Portfolio and performance
Viewing open positions, tracking account balance, and strategy performance measurements.
Portfolio monitoring
You can track active positions, simulated paper trades, and historical metrics directly from Telegram. VarianTrade retrieves live data from your connected MetaTrader 5 account to construct a detailed record of execution efficiency.
Core monitoring commands
The chat interface supports dedicated reporting commands to inspect performance metrics:
/portfolio: Lists your active open positions, entry prices, current prices, and live unrealised P&L./accuracy: Displays signal resolution stats, tracking outcomes across individual assets./perf: Displays the performance metrics and historical track record of the VarianTrade system account./myperf: Displays your personal trading account metrics, closed trade counts, and realised win/loss statistics.
Tracked performance metrics
Every order routed through VarianTrade is tracked to record its exact execution path. The system monitors the following metrics to evaluate trade efficiency:
- Signal outcomes: Every signal is followed until it resolves to one of four states:
pending,won,lost, orexpired. - Achieved risk-to-reward: The actual realised risk-to-reward ratio is measured against the initial projected ratio at signal generation.
- Slippage: The difference between the requested entry price and the broker’s real fill price.
- Maximum Adverse Excursion (MAE): The maximum unrealised loss experienced by the position during its lifetime.
- Maximum Favorable Excursion (MFE): The maximum unrealised profit experienced by the position during its lifetime.
Empirical performance tracking
VarianTrade measures and tracks real outcomes rather than presenting hypothetical or theoretical backtest calculations. By logging every entry, exit, and excursion, the platform measures strategy performance empirically. This focus on measured metrics ensures that your performance logs reflect actual execution history.
