I'm using sharkscope. You can probably do it on some type of poker tracking program, but I don't know because I don't use those.
This tip is useful for knowing what field sizes you are best/worst in, which can be useful in knowing what mtts you should (likely) be playing more/least often. For even better results, look your tournaments list and adjust by 'finish position'. This will show what games modes [re-entry, pko, turbo, etc] and their buy-ins for your final table finishes, giving you and even better idea of what games you do well in and should play more often.
I find this especially useful if I'm on a downswing and just haven't made a final table run in a while. I want to be sure I'm playing the games I have the best chance of getting good results with. I did this the other day when I was a pretty bad losing streak. It had been 19 mtts since my last final table run, which isn't a lot of mtts but it also took me 14 days to play those 19 mtts. On top of that, I only cashed in 3/19 games. Low volume on top of a downswing isn't fun, so I filtered by field size and played an mtt that fit my best results and ended up winning the tournament for a small gain. I'm still down overall from the 19 game downswing, but I cut my losses in half.

For fun, here are my results filtered by field size:
Best final table results
Since I put in such little mtt volume and I want to build up my bankroll, I'll be using this to focus my free time on the games I excel at and avoiding the games I don't.
That's it. Of course, make sure you practice good bankroll management as well.
