With Percentage View, TradeZella shows your P&L as a percentage of your starting balance instead of raw dollar amounts. This makes it easier to compare performance across days, weeks, and months, regardless of account size.
How Percentage Is Calculated
Daily P&L %: Based on the starting balance of that specific day.
(P&L for the Day) ÷ Starting Balance of the Day × 100
Weekly P&L %: Based on the starting balance of the first day of the week.
(P&L for the Week) ÷ Balance on First Day × 100
Monthly P&L %: Based on the starting balance of the first trading day of the month.
(P&L for the Month) ÷ Balance on First Day × 100
Example:
Starting balance on March 1: $6,000 → Ending balance: $6,600 → +10%
Starting balance on Monday: $6,500 → Ending balance Friday: $7,150 → +10%
Starting balance on March 1: $7,000 → Ending balance March 31: $8,400 → +20%
How to Switch to Percentage View
Go to your Dashboard
Look for the View Toggle option at the top bar.
Switch from Dollar View ($) to Percentage View (%).
Once enabled, your P&L in the dashboard will automatically reflect percentages instead of dollar values.
