Frequently Asked Questions

Return on Investment (ROI) is a measure of the percentage rate over your total investment during a specified time period.

 

Roi% Calculation Formula

 

Where:


Ee: Equity at the end of the day
Se: Equity at the start of the day
Co: Cash outflow/Daily funds removed from the account
Ci: Cash inflow / Daily funds added in the account

 

ROI % Example


Ee: 250,000
Se: 100,000
Co: 30,000
Ci: 20,000

 

 

ROI% = ((250,000+30,000)-(100,000+20,000))/(100,000+20,000) = 133.33%

 

 

Important Notes

 

  • Cash flow/Funds added or removed from the trading account may include, but not limited to, Transfer In, Transfer Out, Balance Promotions, and/or any adjustments/corrections.
  • To track the total performance of the account we are using the Equity. Equity includes both closed and open positions during a period.

Daily Change Calculation Formula

 

 

Daily Change % = [(Previous Day ROI% – Today’s ROI%)] / Previous Day ROI%

Gain Calculation Formula

 

 

Gain = (Ee + Co) – (Se + Ci)

 

 

 

Where:

 

 

Ee: Equity at the end of the competition
Se: Equity at the start of the competition
Co: Cash outflow/funds removed from the account during the competition
Ci: Cash inflow / funds added in the account during the competition

 

 

Gain Example

 

 

Ee: 100,000
Se: 50,000
Co: 30,000
Ci: 10,000

 

 

Gain = (100,000 + 30,000) – (50,000 + 10,000) = 70,000

Maximum Drawdown %

 

The maximum drawdown represents the greatest loss (worst ROI%) the trading account suffered during the competition at the end of a day, taking into consideration today’s day. It is an observation of the downside risk of a trading account over a specified time.

Volatility of Returns %

 

It is a statistical measure using the standard deviation, measuring the dispersion of daily returns (Daily ROI%). It is an observation of how the daily returns tend to change. A low reading indicates that the trading behaviour is less volatile, therefore, it is considered as lower risk portfolio. A high reading indicates that the trading account behaviour is more volatile, therefore, it is considered as a higher risk portfolio.

The Sharpe Ratio describes the extended to which the investment in the trading account compensates for extra risk. This ratio is also called the risk-return ratio which allows you to determine if the trading trading choices will deliver the highest returns while considering risk. It allows you to observe the excess return you receive in relation to the asset/s volatility. A higher reading indicates that returns have been better relative to the risk it has taken on. Below 1 or negative reading indicates that returns have been bad relative to the risk it has taken on.
