What Is It?
Trade Journal & Dashboard is an on-chart analytics panel that automatically tracks every closed trade and calculates professional performance metrics in real time. No spreadsheets, no external apps — everything you need to evaluate your trading performance lives directly on your MT5 chart.
It reads your trade history, computes win rate, profit factor, expectancy, drawdown, streaks, and more — updated every second.

Key Formulas
Win Rate = Wins / Total Trades × 100
Profit Factor = Gross Profit / Gross Loss
- PF > 1.5 = Good | PF > 2.0 = Excellent | PF < 1.0 = Losing
Expectancy = (Win% × Avg Win) - (Loss% × Avg Loss)
- Positive = profitable system over time
- This is the single most important metric for any trading strategy
Risk-to-Reward = Avg Win / Avg Loss
- R:R > 1.5 with 40%+ win rate = solid strategy
- R:R > 2.0 with 35%+ win rate = excellent strategy
