Realised gain
Signed, over the last twelve months — computed by the tax engine, not estimated from prices.
Trader performance · Included
Trade as you like. We keep the score.
VTR keeps an honest running record of what your trading actually did — activity, execution costs, financing drag and realised results — computed from the same reconstructed history the tax engine files from.

Review transfers →02 — The headline strip
Six numbers that describe your account.
Each one is computed from committed evidence. When the evidence is incomplete, the number is withheld and says why — a stat that shows a plausible figure it did not compute is worse than an empty one.
Recorded basis
Your remaining Section 104 pools: what the record says you hold, at acquisition cost.
Traded volume
Lifetime notional in sterling, straight from the reconstructed fill history.
Trading costs
Execution fees and rollover financing, kept separate — different problems, different fixes.
Trading days
Active days, with the up-day and down-day split once your history is fully classified.
Ownership
Sole beneficial owner, or the number of people your allocation rules actually configure.
03 — Risk-adjusted performance
Profitable and good are not the same thing.
A P&L line tells you what happened. It does not tell you whether you have an edge or a lucky quarter, whether the return justified the drawdown, or whether one outsized winner is carrying the whole year. These do.
Trade outcomes by R multiple
Every statistic here is a summary of one shape.
R is the multiple of the risk you actually took on each trade — measured against your real stop, not a notional one. The histogram is the raw distribution; expectancy is its mean, profit factor is the ratio of its two sides, and SQN is its mean divided by its spread.
Reading it matters more than any single number. A tall −1R column with a long right tail is a trend-following shape and it is working. The same chart with two enormous winners and nothing else is a system that has not proved anything yet.

+0.26R
Expectancy
What the average trade returns as a multiple of what it risked — after fees and funding. Gross it was +0.35R; the gap is what your costs took.
1.42
Profit factor
Gross profit divided by gross loss. Above 1.0 you make money; below about 1.2 a normal losing streak will feel like a broken system.
2.1
System quality (SQN)
Expectancy divided by its own standard deviation, scaled by sample size. It asks whether the edge is big relative to how erratic it is.
1.24
Sharpe ratio
Return per unit of total volatility. It penalises upside swings as harshly as downside ones, which is why it is never shown alone here.
1.81
Sortino ratio
Return per unit of downside volatility only. Higher than your Sharpe means your volatility is mostly the kind you want.
−11.2R
Max drawdown
The deepest peak-to-trough run the account actually lived through, in R and in sterling — not a modelled worst case.
4.0
Recovery factor
Net profit divided by that worst drawdown. It answers whether the return justified the hole you had to sit through.
48% · 1.60
Win rate · payoff
How often you win, and how much bigger the average win is than the average loss. Neither means anything without the other.
04 — Activity, honestly coloured
A year of trading in one glance.
A contribution-style heatmap of every trading day — twelve months rolling or any year of your history, scaled to your own 90th-percentile day so one outlier can't flatten the chart.
Best day and worst day sit under the chart, dated and signed. Hover any cell for fills, volume and the realised result.
Blocked beats plausible
While transfers await classification, realised gains and pooled basis are withheld and say so. Activity, volume and fees stay live — they don't depend on the missing facts.
The heatmap tells the truth twice
Until your history is complete, cells show fill activity only. Gain and loss colouring appears when the matcher can actually compute it — the chart never fakes a direction.
No silent market values
Recorded basis is acquisition cost, labelled as such. VTR does not dress a stale price feed up as your net worth.
Ownership-aware
Household allocation shows your share of pooled basis per asset — and refuses to render at all until ownership rules and acquisition history are complete.
05 — Execution costs
What your trading style costs you.
Fees are where an active trader quietly loses an edge. VTR breaks them down the way a desk would, from the same fill history the tax engine reconciles.
Where the money went
Every cost lands in a bucket — maker, taker, unknown, rollover financing — with fill counts and percentage shares, so you see the shape of the spend without doing arithmetic.
Executing vs holding
Execution fees are separated from rollover financing. Paying the spread and paying to hold leverage are different behaviours, and the fix for one does nothing about the other.
Taker share
The percentage of execution fees paid on taker fills — the single number that says whether you are paying the spread or earning it.
Costs in basis points
Total fees as basis points of traded notional — comparable across accounts, periods and account sizes in a way an absolute figure never is.
