  5. On any card, open ⋮ and click Explain metric to see what it means.

Switch between $ and R

  1. Find the $ / R switch at the top.
  2. Click R to see results as multiples of your risk. Click $ to see money.
  3. Your choice stays the next time you open Strategies.

R is the result divided by the risk you planned with your stop. A trade without a stop has no R. The page then says how many trades were left out, for example "R calculated on 40 of 45 trades".
