As you can see in the picture, the green triangle is smaller than the red one, but it has a larger P/L number. I'm wondering if there's a way to make the size of the P/L triangle directly proportional to the P/L number. If we can do that, it would help us analyze our strategy more accurately.

Size indicates (absolute) trade size. P/L is already indicated by the vertical offset, as the axis says.

I see, I understood, thanks!
