Managing subscriptions and result analytics
Connecting a strategy is a one-off action. What follows is ongoing work: watching the metrics, cutting out losing slices, pausing subscriptions and replacing weak strategies with strong ones.
Pausing and rotating strategies
Subscription management means you can pause a subscription at any moment and rotate strategies against one another: remove the old and ineffective ones, keep only the best, and replace them with new providers. The portfolio is not fixed at the start — it is rebuilt as some strategies degrade and others prove themselves better.
Statuses and quick actions
- Active
- The subscription is running; trades are being copied.
- Paused
- Copying is stopped and no new trades are opened. Resumed with the Resume button.
- Pending approval
- Awaiting the strategy author’s approval — for On request subscriptions.
- Closed
- The subscription is closed; only history is available.
What is available for each subscription
- Settings — change the risk settings and reallocate capital within your own portfolio.
- Positions — open positions with floating P/L, a Resync button to re-synchronize and the option to close all positions at once.
- Position history — the history of closed trades with the final P/L and a CSV export.
- Events — an action log: creation, pause, resume, settings changes.
Eight key metrics
- Growth
- Capital growth over the period.
- Max drawdown
- Maximum drawdown from a local peak.
- Sharpe ratio
- The return-to-risk ratio: how much return is earned per unit of volatility.
- Profit factor
- The ratio of total profit to total loss. A value above one means profit outweighs losses.
- Total / Profitable / Losing trades
- The total number of trades and the split into profitable and losing ones.
- Auto trading
- The percentage of time auto-copying was active rather than paused.
Capital growth versus Equity
The capital growth chart has two lines: capital growth and equity — the balance including floating P/L on open positions. The gap between them matters more than absolute return: a persistent gap means the strategy is holding large unclosed losses, and the closed part of the result looks better than the real state of affairs.
This is the classic way of masking a drawdown: losing positions are not closed, so the closed-trades curve stays smooth. The gap between the two lines exposes such a situation earlier, before it turns into a realized loss.
Filters and hunting for toxic slices
The filter panel lets you exclude individual instruments, hours of the day, days of the week and trade direction, then recompute the statistics on the remaining slice with the “Show filter results” toggle. The Detailization block shows P/L by day of week, hour and symbol, while AI insights automatically highlight the best day, the optimal hours and the instrument that contributes most to drawdown.
An important caveat: fitting filters to historical data is the same overfitting as tuning strategy parameters to the past. Exclude an instrument or hours when there is a substantive reason to (low liquidity in the Asian session, spread widening on news), not because the curve looks prettier that way.
Frequently asked questions
How does pausing differ from closing a subscription?
Pausing stops new trades from opening and is reversible with the Resume button. Closing a subscription is irreversible — only history remains afterward. When in doubt, choose pause.
When is Resync needed?
If you closed positions manually and want to re-synchronize them with your account so the service keeps tracking them. Resync brings the position’s state back into line with the provider.
What is Minimum lot rounding?
The rule for rounding the minimum lot. If, when copying, the calculated volume comes out below the broker’s minimum allowed lot, the position is opened at the minimum allowed lot (for example, 0.01) rather than being skipped.
Can I export the data for external analysis?
Yes, the portfolio trade history and the history of an individual subscription export to CSV. The trade log has a column useful for auditing — the price difference between your execution and the provider’s — which reveals the real quality of copying.
