Note

The color of the total PNL (Profit and Loss) and last day PNL boxes are dynamic and will be adjusted based on their value. When the PNL is positive, the box will be colored green, indicating a gain. Conversely, when PNL is negative, the box will be colored red, signaling a loss.

Tip

Volatility is a measure of risk and is calculated by getting the standard deviation of the return of the portfolio. The lower the volatility the lower the risk level of the portfolio!

Dive into Visuals#

Get ready for a deeper understanding! Our visualizations provide a detailed look into your portfolio’s performance. On the left, track the flow of your portfolio value over time since the paper trader took the stage, broken down with daily granularity.

Over on the right, check the dynamic bar chart illustrating your daily profits and losses. Watch as winning trades light up in green, and losses are boldly marked in red. It’s a visual journey that adds a layer of insight to your trading experience.

Hint

Imagine a case where the asset price is at $100 and you want to open a new position manually with 5% stop loss, below you can find a simplke example of what would it mean in case of LONG / SHORT positions

  • LONG:

    • Stop Loss = 95

    • Take Profit = 105

  • SHORT:

    • Stop Loss = 105

    • Take Profit = 95
