Performance Health
This section contains the core metrics professional traders use to grade the absolute robustness of their systems. Tracking these vital signs and comparing your All-Time data against a Selected Period highlights whether your trading edge is sharpening or degrading over time.
Core Health Metrics
These are the overarching vitals of your strategy, distilling your complete performance into universally recognized statistical grades.
This panel serves as the master mathematical grading system for your strategy. It distills your performance into undeniable structural metrics by measuring your Profit Factor, Plan Execution Ratio, and maximum account Drawdown.
A healthy system maintains a Profit Factor well above 1.0, high positive Plan Execution adherence, and a tight, controlled Max Drawdown. A toxic reading shows a Profit Factor below 1.0, negative execution discipline, or a deep Max Drawdown, proving that your strategy is structurally leaking capital.
It eliminates emotional second-guessing during market drawdowns. Instead of wondering if your strategy stopped working, you can look at raw execution data to instantly confirm if your baseline mathematical edge remains perfectly intact.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Profit Factor | Your gross profit divided by gross loss. A ratio above 1.0 indicates a profitable system, while anything below 1.0 means you are bleeding capital. |
Plan Execution Ratio | Realized profit expressed as a percentage of the profit your plan targeted: actual P&L divided by planned target profit, times 100. 100% means you closed exactly at target; above 100% means you let the winner run past it; a negative value means the trade lost. |
Max Drawdown | The largest peak-to-trough drop in your account balance, representing the maximum equity friction your portfolio has endured. |
Performance Health Summary | Smart status callout evaluating current period efficiency against historical baselines to flag execution drift. |
How Plan Execution Ratio is calculated. For each closed trade the app compares what you actually made against what your plan aimed for:
Plan Execution Ratio = actual profit or loss ÷ planned target profit × 100
Only trades that defined both a stop loss and a target are included — a trade with no target is skipped entirely rather than counted as zero. The figure shown is the average across all qualifying closed trades. Unlike a win rate it is not capped at 100% and can be negative.
This is a different question from Compliance Rate, which measures whether you ticked your plan’s Important checks. See Trading Plans.
The Trading Edge: Treat these metrics as your strategy’s medical chart. If your Profit Factor begins dipping toward 1.0 or your Plan Execution Ratio decays, do not wait for a major Max Drawdown to take action. Use this panel to audit whether poor performance stems from a shifting market regime or sloppy personal execution, allowing you to fix leaks before they impact your capital.
Win vs Loss
A visual distribution panel that strips away monetary value and strictly evaluates your execution accuracy and win rate.
This panel strips away all monetary values to strictly evaluate your execution win rate. It provides a clean visual breakdown comparing your raw volume of winning trades directly against your losing trades across all-time and filtered timeframes.
A good reading shows a strong win rate supported by disciplined execution. A bad reading shows an excessively low win rate or a sudden drop in win percentage, forcing you to rely entirely on outlier gains to stay afloat.
It helps you calibrate your psychological expectations. By seeing your exact baseline accuracy, you can accept normal losses as a regular cost of doing business rather than viewing every losing trade as an execution failure.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
All-Time Win vs Loss | Lifetime graphical breakdown comparing total winning trades against losing trades to establish your baseline win rate. |
Period Win vs Loss | Filtered graphical breakdown comparing winning vs. losing trades within your selected date range. |
Win vs Loss Summary | Smart status callout evaluating current win rate consistency and profit factor synergy against historical baselines. |
The Trading Edge: Do not confuse a high win rate with profitability. While tracking your Win vs Loss distribution provides vital baseline feedback on your execution accuracy, always evaluate it alongside your Profit Factor and average winner size. A 55% win rate backed by strong risk-to-reward parameters will far outperform an 80% win rate where single losses wipe out weeks of hard-earned gains.
Holding Duration
Time in the market directly correlates to risk exposure. This panel measures your patience and reveals critical psychological leaks in your trade management.
Time spent active in the market directly translates to risk exposure. This panel measures your patience and trade management habits by tracking your average time spent inside winning setups versus losing setups across all-time and filtered periods.
A professional profile shows an average win duration that is longer than your average loss duration. A dangerous profile reveals an average loss duration that is significantly longer, proving that you cut winners early out of fear while stubbornly holding onto losers out of hope.
It diagnoses invisible psychological leaks in your trade management. By forcing you to see if you are babysitting losing trades while panic selling winners, it helps you adjust your discipline to let your edge play out fully.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Avg Win Duration | The average amount of time you stay in trades that ultimately close for a profit. |
Avg Loss Duration | The average amount of time you hold onto trades that ultimately close for a loss. |
Duration Balance Bar | Visual distribution bar illustrating the proportional time balance between winning and losing setups. |
Holding Duration Summary | Smart status callout flagging time-holding biases and checking current trade duration habits against historical averages. |
The Trading Edge: Pay close attention to your Avg Loss Duration relative to your Avg Win Duration. If your losing setups stay open significantly longer than your winning setups, you are suffering from disposition bias holding onto bad trades hoping for a breakeven exit while cutting profitable trades too early. Streamlining your exit rules ensures you cut losses decisively and let your winners achieve full potential.
Losing Streaks
Drawdowns are inevitable. Knowing your historical extremes prepares you mathematically and psychologically for future cold streaks.
Cold streaks are inevitable in any market environment. This panel logs your historical statistical extremes by tracking the highest number of consecutive losing trades taken back-to-back, total capital lost, and detailed timing metrics across all-time and filtered periods.
A healthy matrix features a streak monetary loss that represents a small, controlled percentage of your total capital. A dangerous matrix reveals rapid consecutive losses with steep cash drawdowns, proving that revenge trading or oversized positions are accelerating equity erosion.
It prepares you psychologically and mathematically for worst-case scenarios. Knowing your historical loss clusters prevents panic trading when a drawdown arrives, helping you keep your position sizing strictly within safe parameters.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Max Losing Streak | The highest number of consecutive unprofitable trades taken back-to-back. |
Streak Loss Amount | The total monetary drawdown incurred during that specific sequence of consecutive losses. |
Worst Streak Details | Granular breakdown of the drawdown event including date window, total duration, loss count for the streak, and average time between entries. |
Losing Streaks Summary | Smart status callout evaluating whether current drawdown variance fits expected probability parameters or flags excess risk. |
The Trading Edge: A streak of 4 or 5 consecutive losses is a completely standard probability outcome even for strategies with a 60%+ win rate. Use your Worst Streak Details to audit your trading behavior during drawdowns. If the time between trades shrinks rapidly during a losing streak, you are likely revenge trading. Maintaining strict risk limits during cold streaks guarantees you survive to extract your system’s long-term statistical edge.
