Risk / Reward Analysis
This is arguably the most powerful section of the platform. It strips away dollar amounts and percentages to measure exactly how well you execute your strategies, evaluating the crucial gap between your planned intentions and your actual market reality.
R-Multiples
This panel visualizes your execution discipline by comparing the theoretical potential of your setups against what you actually brought home.
This panel visualizes your execution discipline by comparing the theoretical potential of your setups against what you actually brought home. It tracks your planned R, realized R, and overall capture rate across all-time and filtered timeframes.
A healthy capture rate shows your realized R tightly matching your planned R, proving high execution discipline. A toxic profile shows a massive gap where your realized R is tiny compared to your planned R, revealing that you panic sell early and butcher your mathematical edge.
It holds you brutally accountable to your original plan. By exposing whether you actually let your trades reach their intended targets, it stops you from micromanaging positions based on short-term market noise.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Capture Rate | The percentage of your planned reward that you actually secured (Realized R divided by Planned R). |
Planned vs. Realized R | Direct comparison between your initial projected risk-to-reward ratio and the actual risk-reward multiple achieved upon closing. |
Execution Quality Summary | Automated status callouts highlighting whether you are efficiently capturing setup targets or prematurely cutting profits. |
The Trading Edge: Pay close attention to your Capture Rate. If you are consistently capturing significantly less than your planned R, you are prematurely exiting trades and leaving massive return potential on the table. Trusting your original plan and eliminating mid-trade micromanagement ensures you capture the full mathematical expectancy of your strategy.
Excursion Analysis
A highly advanced diagnostic tool that evaluates the efficiency of your entries and exits by tracking the absolute extremes of price movement during your trades.
A highly advanced diagnostic tool that evaluates the efficiency of your entries and exits by tracking the absolute extremes of price movement during your trades. It plots your Maximum Adverse Excursion (MAE) against planned stops and Maximum Favorable Excursion (MFE) against planned targets across all-time and filtered periods.
Safe optimization shows your position drawing down only a fraction of your stop room before hitting target. A broken reading reveals your trades constantly flirting with liquidation or flying past your targets without you capturing the move, proving your system invalidation and target parameters are completely miscalibrated.
This mathematically optimizes your structural setups. It shows you exactly whether your stops are unnecessarily wide or too tight, and whether you are severely underestimating your profit potential, allowing you to fine-tune your order placement for maximum returns.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Adverse Excursion & Stops (MAE) | Measures the average maximum price movement against your position while open, compared directly to your planned stop distance. |
Stop Placement | Calibration score evaluating whether your stop loss parameters are well-sized or excessively wide relative to actual drawdown. |
Favorable Excursion & Targets (MFE) | Measures the average maximum favorable price movement in your direction, compared directly against your planned profit targets. |
Target Placement | Calibration score evaluating how effectively your planned targets capture available market run-ups. |
Excursion Diagnostic Insights | Automated callouts highlighting execution strengths and alerting you when stops or targets require structural recalibration. |
The Trading Edge: Use Excursion Analysis to calibrate your order parameters with mathematical precision. If your Stop Placement flags your stops as Too Wide relative to your actual adverse movement, tightening your stop loss will instantly increase your position sizing efficiency without adding true risk. This simple adjustment systematically elevates your realized R-multiple return on every future setup.
Trade Scenarios
This panel categorizes the exact technical resolution of your trades, giving you a statistical breakdown of how your setups typically conclude by comparing all-time performance against your selected period.
How your winning and losing trades exited vs the planned targets and stops - all-time vs selected period
This panel categorizes the exact technical resolution of your trades, giving you a statistical breakdown of how your setups typically conclude. It tracks whether exits were automated at target/stop levels or taken prematurely (Early Take Profit / Stop Breached) across both all-time and custom date ranges.
A dominant Target Hit rate proves high discipline and precise strategy alignment. A high ratio of Early Take Profit exits or manual stop overrides reveals emotional intervention cut-off points that ruin your mathematical edge.
It separates psychological failure from system failure. Through automated execution insights and Target Hit Rate metrics, you can instantly determine whether poor returns stem from flawed strategy parameters or your own manual over-trading.
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
Stop-Loss Scenarios | Evaluates how losing trades exited versus the planned stop loss (comparing exact stop hits against breached stop levels across all-time and selected periods). |
Stop Breached Rate | The percentage of losing trades where execution slipped or breached the intended stop loss level before closing. |
Target Scenarios | Evaluates how winning trades exited versus the planned target, classifying exits as Target Hit vs. Early Take Profit over all-time and selected periods. |
Target Hit Rate | The percentage of winning trades that successfully hit their planned limit target before any manual exit occurred. |
Execution Diagnostic Insights | Automated feedback pinpointing execution successes, highlighting the exact percentage of targeted wins closed right at the planned target. |
The Trading Edge: Audit your Target Hit Rate against your Early Take Profit frequency. If a large portion of your winning trades fall under early profit-taking, emotional management is eroding your system’s theoretical edge. Letting winning trades run to their predetermined limit targets ensures you maintain consistent R-multiple expansion over time.
