New Charts – MAE/MFE

We’re happy to announce the addition of another useful tool to your toolbox: MAE/MFE Charts (available in your advanced statistics):

Maximum Adverse Excursion and Maximum Favorable Excursion

MAE stands for Maximum Adverse Excursion which is the maximal loss the trade had experienced before it was closed.

MFE stands for Maximum Favorable Excursion which is the maximum profit that the trade had experienced before it was closed.

This data is already available in each of your trades (for verified accounts) and now you can easily see it in a chart to easily identify better targets (take profit) and stops (stop losses).

MAE/MFE Options

Using the ‘more’ button at the top will reveal the combination of 6 6 different charts:

  • MAE Vs. Trade Outcome in pips
  • MAE Vs. Trade Outcome in gain
  • MAE Vs. Trade Outcome in profit
  • MAE Vs. MFE – Winners Vs. Losers in pips
  • MAE Vs. MFE – Winners Vs. Losers in gain
  • MAE Vs. MFE – Winners Vs. Losers in profit

To start analyzing your MAE/MFE data, login and go to your portfolio.

Wish you a great week ahead!

Commitments Of Traders

We’ve added a new section called COT Data. The data is reported by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) every week. COT stands for commitments of traders data and contains an aggregated report of the different holdings of market participants in the US futures market (where you can trade currencies, commodities and metals such as gold and silver). The report is plotted against a currency chart for easy viewing (This is similar to our Community Outlook section):

Commitments of Traders

We’ve also added a new feature – ability to link your verified trading account to a chart, showing your exact trade entries, just as in the trade browser:

You can attach the account by going to the settings of the chart:

Another update we’ve made to the portfolio and user page charts – they’re now interactive and you can zoom in/out to easily compare performances:

Have a great week,

The Myfxbook Team.
