Performance
The Performance page is where you look back at your results and ask the hard questions: Is my strategy working? Which channels are making me money? Where am I bleeding? The data here helps you make informed decisions about what to keep, what to change, and what to cut.
Equity Curve
The main chart shows your cumulative net P&L over time -- the most important chart in trading.
- X-axis: Time
- Y-axis: Profit in your account currency
- Time windows: Toggle between daily, weekly, and monthly views
A healthy equity curve trends from bottom-left to top-right. It will never be a straight line -- drawdowns are a normal part of trading -- but the overall direction should be upward over a meaningful sample size.
Give It Time
Do not judge your equity curve after a handful of trades. You need at least 50-100 trades before the curve tells a reliable story. Short-term fluctuations are noise; long-term trends are signal.
Win Rate Analysis
Your win rate is the percentage of trades that closed in profit. The performance page shows this at multiple levels:
- Overall win rate -- Across all channels and instruments
- Per-channel win rate -- How each signal channel performs individually
- Trend over time -- Whether your win rate is improving or declining
Win Rate Is Not Everything
A 40% win rate can be highly profitable if your average win is three times your average loss. Conversely, an 80% win rate can lose money if the losses are large. Always look at win rate alongside risk/reward ratio and profit factor.
Drawdown Tracking
Drawdown measures the decline from your equity peak to the current value. The performance page tracks:
- Max drawdown -- The largest peak-to-trough decline in your account history
- Current drawdown -- Where you stand right now relative to your all-time equity high
Drawdown is one of the most important risk metrics. A strategy that produces great returns but with a 60% max drawdown is far riskier than one with modest returns and a 10% max drawdown.
Key Statistics
| Metric | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Profit Factor | Gross profit divided by gross loss. Above 1.0 = profitable. Above 1.5 = excellent. Above 2.0 = elite. |
| Average Win | The average dollar amount you make on winning trades |
| Average Loss | The average dollar amount you lose on losing trades |
| Average R:R | The ratio of average win to average loss. 2:1 means you make twice as much on wins as you lose on losses. |
| Sharpe Ratio | Risk-adjusted return. Higher = better returns relative to volatility. Above 1.0 is good; above 2.0 is excellent. |
| Consecutive Wins | Longest winning streak |
| Consecutive Losses | Longest losing streak |
Per-Channel Breakdown
This section answers the critical question: Which channels are making you money and which are costing you?
For each connected channel, you see:
- Total trades
- Win rate
- Total P&L
- Average P&L per trade
- Profit factor
How to use this data:
- Identify winners -- A channel with a 60% win rate and a 1.8 profit factor is a keeper. Consider increasing its risk allocation.
- Identify losers -- A channel with a 35% win rate and a 0.7 profit factor is costing you money. Either adjust your settings for that channel (e.g., use a config profile with tighter risk), pause it, or unfollow it entirely.
- Compare objectively -- Do not let a single big win bias your perception. Look at the aggregate numbers over at least 30-50 trades per channel before making decisions.
Per-Symbol Breakdown
The same analysis, but organized by instrument instead of channel:
- Total trades per symbol
- Win rate per symbol
- Total P&L per symbol
This reveals instrument-specific patterns. You might discover that you consistently lose on GBPUSD but dominate on XAUUSD. Use this data to configure symbol filters on your channels -- exclude the instruments that historically underperform for you.
Combine Channel and Symbol Analysis
The most powerful insights come from crossing these two dimensions. "Channel X is profitable overall, but loses money specifically on Indices." That is an actionable insight: keep Channel X, but add a symbol filter to exclude index signals.
Using Performance Data to Optimize
The performance page is not just for looking at numbers -- it is a decision-making tool. Here is a practical workflow:
- Review monthly -- At the end of each month, check your overall equity curve and profit factor
- Rank channels -- Sort by P&L and identify the top 3 and bottom 3 performers
- Investigate losers -- For underperforming channels, check the Signal Log and Trade Log to understand why
- Adjust or cut -- Either tweak settings for underperformers (tighter SL, smaller lot size via config profiles) or unfollow them
- Double down on winners -- Consider allocating more risk to consistently profitable channels
