Started swing trading in 2020 with about ₹80k. Since then I’ve kept adding money from my job/freelancing and mostly reinvested profits (~90%).

Now sitting on gains (screenshot above).

But I’m confused about how to actually measure my performance properly. Because I kept adding capital over time and rarely withdraw, things like total profit or CAGR feel kinda misleading.

For someone doing swing trading (holding for days to a couple weeks), what do you guys use to track real performance?

• XIRR?
• Time-weighted returns?
• Or trade metrics like expectancy / profit factor?

Curious what serious traders here rely on..
