Live MetriX: A Tool for Analysing and Improving Your Trading

Every market entry, every stop-loss placement, and every exit reveals something about your strategy, discipline, and sometimes even your mindset. But how can you actually measure these elements?

Live MetriX, the latest version of our analytical tool, provides the answer. If you haven’t explored it yet, you’re missing out on a feature that could fundamentally transform how you view your own trading. And if you’re already using it, you’ve probably noticed it’s not just a facelift. It’s a completely new approach to tracking, evaluating, and improving trading behaviour.

Why Profit Alone Isn’t Enough

Many traders focus on two numbers: how much they made today and how much they could lose. But if you’re serious about trading, you know that PnL alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

Successful traders understand their data. They know when they act on impulse, which instruments perform best for them, and at what times they trade most efficiently. Most importantly—they work with data continuously, not just in hindsight.

Live MetriX helps with exactly that. It’s not just statistics; it’s a real-time mirror of your trading behaviour. It helps you spot mistakes before they materialise and shows you where you can make smarter decisions.

Where to Find Live MetriX and How to Start

Getting started with Live MetriX is simple, intuitive, and takes just a few seconds. Everything is available in your Client Area:

  1. Log into your Client Area

  2. Select the account you want to analyse

  3. Click the Live MetriX icon, and system will automatically redirect you to the new version

No transfers, no configuration, no setup required. All your data is preserved, just in a cleaner, more interactive environment.

What’s New in Live MetriX?

The new Live MetriX isn’t just a visual update. It’s a completely rebuilt tool offering more data, better clarity, and deeper control over your trading. Each section is designed to help you understand not just your outcomes but the reasons behind them.

1. Interactive Account Equity Chart

At first glance, it looks simple, but it’s one of the most powerful visual feedback tools. You instantly see how your account has developed over the trading period, not only in terms of profit and loss but also overall stability.

Compared to the old MetriX, this version offers a dynamic and detailed overview. You’ll see your balance in both absolute and percentage terms, visually distinct drawdown periods, and above the chart, key metrics like balance, equity, and unrealised PnL.

2. Key Account Parameters

This section gives you a quick overview, especially helpful if you manage multiple accounts. You’ll get all the essential info, such as account type (Challenge, Free Trial), size, platform, start and end dates of the trading period.

3. Open Trades Overview

The newly added Open Trades section displays all essential trade data: type, lot size, open time, instrument, current profit/loss, pip count, and duration.

Clear and all in one place, so you can make quick, confident decisions. Instantly see:

How trades are progressing
Whether you're sticking to your plan
If any positions are breaching your comfort zone

4. Trading Journal

If one feature makes Live MetriX a true game changer, it’s the Journal. But this isn’t just a diary. It’s a powerful analytical tool.

Every trade is thoroughly analysed, including symbol, volume, type, SL/TP, and entry/exit times. The trade’s evolution is visualised in a dedicated chart. You can also add personal notes or screenshots from the platform and compare your planned strategy to actual execution.

Plus, you get advanced insights like MFE/MAE, SL/TP efficiency, and other statistics that reveal:

What time of day you perform best
Whether you trade better long or short
How you manage large vs. small positions
Which instruments are your long-term strengths

Live MetriX Becomes the New Standard

From 8 July 2025 to 15 July 2025, traders will be able to switch between the old and new versions of Live MetriX, with the new version set as default. This transitional phase gives you time to explore the redesigned interface and enhanced features at your own pace.

Please note that the original version of MetriX will be permanently deactivated on 15 July 2025. From that point forward, only the new Live MetriX will be available. Offering significantly broader analytical capabilities, without any loss of existing data. No transfers or configuration needed. Simply log in and start using the upgraded tool.
