Hi Brian,
I am an experienced trader
(30+ years!) and congratulate you on the advice and information you are
providing to traders on your website and videos.
You are obviously an
experienced trader youself with excellent resources, and I am
finding your Trading
Performance Analyser, in particular, a most useful tool indeed - I
cannot work without it now!
Many thanks, and keep up
the good work.
Regards,

Your Trading Is A Process
Your trading involves the process of you selecting trades to enter,
entering those trades and then following them through until you exit
for either a profit or a loss.
At the heart of this process is your trading system or methodology. This is what you have chosen as your guide to profitable trades and as your protection against losses.
This process have several inputs and outputs, the most important of which is...
not profits!
What?!?
The most important output of the process is how consistently you can repeat the successful execution of your trading system or method.
If you have a proven system, then you need to follow that system for it to do its job for you!
Step 1 -
Building Confidence and Eliminating Fear
One of the greatest challenges for all traders is discipline. Sticking to their system and not shooting themselves in the foot by deviating and making bad decisions.
That lack of discipline most often comes from fear. Fear that they system isn't going to come through, especially if you've just encountered a series of losing trades.
Fear usually comes from a lack of confidence, so the best way to build sufficient confidence in your system is to PROVE the system.
So how do you do that in a way that works?
The Right Numbers Tell The Whole Story
If someone were to approach you with trading system and all they had to say was "it makes a lot of money", you'd be pretty skeptical, right?
You'd want more specific information.
You'd want to know what makes it a profitable system, wouldn't you?
All
businesses have key measurables that make the bottom line what it is
and trading is no different.
Just looking at the trade in hand and your monthly account statements
is NOT likely to give you much useful information if you want to see
significant improvements.
You need to have in your hands real trading measurables such as:
-
your winning percentage - are you winning as much as you think you are?
-
your true profit/loss ratio - who cares how many winners you have? if this is not where it should be, your account balance still won't be going up
-
your average return per trade you place - this is critical for confidence and making improvements
-
your actual ROI - this is what it's all about. You want to know that for every dollar you're putting in, you're seeing a good return.
-
your true income potential from your trading - if you really do want to quit your J-O-B and be a full time trader, this is what you need to focus on. Run the numbers and don't go on faith
-
your hourly rate as a trader - is trading paying you what you're worth for the time you're putting in?
-
and more.... (See further on down the page)
Not sure how to properly analyze your trading system? There is a right way and a wrong way to go about it, and if you do it incorrectly, your efforts are likely to be wasted and potentially cost you money!

It is a great benefit to know what
your metrics are right now, but the
pros know to track their progress to ensure that they keep heading in
the right direction.
Through monitoring your individual metrics, you keep a keen sense of
where your best opportunities are to be found.
As you identify specific aspects of your system's performance through the tracking, you can then act!
Step 3 - Focus On Continuous Improvement
When you see what your numbers tell you and you have a means to test
any changes, then you can try different things to see what works.
You use what you've already got as your control, and then compare what your control with what you are considering.
Important note: treat your control and anything else as separate systems! Don't mix the data or it will skew your evaluation.
The next thing you'll want to do is start looking ahead. This is one of the most anxiety-filled parts of trading for most because they don't know what to expect.
Now you have a tool to look ahead with confidence!
Introducing The Trading Performance Analyzer!
| "Using the TPA has given me the confidence to stick with my system." |
| "Brian I'd always wanted to see how consistent I was each month but before using the Trading Performance Analyzer I had no idea how one month compared to another. Now I can see my results from month to month. I had a month that was lower than expected so I was able to go back through my trading journal and review my trades. I found some mistakes I had made and was able to correct them. Every month since then has been consistently where I want it. With the TPA I'm able to see my results and it helps to keep me on track. I like being able to easily see my P/L ratio, winning trades % and the number of trades which has kept me from over trading. And being able to see my risk/reward ratio has really helped me improve in that area. I was testing three systems but really had no idea how they were performing. The backtesting feature made this easy to see. Two systems did not perform well and had too much of a drawdown even when following my strict money management rules. The third showed good results and I've been very profitable with it for the past six months. Using the TPA has given me the confidence to stick with my system. Now I can see all of my results and as long as I stick to my rules I now know I can stay consistently profitable." Matt Anderson Cape Coral, FL |
| "In fact, I can't imagine successfully trading without it now." |
| "Brian, Just a note of thanks to you for the TPA. I have been back testing a new (to me) system and plugging the results into the analyzer. The information that it gives me is vital to understanding what this or any system can do. It is giving me a confidence in my system that otherwise might have been shaken by a few small losses. I have to admit, when I first got this I thought it was a cool 'toy', and figured I'd use it some time to track trades or something. Little did I know it would prove to be such a powerful learning tool. In fact, I can't imagine successfully trading without it now. I also have to admit that I didn't really 'get' everything you were talking about regarding psychology and how proper planning helps you to be better prepared mentally for the ups and downs of trading, but since I actually began to make use of this, it sort of pulls everything together. In fact, I think I'll go back and re read everything again and see how much I really missed the first time around! Thanks again for something that really is helpful." Richard Daniels St. Louis, MO |
The other benefit of having your historical trading numbers is that it makes forecasting for the future that much easier!
One of the most difficult questions a trader can have is: "What can I expect from my trading for the next month, next quarter and most importantly for the next year?"
As part of treating your trading like the business that it is, forecasting is critical.
Being able to look ahead and see what to expect is a great way to lower both your anxiety and discomfort.
Instead of you spending hours wrestling with Excel and trying to figure out how to bring all this information together, I've done all the hard work for you so you can have at your fingertips all the information you want within just a few minutes each month or any time you want.
Three easy-to-use spreadsheets that give you all the critical numbers you want, keep track of all your critical metrics as you go through the year, AND give you a look at the year ahead. Plus, I made sure that this is simple, user-friendly, printer-friendly and complete.

| "it is so easy to use, easy to understand..." |
| "Backtesting your system
is
the most critical thing you must do as a trader! In fact, knowing a system’s metrics has been the turnaround point for so many traders that I've worked with I just can't stress its value and importance enough. Historically, backtesting wasn’t easy, and that’s why I love the Trading Performance Analyzer. Unlike every other backtester out there, it is so easy to use, easy to understand, and includes the critical metrics you need to take your trading to the next level. For the difference this can make, it is an incredible bargain and I strongly recommend that you get it right now and start using it!" David Jenyns - Professional Trader, Coach and Author www.meta-formula.com |
| "The TPA saved me a lot of time" |
| "I
have been testing/comparing two trading strategies for the last 90
days. I have gathered data from back testing and real-time
testing and plugged it into the Trading Performance Analyzer. I was amazed at how easy it was to determine which strategy had the biggest effect on my bottom line. The TPA saved me a lot of time and made the process of comparison much simpler and easier. I will continue to use it to keep track of my method's performance from this point on. This is an important tool for any serious trader's tool box. Thanks!" Pat Davis, Individual Trader Colorado Springs, CO |
| "It is so much easier to use than a lot of other more complicated software out there." |
|
"I regard myself as a serious trader and monitor my trading metrics very closely. However to get this data at the end of each month was a real chore for me, having to grind through my own clumsy Excel spreadsheets and collate information from different sources. If only there were a quicker and more efficient way !This is a great piece of software. It is simple to use and provides all my trading metrics in a clear and concise format – all updated immediately as I enter each new trade. I also use it to backtest trading ideas and get the real picture of a system’s performance before committing valuable trading capital. It is so much easier to use than a lot of other more complicated software out there. This is an essential piece of software for anyone who takes their trading seriously." John Tomson, Individual Trader |

POWERFUL information to have in hand BEFORE you risk your money!
Version 7.5 Just Released!!!
Added Features
- Streaks and drawdowns
Every
system will experience drawdowns. What is tremendously important
to
know is how much of a drawdown your system can handle and still make
you money. It is when you experience a few losing trades that the
temptation to deviate from your system gets really strong. But
that is
exactly when you need to keep your discipline, because you want to be
sticking to your system when the drawdown ends and you get a series of
winners!
Now
the Trading Performance Analyzer will track your winning and losing
streaks, how much you made or lost during those streaks, AND show you
what your greatest overall drawdown was. Powerful information for
keeping your discipline!
- New Analyzer sheet that will let you analyze virtually unlimited trades!
- Reward to risk ratios for your winners, losers and overall - this is tremendously important so that you KNOW:
Is your system keeping your trades to what you expect? If you think you're entering trades with a 3:1 but in reality your winners are only producing 2.5:1, this is huge!
Are your risk management (capital protection measures) really keeping your losses where you are comfortable? A 1:1 on the R-multiple for losers means that you're okay, but if it is higher, then you're risking more money than you thought going in on your trades.
The overall R-multiple tells you
what your profitability is on the money you risked - this is different
than the capital required to place the trade. Is your system delivering
regarding money made versus money-risked?
You definitely want to track your progress as the year goes along. On this sheet, you can track all your measurables for an entire year, plus get Year-to-Date totals for all of them.
You enter:
- Your beginning balance
- The date of the month you are starting your sheet

| "...is an essential tool if you are serious about trading as a business." |
| "In
the Trading
Performance Analyzer, Brian has brought together all
the key statistical information that a trader needs to plan
realistically for the future. Trying to figure it all out yourself is the kind of thing that is dull and difficult to work out, but is crucial for giving the trader the confidence to get on and trade a system, concentrating on execution, while knowing what the reward for consistently applying the rules will be. You can play around with different figures for income withdrawal, and see the effect on the end equity. The information it provides represents an important edge for the trader, and is an essential tool if you are serious about trading as a business." - Julian Karolyi, Individual Trader Edinburgh, UK |
As you can see, this Excel workbook took a considerable amount of time to put together. I'm fairly savvy with Excel, and it took me over 40 hours of time and a LOT of tweaks and changes to get it just right, so that it will be incredibly easy for you to use, and at the same time be very powerful in the information it provides.
You already know how valuable this information is, and maybe you've given it a try or two to create something like this for yourself.
But your time is very valuable as well, and I totally respect that. That's why I went to the bother to create this for you. You've got a life to live and your trading time is precious as well. Rather than have you spend hours sitting in front of the PC trying to create this yourself, I wanted to make this available so that you can have all this critical information at your fingertips whenever you like, and your time can be spent honing your trading skills or spending it with your family.

“Wow!,
Talk about having everything at your fingertips. Before I got my hands
on the Trading Performance Analyzer, it took me hours every month going
through my trade results, seeing if I was reaching my targets and goals. It has literally saved me many hours a month, and now I can see how much that is worth to me. Brian, once again you've given my trading profits a great boost.” - Dean Whittingham Melbourne, Australia The Financial Market Fisherman |
