Judge any track record worst drop first. Yours too.

Getting the file from Bybit

1. On the Bybit website, open Orders.
2. Futures and perpetuals: choose Derivatives, then Closed P&L (or Trade History) and press Export. Spot: choose Spot, then Trade History and Export.
3. Pick the dates. Exports cover a limited range at a time (often a few months), so you may need more than one file.
4. Drop the downloaded file above. CSV and .xlsx both work; an old .xls needs saving as CSV first.

Bybit changes its menus and columns from time to time. If we can't tell which column is which, you'll be asked to point them out. Files from other exchanges work too, as long as they have a date, a coin and either a P&L column or the side, price and quantity.

What the habit checks look for

• Revenge trading ?: back in a trade within 35 minutes of a loss, and whether those trades did worse. Also: making the next trade much bigger to win it back.
• Overtrading ?: days with far more trades than usual, and whether they cost you.
• Creep: trades or leverage getting bigger over time, and any very high leverage.
• Concentration ?: one coin making up most of your trading, or most of your losses.
• Fees and the big loss: fees eating a large part of the profits, and one loss wiping out many wins.

Habit checks need at least 12 closed trades; a pattern needs at least 6 cases before it's called a habit. Your results by coin and your biggest losses are shown either way.

For information only, not financial advice. It describes your own past trades; it doesn't say what to trade. Spot results are worked out from your buys and sells at their average cost; anything bought before the file's dates is left out. Nothing is stored: close the page and it's gone.

How the grade works

• Can't judge if the worst drop isn't shown, or the record is under a month. Missing risk is the biggest red flag of all.
• Weak if any serious flag is raised: a worst drop past Bybit Pro's 20% limit, leverage above 10×, or a worst drop deeper than a year's return (for records under 3 months: deeper than the return so far).
• Strong only with a worst drop within 20%, at least 2 units of yearly return per unit of worst drop, at least 6 months of history and no warnings.
• Fair for everything in between.

Return per unit of worst drop is the yearly return divided by the worst drop. A trader making 30% a year with a 10% worst drop (3 : 1) is a better bet than one making 60% with a 40% drop (1.5 : 1), even though the second one tops the leaderboard. Records under 3 months aren't turned into a yearly rate (a short lucky run would look enormous), so for them the checker compares the return so far with the worst drop.

What the grade can't see

• Open trades. Many profiles count only closed trades. Losing positions held open don't show up in the win rate or the drawdown until they're closed.
• The traders who blew up. Leaderboards show the survivors. The traders who took the same risks and lost aren't on the list any more.
• Your own entry. If you start copying after a big run, your first months can look very different from theirs.

Before you press follow, read how copy trading works, and see why we judge every trader by the worst month first. The drawdown recovery calculator shows what any drop costs to win back.

For information only, not financial advice. The grade uses only the figures you enter; it can't verify them. Past results never promise future ones.
