A smooth growth chart can be misleading if it ignores deposits, withdrawals or floating drawdown. The account may look larger because cash was added, not because the strategy improved.
What to track
| Metric | Use |
|---|---|
| Balance growth | Closed account growth. |
| Equity growth | Live growth including floating P/L. |
| Deposits and withdrawals | Separates trading return from cash movement. |
| Max drawdown | Shows the cost of growth. |
Risk-adjusted growth
Two accounts can both be up 10%, but one may have used 3% drawdown while the other used 20%. Track return beside drawdown so the quality of growth is visible.
Sharing performance
If you share performance publicly, show the rules: whether deposits are included, whether equity is live and how drawdown is calculated. For shareable reporting, see xTracker.
Track growth with the risk attached.
