Realized Returns Breakdown
This section digs into the mechanical execution of your strategy. By comparing your All-Time metrics directly against your Selected Period, you can immediately determine if your per-trade expectancy and directional edge are improving or degrading over time.
This panel strips away your cumulative total and isolates the mathematical reality of your average execution. It reveals the true risk to reward profile of your actual trading behavior by tracking your average net profit, average winner, and average loser per trade.
A healthy profile shows an average winner that is significantly larger than your average loser, giving you a positive expectancy even with a low win rate. A toxic profile shows an average loser that dwarfs your average winner, meaning you need an unsustainably high win rate just to break even.
It exposes your actual realized risk to reward ratio. By knowing the exact mathematical expectancy of every setup you take, you can objectively determine if your strategy is viable long term or if one bad trade will wipe out ten good ones.
Per-Trade Performance
This panel strips away your cumulative total and isolates the mathematical reality of your average execution, revealing the true risk-to-reward profile of your actual trading behavior.
This panel strips away overall portfolio equity growth to isolate the raw mathematical reality of your average execution and directional performance. It breaks down your average winning trade, average losing trade, and exact directional efficiency across long versus short setups.
A high-performing profile features an Average Winner significantly larger than the Average Loser (a strong payoff ratio) coupled with a balanced directional win rate. A toxic profile shows asymmetric downside where average losses wipe out multiple winning trades, or a heavy directional reliance that leaves you vulnerable to market regime shifts.
It exposes whether your profitability comes from high win-rate scalping or asymmetric risk-to-reward ratios, while revealing subtle directional blind spots. This gives you exact mathematical feedback to refine stop-loss/take-profit parameters and balance long/short exposure.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Winner / Loser Donut | Visual comparison of the size of your average winner against your average loser. For how often you win, see the Win vs Loss card under Performance Health. |
Avg Net P&L / Trade | The baseline mathematical expectancy of every setup you take, after fees are deducted. |
Avg Winner | The average monetary gain realized across all your profitable setups. |
Avg Loser | The average monetary loss realized across all your failed setups. |
Payoff Ratio Summary | Smart status callout evaluating your average winner relative to your average loser across all-time vs. selected period. |
The Trading Edge: True profitability lies in mathematical expectancy, not emotional intuition. Pay close attention to your Avg Winner vs. Avg Loser ratio and your overall Win/Loss Ratio. If your average loss rivals or exceeds your average win, you must rely on an unrealistically high win rate just to stay afloat. Use these metrics to enforce strict risk-to-reward parameters and verify that your system maintains a positive net edge over time.
Direction Returns
Many traders possess an unconscious bias toward either bull or bear markets. This panel provides a statistical breakdown and visual representation of your success rate based strictly on market direction.
Many traders possess an unconscious bias toward either bull or bear markets. This panel provides a statistical breakdown and visual representation of your success rate based strictly on market direction, tracking your cumulative profitability when buying versus short selling.
A balanced trader shows solid profitability in both directions. A dangerous profile shows massive profits going Long but consistent capital bleed going Short, indicating you are forcing counter trend trades against your natural edge.
It stops you from fighting the trend and your own psychology. If the data explicitly shows you lose money shorting the market, you can immediately boost your overall profitability simply by refusing to take short setups and sticking to what actually works.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Directional Distribution Chart | Graphical donut breakdown illustrating the percentage of gross P&L generated by long vs. short trades. |
Long Returns | Your cumulative profitability, total trade count, and win percentage when buying the market. |
Short Returns | Your cumulative profitability, total trade count, and win percentage when short-selling the market. |
Directional Bias Summary | Smart status callout evaluating profit concentration across directions and highlighting potential exposure imbalances. |
The Trading Edge: Pay close attention to your Direction Returns. If you are highly profitable going Long but consistently bleed capital going Short (or vice-versa), the data is explicitly telling you to stop forcing counter-trend trades. Aligning your execution strictly with your proven directional edge immediately protects your bottom line and eliminates psychological friction.
