Position Sizer

Type in the search box (e.g. "MES", "Gold", "NQ") or browse the category tabs — Equity, Micro, FX, Metals, Energy, Rates, Crypto, Ag. Click any contract to load its tick size and point value automatically.

Click the firm selector. Your account balance and commission fill in automatically. If you trade retail, select Custom and enter your balance manually. The firm's daily loss limit and max drawdown appear as live gauges below.

Use the slider or type directly into the % box. Most prop firm traders use 0.5%–1% per trade. The calculator shows your exact dollar risk budget in real time.

Choose Ticks, Points, or Dollars depending on how you plan your stops. Enter the size. Example: 10 ticks on MES = $12.50 per contract stop.

Enter your target in R. A 2R target means your profit target is 2× your stop distance. The calculator shows your net target dollar amount after commission.

The gold box shows your position size in contracts. The red box shows your maximum risk in dollars. The green box shows your net target if you hit 2R (or whatever you set). These update instantly as you change any input.

Type your entry price and the calculator shows exact stop and target prices so you know exactly where to place your orders.

Click + Log Trade to send the trade details directly to your journal. It pre-fills the symbol, entry price, direction, and contract count so you only need to add the result later.

Fill in the top form. At minimum enter: date, symbol, direction (Long/Short), and your P&L. Everything else is optional but the more you fill in, the better your statistics become.

Set the Status dropdown to Active ⚡ when you enter a trade that is still running. It appears as a card at the top of the page. When the trade closes, click ✓ Close on the card to move it to Trade History.

MFE (Maximum Favourable Excursion) = how far the trade moved in your favour before you exited. MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion) = how far it moved against you. Find these in your platform's trade history. They reveal whether you exit winners too early or let losers run.

Click the ✏ pencil icon on any trade row to edit all fields. The form reloads with existing values. Make changes and click Save Changes.

The Show Fields bar at the top lets you hide columns you don't use — MFE/MAE, Emotion, Context, Discipline Score, R Multiple. Your preferences are saved automatically.

If you have multiple accounts (live, paper, backtest) the pill buttons at the top let you switch which account's trades are shown. Set up accounts in the Accounts section first.

Shows your running P&L over time. Hover over any point to see the trade details. A smooth upward curve with shallow drawdowns is the goal. Jagged up-and-down means inconsistency.

Win rate alone doesn't tell the full story. A 40% win rate with 3R average winners beats a 70% win rate with 0.5R average winners. Look at both together. Profit Factor above 1.5 is healthy.

The hourly heatmap shows your P&L by time of day. If you consistently lose in the afternoon, stop trading afternoons. This is one of the most actionable insights in the whole platform.

Each dot is a trade. Dots far right = you let winners run. Dots far down = you let losers run too. If most dots are clustered near the top-left, you're cutting winners short. If they trail down-right, you're not respecting stops.

The breakdown tables show which setups are actually profitable vs which feel good. Most traders have 2–3 setups that drive all the profit and several that quietly lose. The point of logging is to see which is which.

Tick off each rule before you enter a trade. The daily discipline score (0–10) is calculated from how many rules you followed. Click the ✏ edit button on any rule to customise the text. Add your own rules with + Add Rule.

After a series of consecutive losses, TrackEdge flags a tilt warning. It also monitors if today's losses are significantly above your daily average. The alert is a prompt — not a rule — to step back and assess.

For prop firm traders on accounts with consistency rules (Topstep, Earn2Trade), the monitor shows what percentage of total profit your best day represents. Keep it below the limit (usually 30–40%) to stay compliant.

The 30-day chart shows your discipline score over time. Declining scores often precede drawdown periods. Rising scores correlate with better performance. Use this to identify when you start slipping before losses follow.

Every rule has an Edit button. Click it, type the new rule text, press Enter or Save. Default rules can be edited but not removed. Custom rules you've added can be removed with the × button.

The AI Coach has 8 modes: Full Analysis, Pattern Recognition, Risk Management, Emotional Patterns, Setup Ranking, Time Analysis, MFE/MAE Deep Dive, and Discipline Review. Pick the one most relevant to what you want to understand.

The AI reads all your journal entries and statistics, then provides specific observations about your trading — not generic advice. The more trades you have logged, the more specific and useful the output.

If the AI service is unavailable, a local analysis runs automatically using your data. It's less conversational but covers the key metrics — win rates by setup, time patterns, and risk stats.

Good AI coaching produces 1–3 specific, testable recommendations. Example: "You lose 73% of trades taken after 1pm ET — try stopping at 12:30." Test each recommendation for 2–4 weeks before drawing conclusions.

Live Account — your real funded or retail account. Paper Trade — practicing without real money. Prop Evaluation — tracking an evaluation attempt. Funded Account — a passed evaluation. Backtest — historical strategy testing. Forward Test — testing a new strategy in real time. Copy Account — tracking trades copied from another account.

Click + New Account. Fill in the name, type, balance, broker, and optionally a strategy label and notes. Click Create Account. It appears in the grid with its own trade stats.

Click Set Active on any account card. All new journal entries are tagged to the active account. The active account appears in the nav bar and on the calculator's Log Trade button.

Create a Copy Account and in the Edit modal, set the Master Account field to the account it copies from. The account card shows the master account name. You can create multiple copy accounts linked to one master.

Use a Backtest account to log historical trades from before TrackEdge. Use a Forward Test account to paper trade a new strategy in real time. Statistics for each are kept completely separate from your live account.
