Reading Your Analytics

Intermediate

How to interpret your trading statistics and improve performance.

The Analytics page provides deep insights into your trading behavior. Understanding these metrics is key to improving your performance.

Key Metrics Explained

  • Win Rate — Percentage of trades closed in profit. Above 50% is generally good.
  • Profit Factor — Gross profit divided by gross loss. Above 1.5 is excellent.
  • Average RRR — Average Risk-to-Reward Ratio. Above 1:1.5 is recommended.
  • Max Drawdown — Largest peak-to-trough decline during the evaluation.
  • Sharpe Ratio — Risk-adjusted return metric. Above 1.0 indicates good risk management.

Trading Calendar

The calendar view shows your daily P&L as a heatmap. Green days indicate profit, red days indicate loss. Use this to identify patterns in your trading performance — are certain days of the week consistently better or worse?

Improvement Tip

Focus on consistency over big wins. A steady equity curve with controlled drawdowns is more impressive to evaluators than sporadic large gains followed by large losses.
