Introduction
At Trading Metrics, we believe that every trader deserves a clear, structured path to understanding the markets. That’s why we’ve created this resource - a free, evolving knowledge base focused on the four pillars of trading success:
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader refining your edge, this documentation is your open-access guide to the foundations of trading.
🧠 Trading Metrics
Numbers tell the truth - but only if you know how to read them.
This section covers the quantitative side of trading: how to measure performance, assess setups, and track risk over time.
You’ll learn important metrics like:
- Risk-Reward Ratio
- Volatility
- Win rate, R-Multiple, Maximum Drawdown, and more
Use these tools to evaluate strategies with logic, not emotion.
📊 Trading Indicators
Indicators help you interpret price action and identify momentum, trends, or overbought/oversold conditions.
You’ll explore some of the most widely-used indicators like:
- RSI and StochRSI
- EMA
- Volume indicators, Bollinger Bands, and more
We don’t tell you which one to follow - we show you how they work so you can decide what fits your strategy.
📈 Trading Patterns
Markets move in patterns - and recognizing them is a skill. This section dives into candlestick formations, price structures, and breakout setups that traders have used for decades.
You’ll learn how to identify and trade patterns such as:
- Bullish Engulfing, Morning Star, Mesaured Move Up, and others
- Chart formations like Double Top, Bearish Flag, and Symmetrical Triangle
- Context-based examples with trade setups
Patterns don’t guarantee outcomes - but they give structure to your decision-making.
🛡️ Risk Management
This is where most traders fail - and where great traders survive.
In this section, we break down:
- Position sizing and stop-loss logic
- Risk-per-trade principles and portfolio exposure
You’ll learn how to build a risk-first mindset, giving yourself a better shot at long-term consistency.

This documentation isn’t about rules - it’s about understanding the tools.
What works for one trader might not work for another. Our goal is to give you the knowledge, so you can decide what works for you.
