Live MetriX: A Tool for Analyzing and Improving Your Prop Trading
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 behavior.
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 behavior. It helps you spot mistakes before they materialize 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:
- Log into your Client Area
- Select the account you want to analyze
- Click the Live MetriX icon, and the 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 unrealized 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 (FTMO Challenge, Free Trial), size, platform, and start and end dates of the trading period.
3. Open Trades Overview
The newly added Open Trades section displays all essential trade data: position (long/short), 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 analyzed, including symbol, volume, position (long/short), SL/TP, and entry/exit times. The trade’s evolution is visualized 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
Why It Matters?
Live MetriX isn’t just a dashboard. It’s your second pair of eyes—objective, tireless, and always on. Whether you're in the middle of an FTMO Challenge, refining your strategy for a Verification, or managing an FTMO Rewards account, knowing what’s really going on under the surface can make the difference between repeating mistakes and breaking through.
