Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trading journal?
A trading journal is a record of every trade you take — entry, exit, stop, size, strategy tag, notes and the market context at the time. Reviewed weekly it surfaces the patterns your brain hides from you: which setups actually have an edge, which symbols cost you money, which days of the week you over-trade. The FinToolbox Trading Journal (Premium) auto-computes R-multiples, equity curve, drawdown and a strategy-by-strategy P&L heatmap so the review takes minutes, not hours.
How do I calculate win rate?
Win rate is the number of winning trades divided by the total number of closed trades, expressed as a percentage. It's only meaningful when applied to a consistent setup with consistent risk per trade — a 70% win rate on tiny wins and giant losses still loses money. Pair win rate with average R-multiple to know whether your edge is real; the Win Rate Simulator on FinToolbox runs a Monte-Carlo so you can see how variance can mask a real edge over a small sample of trades.
What is R-multiple?
R-multiple expresses a trade's outcome as a multiple of the dollar amount you risked at entry. A +2R trade made twice your risk; a −1R trade lost exactly the risk you defined by your stop. Because every trader risks a different absolute dollar amount, R-multiples are the only performance unit that compares cleanly across accounts, time periods and instruments. The Trading Journal records and averages R-multiples for every trade automatically.
