Go to Graph:                  
Graph Type: Cumulative Non-Cumulative

The above graphs show statistics on the price points current positions were entered into. Depending on the graph type, the cumulative or non-cumulative distribution of the price points at which the positions were entered into is shown. There are four quadrants:

  1. Top-right quadrant: Long positions that were entered into at a price above the current price
    (These positions have a negative unrealized P/L).
  2. Bottom-right quadrant: Short positions that were entered into at a price above the current price
    (These positions have a positive unrealized P/L).
  3. Bottom-left quadrant: Short positions that were entered into at a price below the current price
    (These positions have a negative unrealized P/L).
  4. Top-left quadrant: Long positions that were entered into at a price below the current price
    (These positions have a positive unrealized P/L).
All trades for a given currency pair add up to 100%

How to read the cumulative graphs: For example, if the height of the top-right quadrant at price X extends to 20%, it means that 20 percent of all open positions for this currency pair are long and entered into at a price point above the current price (shown by the middle orange line) and below X. Similarly, if the height of bottom-left quadrant at price Y extends to 10%, it means 10 percent of all open positions for this currency pair are short and entered into at a price point below the current price and above Y.
