"PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FREE VERSION DOES NOT INCLUDE ACCOUNT OR TRADE ACTIVITY ALARMS"
cTrader Alarm Manager Dashboard (FREE)
The dashboard should be able to provide you with all the information at a glance to assist your trading, you do not need to start the alarm monitor to view the information. It includes an account overview, trade activity status, and the most important piece of information you will need the Drawdown gauge.
Monetary Win/Loss
Win/Loss ratio is used in calculating the risk/reward ratio. It is not very useful on its own because it does not consider the monetary value won or lost in each trade. For example, a win/loss ratio 2:1 means the trader has twice as many winning trades than losing. Sounds good, but if the losing trades have dollar losses three times as large as the dollar gains of the winning trades, the trader has a losing strategy. The application uses Net Profit/Net Loss in currency to give you an accurate view of what is happening.
Drawdown Gauge
This useful gauge will show the current drawdown of your account, it has a direct relation to how much of your capital you are risking, the higher the drawdown the more you enter the realm of gambling. If your outlook on trading is low risk, then you would be looking at a drawdown of 5% or less.
The maximum value for the gauge can be changed in the settings up to any value up to 100.
Margin Available
This is shown as a % or monetary value by checking the box on the right.
