See how much your rule-breaking is costing your trading account.
Not every loss means your strategy is broken. Use this calculator to separate planned losses from off-plan trades and see whether the real leak is your execution.
Not every losing trade is a bad trade. A planned loss can be part of a working strategy. The real leak often comes from trades taken outside your rules.
How to use this calculator
A quick way to test whether the leak is in your process.
01
Review a sample
Use one week or one month of trades.
02
Split your trades
Separate planned trades from off-plan trades.
03
Read the leak
See whether execution mistakes are damaging the strategy.
Why this matters
P/L alone does not explain whether the strategy failed or you drifted away from it.
Most traders track outcome only. A trading leak calculator is useful because it adds trading discipline context: was the setup valid, did the trade follow the checklist, was the loss part of the plan, did you break rules, and does the trading strategy still have edge when it is actually respected?
Simple example
A trading leak can be bigger than the strategy problem.
Reviewed sample
30 trades
A realistic weekly or monthly trade review sample.
Followed the rules
+3.5R
The 18 trades that stayed inside the plan ended positive.
Off-plan trades
-6.0R
The 12 off-plan trades created the bigger drag.
Imagine you reviewed 30 trades. The 18 trades that followed your rules ended at +3.5R. The 12 off-plan trades ended at -6.0R. Your strategy may not be the main problem. Your execution leak is.
Stop guessing what is broken in your trading.
