Most people who look at a trading statement never really look. They are only interested in the equity curve. That's the blue line on the image that is rising from left to right. But there's so much more information you should be looking at.

1. Can you see the red #1 on the top of the image? Those numbers are kind of like an overview of the performance. You can see that the account started with $10,000 and in under 30 days had made $20,434.99. That's a profit of $10,434.99 (104.34%). This is a real system by the way, that even new traders can use.
