Update history
  1. TradersPost now shows open P&L as a percentage and dollar amount for brokers that supply it, so the article now reflects current availability instead of presenting the feature as upcoming.

A recent feature request suggested displaying percentage returns alongside live balances on TradersPost’s graphs. Alongside the account balance, traders can see open profit and loss as a percentage and dollar amount on their dashboard when their broker provides open P&L data1.

This feature is now available for brokers that provide open P&L data, while broader analytics improvements remain in development1. The dashboard now shows open P&L as a percentage and dollar amount for brokers that provide open P&L data, with further analytics improvements planned1.

Why This Feature Matters

• Clearer Performance Tracking – Percentage returns provide a more meaningful measure of growth than raw balance numbers.

• Improved Decision-Making – Traders can quickly assess performance trends without needing to calculate percentage changes manually.

• Enhanced Analytics Experience – The new dashboard is part of a broader analytics update aimed at delivering better insights.

When Will This Be Available?

The percentage return display is available for brokers that provide open P&L data, while broader analytics improvements remain planned1. TradersPost will likely seek user feedback as the new analytics features roll out.

Conclusion

The availability of open P&L percentages on the dashboard provides a clearer view of account performance when the broker provides open P&L data1. As part of TradersPost’s ongoing analytics enhancements, this feature is expected to help traders make better-informed decisions.
