Understanding Your Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you a quick overview of your trading performance, risk, consistency, and trading habits. Each widget focuses on a different aspect of your trading data and can help you identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.


Key Performance Metrics

① Total Net P&L

Shows your total realized profit or loss after commissions, fees, and taxes.

This is one of the most important metrics because it reflects your actual trading results.



② Win Rate

Shows the percentage of trades that closed with a profit.

A high win rate does not always mean a profitable strategy. Win rate should be analyzed together with Profit Factor and Expectancy.



③ Profit Factor

Measures how much profit you generate for every dollar lost.

  • Above 1.0 = profitable
  • Above 1.5 = strong
  • Above 2.0 = excellent

Profit Factor helps evaluate the overall efficiency of your trading strategy.



④ Per Trade Expectancy

Shows the average amount you can expect to make or lose per trade.

Positive expectancy means your trading approach has a statistical edge over time.



⑤ Average Holding Time

Shows the average duration of your completed trades.

This metric helps identify whether your trading style is primarily:

  • Scalping
  • Day Trading
  • Swing Trading
  • Position Trading


Performance Overview

⑥ Top 10 Symbols

Shows your best-performing symbols based on profit and return.

⑦ Daily Performance

Displays profit and loss results for each trading day.

This helps identify:

  • Consistent trading days

  • Losing streaks


⑧ Equity Curve

Shows the growth of your trading results over time.

A smooth upward curve generally indicates consistent performance.

Large swings may indicate elevated risk or inconsistent execution.



⑨ Performance vs Equity

Combines daily performance and cumulative results into a single view.

This chart helps you understand how individual trading days contribute to overall account growth.



⑩ Drawdown Curve

Shows the decline from previous equity highs.

Drawdown is one of the most important risk measurements because it reflects how much your account has fallen before recovering.

Smaller drawdowns generally indicate more stable performance.

Many traders discover that they perform significantly better during specific market sessions.
