What your MT4 report reveals
- True expectancy: the average dollars per trade across your entire history — the one number that decides if you make money.
- Profit factor and win rate calculated net of commissions, swaps and ticket fees — not the gross numbers MT4 shows.
- The fee floor: what you must earn per trade just to cover costs, and the win rate your trade sizes would need to break even.
- Loss streaks, drawdown depth and trading cadence — how often you really trade and what your worst stretch looked like.
Why the MT4 terminal stats lie
- The account history tab shows profit per trade but never what fees took out of it — the edge looks bigger than it is.
- MT4 has no expectancy calculation: a 70% win rate with oversized losses still loses money.
- No fee floor: most MT4 traders never learn how much performance they must generate just to pay the broker.
- Gross P&L flatters overtraders — every extra trade adds spread cost that quietly compounds against you.
