5.7Break-even filter
What is it? Trades you close close to entry (e.g. stop moved to break-even) are neither real winners nor losers. The filter leaves them out of rates and averages.
What you get
- Win rate, profit factor and expectancy without distortion from tiny wins or losses
- One threshold for every page: dashboard, accounts, trades, analytics, setups and calendar
- Net PnL, balance and prop limits always stay complete
How it works
- Open Settings › Analysis.
- Turn on “Don't count break-even trades” and set the threshold: amount (± in account currency) or R.
- Optional: override the threshold per account (empty = value above).
- Save. On dashboard, accounts, analytics and setups you can switch the filter any time with “Don't count break-even”.
Good to know
- Break-even means: |net PnL| ≤ threshold or |R| ≤ R threshold. The R threshold only applies to trades with risk; without an R value the amount threshold applies.
- Without break-even: win rate, averages, profit factor, expectancy, streaks, R, setup, time and news analyses, trading profile.
- With break-even: net PnL, balance, PnL curve, drawdown, costs, prop limits and consistency.
- Affected trades carry the tag “BE”; a note shows their count and sum.
- No conversion: the threshold applies in each account's currency.
FAQ
- Why doesn't my net PnL change?
- On purpose: the filter only changes rates and averages, never amounts of money.
- How do I find all break-even trades?
- In the trade list with the filter “Break-even only”.
