How to add it to your site
- Copy the code Use the copy button in the Embed code box so nothing is lost to line wrapping. It is a single iframe tag and it does not need anything else.
- Open the page you want it on In WordPress add a Custom HTML block, in Wix use the Embed HTML element, in Squarespace use a Code block, and on a hand-built site paste it straight into your HTML.
- Paste and publish The widget appears immediately. If you see an empty space instead, your editor has stripped the iframe tag, which the HTML embed guide explains how to work around.
- Adjust the look if you want to Add the parameters in the table below to the iframe URL to change the theme, the accent colour or the height. Nothing needs to be configured on our side.
Customisation options
| Parameter | Values | What it does |
|---|---|---|
theme | auto, light, dark | Default follows the reader's own system setting, so the widget looks right on a dark site and a light one without you choosing. |
accent | Six hex digits, e.g. accent=1A56DB | Recolours the header bar and the primary button to match your brand. |
header | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the title bar when your page already has a heading above the widget. |
breakdown | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 to hide the calculation breakdown for a more compact block. |
corners | 1 or 0 | Set to 0 for square corners if your design has no rounding anywhere else. |
width | full | Removes the 520px maximum so the widget stretches to its container. |
Parameters are added to the iframe URL as a normal query string, for example
/embed/trading-journal-statistics-calculator.html?theme=dark&accent=1A56DB&header=0. The
widget builder lets you set all of them visually and hands you the finished code.
Why embed the Trading Journal Statistics Calculator
A trade log is only useful once it becomes statistics, and the widget does that in one step. The reader enters the summary of their trades and gets win rate, profit factor, expectancy, average R and the largest drawdown. Journaling guides and coaching pages can give readers the metrics without a spreadsheet template.
What the widget calculates
A trading journal statistics calculator turns a plain list of your logged trade results into the core numbers professional traders actually track: win rate, profit factor, expectancy, maximum drawdown, and longest winning and losing streaks. Rather than calculating each of these separately, this tool computes all of them at once from a single list of trade outcomes.
Paste in your trade results, in Rand, in the order they occurred, and the calculator handles the rest, including the sequence-dependent statistics like drawdown and streaks that a simple average can't capture.
The embedded version keeps the inputs and the result. The full Trading Journal Statistics Calculator on TradeAnswers adds worked examples, the method behind the numbers and a long FAQ.
