In my opinion there is no need for special tools to evaluate our trades. We just have to look in MT4 about the history of transactions and see where we often make mistakes

the use of MetaTrader is no stranger to those of you who are using trading as a business, so indeed when you can use MetaTrader well then it is certain that you can use the tools in the world of forex trading, you just need to add the indicators in it.

The tool used to evaluate is your travel history by looking at the history and you can see what was your fault that you have done so you can change it or fix it, that is the easiest way. If you are wrong in using indicators or cannot use indicators, then you learn first.

the easiest thing is to do a capture or screen shoot every time you enter a position and do it when it's clear, and times the date is also every capture, so once a week on saturday do a re-check

We can use a trading journal, that is, we make daily notes every time we trade or open a position, why we buy or sell, how many lots we use, whether the trading results are profit or loss and other reasons.

I don't use any instruments when I do an evaluation what I do is how to evaluate my system, most of my systems are the same, I should use simple indicators.

Note what I mean is the success or profit we get every month, for example, if 2 months ago we made 15% profit / month and in this boast it decreased to 10% of course there is something less than our trading this month and of course this is what we will fix in the coming month.

it is very important for the continuation of our trading but what I often see are many traders who do not want to do that but prefer to switch trading techniques when someone shows off their profit results even though it is not necessarily the new technique that he can run well

We have a trading plan, so if the trading plan works, it means the trading was successful. Because trading goes according to plan. Each trader has their own trading plan so we can judge for ourselves.

Evaluation can only be done when we experience a definite defeat and the tool or instrument that becomes the basic material for evaluation is Yes, our own trading plan, what we do is what we evaluate. What we wrote earlier is what we evaluate and also regarding the future of the Platform maybe you should be able to use MetaTrader well

there are actually many ways so that you can do an evaluation. You can do an evaluation in an easy way, namely by using the calculations that are indeed used for analysis. So you have to know how to analyze and treat money well

I think points one and two are the priority as a tool to evaluate the performance we do for trading, the first point is to make a trading journal that is needed to record what we have done,

Which important points have been successful and have not been successful so that we can evaluate based on these results, the second point is the record of income and capital expenditures, by always writing down it is certainly clearer what to do to increase profits.
