Performance Metrics

Key Statistics

New: Enhanced analytics now include Sharpe Ratio and detailed risk metrics accessible via the Analytics API.

Understanding Metrics

Win Rate

Win Rate = Winning Trades / Total Trades × 100

Example: 60 wins / 100 trades = 60% win rate

Interpretation:

• Above 60%: Excellent
• 50-60%: Good
• 40-50%: Acceptable with good R:R
• Below 40%: Review strategy

Profit Factor

Profit Factor = Gross Profit / Gross Loss

Example: $5,000 profit / $2,500 loss = 2.0 profit factor

Interpretation:

• Above 2.0: Excellent
• 1.5-2.0: Good
• 1.0-1.5: Marginal
• Below 1.0: Losing money

Maximum Drawdown

Max Drawdown = (Peak - Trough) / Peak × 100

Example: ($10,000 - $8,000) / $10,000 = 20% drawdown

Interpretation:

• Below 10%: Conservative
• 10-20%: Moderate
• 20-30%: Aggressive
• Above 30%: High risk
