The Importance of HFM Trading History
The importance of trading history in HFM (formerly HotForex) goes beyond simple records. It’s crucial for the following reasons: Because the platform supports open positions, leverage, orders, and changes, detailed information is provided. It can be viewed from the Home tab. It’s recommended because it provides information on losses and gains for CFDs and other instruments.
① Essential for Analyzing and Improving Trading Performance
Trading history records:
Entry/Closing Prices
Trading Time
Lot Size
Profit/Loss
Spread/Swap
All of these are recorded.
By reviewing this history, you can objectively analyze:
Winning Currency Pairs
Losing Times
Wrong Entry Habits
Appropriate Stop-Loss and Take-Profits
This allows you to objectively analyze your trading strategies, helping you build a repeatable trading strategy.
② Reviewing Capital and Risk Management
Since HFM offers high leverage, capital management is especially important.
By checking your trading history, you can understand your maximum single loss, the number of consecutive losses, and your drawdown (maximum rate of capital loss). This allows you to calmly determine whether your lot size is too large or whether you’re taking on too much risk.
③ Checking Bonus and Promotion Conditions
HFM offers deposit bonuses and loyalty programs that are conditional on trading volume.
Your trading history is essential for confirming your bonus lot size and meeting the conditions, and it also serves as evidence to prevent bonus confiscation or misunderstandings.
④ Tax Filing and Record-Keeping Perspective
If you reside in Japan, you may be required to file your tax return for FX profits as miscellaneous income.
Your trading history is important for calculating your annual profit and loss, and is required as documentation for submission to your tax accountant and accounting professional. Failure to keep your trading history will prevent accurate reporting.
⑤ Evidence in the Event of a Problem
Your trading history can serve as conclusive evidence in the following cases:
Check for rejected orders and slippage
Unnatural stop-losses
Investigate server delays and price discrepancies
When contacting HFM support, you will almost always be required to submit your trading history.
⑥ Verifying EA (Automated Trading) and Copy Trading
If you’re using EAs or copy trading,
it’s essential to verify whether they’re performing as expected.
Differences from manual trading
Performance in different market conditions
Trading history is also essential for verifying these.

Trading History Analysis and Its Importance
Trading history analysis is a core task for consistently winning in FX.
Especially with a broker with a high degree of flexibility (high leverage, multiple products) like HFM,
improvements based on historical data, rather than “intuition,” have a major impact on results.
Below, we organize the analysis in order of importance → analysis points → practical steps.
① The Importance of Trading History Analysis
- Objectify the Causes of Wins and Losses
People tend to unconsciously justify winning trades and blame losing trades on market conditions or luck.
Trading history analysis numerically visualizes the reasons for wins and losses, clarifying repeatable winning patterns and losing patterns that should be eliminated.
- Prevent Money Management Breakdowns
History analysis reveals maximum drawdowns, loss amounts during losing streaks, and excessive lot sizes.
👉 “Losses despite a decent win rate” are often due to poor lot management, which can be difficult to detect without historical analysis.
- Detect Emotional Trading
The following types of trading are readily apparent when you look at your trading history:
A sudden increase in lot size after a losing streak
Extremely poor performance late at night or when fatigued
Late stop losses lead to larger losses
👉 Another great value of historical analysis is its ability to visualize mental weaknesses.
② Essential Analysis Items to Look at in Your Trading History
① Win Rate
Too High (Over 70%)
→ Possible premature profit taking
Too Low (Below 40%)
→ Possible entry accuracy issues
*The important thing is not the win rate alone, but its combination with the next factor.
② Risk-Reward Ratio (Profit/Loss Ratio)
Average Profit ÷ Average Loss
Ideal: 1.5-2.0 or higher
Even with a 40% win rate
→ If the risk-reward ratio is good, you can turn a profit.
③ Maximum Drawdown
Temporary capital loss
Lifestyle and mental well-being
👉 Beyond this point, even a theoretically winning strategy will fail.
④ Performance by Currency Pair/Product
Strong Currency
Incompatible Products
👉 Important for “Reducing the Number of Trades and Increasing Profits.”
⑤ Performance by Time of Day/Day of Week
Winning only during London time
Losing only on Mondays and Fridays
👉 Only trade during profitable times.
