Period Performance
The analysis says where. The tools say how much.
This page reads the market. It cannot tell you what USDJPY costs you to hold, how large a position your risk actually allows, or whether the trade you are about to open is the one you already have. The trader toolkit answers those from the same live broker book you have just been reading.
- Overnight cost — the real swap, charged per night, per lot
- Position size — from your account, your stop and your risk
- Correlation — whether two open ideas are one idea
- Backtest — long or short, with the carry charged honestly
