Portfolio Metrics Lab

Institutional-grade analytics for quantitative portfolios

The full Portfolio Metrics v191 dashboard — combine strategies, filter trades, inspect equity and drawdown, run the optimizer, and export PDF reports. Everything below mirrors the live in-browser app.

  • Four master tabs: Performance Metrics, Portfolio Calculator, Portfolio Optimizer, Optimizer Results.
  • Six Performance sections via sidebar dropdown — equity, periodical returns, trade list, trade graphs, correlation, allocation.
  • Settings accordion — date range, CVIX / ZigZag filters, holidays, portfolio multiplier, slippage & commission.

Results are hypothetical and have limitations. Use the metrics as a decision tool, not a guarantee.

Who uses Portfolio Metrics

Active futures traders

Decide which portfolio to trade this quarter using combined equity, drawdown, and correlation — not one or two recent trades.

Prop & evaluation traders

Find strategy mixes that respect drawdown rules while still scaling — optimizer targets max DD and Sharpe constraints.

Professional & institutional

Transparent metrics, PDF exports, and diversification scores before committing capital to multi-system allocations.

Recommended workflow

  1. Load strategies or a saved portfolio from the Strategies tab.
  2. Scan Performance Metrics — equity wiggle, cyclical drawdown, summary table.
  3. Check Daily PnL correlation and Allocation pies for diversification.
  4. Tune contracts in Portfolio Calculator or run the Optimizer.
  5. Export PDF or subscribe to the portfolio that fits your objectives.
