Which Crypto Loses Me the Most Money?
See your results coin by coin and find the one that costs you the most.
Find My Costliest CoinMost traders spread their attention across several coins, and most have one that behaves worse for them than the others. Maybe it is a volatile altcoin that moves faster than you can react. Maybe it is a coin you follow closely and overtrade because you feel you understand it. Either way, the cost is rarely obvious from the total.
A single bad instrument can dominate a loss. If one coin accounts for a third of your trades but half of your losses, it is not just unlucky: it is a place where your method does not fit the market. Removing or reducing it could change the whole account, but only if you know it is there.
It is equally useful to find the opposite. The coin or coins where you do well are where your approach fits, and knowing that lets you put your attention there on purpose.
Your trade history lists the symbol on every trade, so the split costs nothing to do. The analyzer groups your trades by instrument and compares each one's share of your losses with its share of your trades, and reports the coin that stands out.

How the coins are compared
Share of trades against share of losses
A coin is flagged when it accounts for a clearly larger share of your total losses than of your trades.
A minimum
The coin needs at least 5 trades and a negative net result, and at least two instruments must be in the file.
The ones that work
The full report lists all your instruments by net result, so you can see where you do well as well as where you do not.
Beyond one coin
If a few trades, not a coin, drive your losses, see why a few trades can cause most of the damage.
Frequently asked questions
Does a losing coin mean I should stop trading it?
Not automatically. The result might reflect a bad period for that coin, a small number of trades, or a rule you did not follow there. It is a prompt to look closer, such as checking what the losing trades have in common.
Why does the analyzer need more than one instrument?
To say that one coin costs you disproportionately, there must be others to compare it with. With a single instrument there is nothing to compare, and the check is skipped.
How are different quote currencies handled?
Results are read from your file as they are, and instruments are grouped by their symbol text. If your file mixes pairs quoted in different currencies, the totals are in the units your exchange reported, so check that they are comparable.
Which file should I upload?
A CSV where each row is one finished trade with its result: your exchange's closed positions or profit-and-loss history. It needs a close time and a result, or entry price, exit price, quantity and side. A list of individual order fills is not enough, because fills cannot be paired into trades without guessing.
Is my trade history stored?
The file is read in memory and is not saved. Only the result of the analysis is kept: for 7 days if you do not sign in, or until you delete it if you save it to your account. The analyzer never asks for exchange passwords or API keys.
