Crypto Trade Journal with MFE & MAE
Most journals store trades. A good journal diagnoses trades. MFE and MAE tell you whether your exits were early, late, or random — which is what actually determines long-term expectancy.
What MFE and MAE mean
MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion) is the best unrealized gain a trade reached. MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion) is the worst drawdown it touched before closing. Comparing them to your exit tells you where you are leaving money.
- Exits consistently far below MFE — you are cutting winners early
- Exits far beyond MAE expected — your stops are loose
- Stable ratio of target to MFE — disciplined execution
