Core Performance Metrics
Win Rate Statistics
From theTradePerformanceCard component (dashboard/components/statistics/trade-performance-card.tsx:21-27):
65% / 10% / 25% (Win / Break-even / Loss)
- Win Rate - Percentage of profitable trades (green indicator)
- Break-Even Rate - Percentage of trades with zero P&L (yellow indicator)
- Loss Rate - Percentage of losing trades (red indicator)
Profit & Loss Metrics
Cumulative P&L - Total profit/loss across all filtered trades- Respects account selection and date filters
- Updates in real-time as you edit trades
- Color-coded: green for profit, red for loss
- Calculated as total P&L divided by trade count
- Helps identify if winners outweigh losers
- Essential for comparing trades with different contract counts
- Identifies which instruments are most profitable per unit
Risk/Reward Analysis
Profit Factor (from widget-registry.tsx:492-500)- Ratio of gross profit to gross loss
- Formula:
Sum(winning trades) / Sum(losing trades) - Values > 1.5 indicate strong profitability
- Values < 1.0 indicate net losses
- Average winner size compared to average loser size
- Formula:
Avg(winning trades) / Avg(losing trades) - 2:1 or higher is considered good risk management
- Mean duration of all trades
- Helps categorize your trading style (scalper, day trader, swing trader)
- Compare against your strategy expectations
Streak Analysis
Winning Streak (from widget-registry.tsx:483-491)- Current consecutive winning trades
- Longest winning streak in history
- Helps identify hot/cold periods
- Current consecutive losing trades
- Longest losing streak in history
- Important for understanding drawdown psychology
Pattern Recognition
Time-Based Patterns
Weekday Performance
The Weekday P&L Chart (widget-registry.tsx:348-356) analyzes:- Total P&L by day of week (Monday - Sunday)
- Win rate per weekday
- Average trade size per day
- Trade frequency patterns
- Many traders perform worse on Mondays (weekend bias)
- Friday afternoon may show reduced performance (early exit)
- Wednesday often shows peak performance (mid-week focus)
Hourly Performance
The Time of Day Chart (widget-registry.tsx:366-374) reveals:- P&L by hour of trading day
- Best/worst trading hours
- Volume patterns throughout the day
- Session-specific performance (open, lunch, close)
- Identify your peak performance hours
- Avoid trading during low-performance periods
- Align trading schedule with market volatility
Position Analysis
Long vs Short Performance
The P&L by Side Chart (widget-registry.tsx:393-401) compares:- Total P&L for long positions
- Total P&L for short positions
- Win rate by direction
- Average profit/loss per direction
- Directional bias in your trading
- Whether you’re better at longs or shorts
- Market condition alignment (trending vs ranging)
Time in Position

- Daily breakdown of instrument performance
- Trending vs ranging instrument identification
- Seasonal patterns in specific symbols
Advanced Analytics
Tick Distribution Analysis
The Tick Distribution Chart (widget-registry.tsx:420-428) visualizes:- Distribution of ticks won vs ticks lost
- Frequency of trades at each tick level
- Skew toward winners or losers
- Outlier identification
- Normal distribution indicates consistent trading
- Skewed right = more large winners
- Skewed left = more large losers (risk management issue)
Commission Impact
The Commissions P&L Chart (widget-registry.tsx:429-437) tracks:- Gross P&L before commissions
- Net P&L after commissions
- Commission percentage of gross profits
- Cumulative commission costs
- High commission/profit ratio (>10%) suggests over-trading
- Compare commission costs across brokers

- Percentage of trades in each P&L bucket
- Skewness and kurtosis of returns
- Fat tail risk assessment
Decile Analysis
Deltalytix automatically segments your trades into deciles (10 equal groups) based on P&L:- Decile 1 - Bottom 10% of trades (worst losers)
- Decile 5 - Middle 50% of trades
- Decile 10 - Top 10% of trades (best winners)
- Are your worst losers manageable? (Decile 1)
- Is your middle performance consistent? (Deciles 4-6)
- Do you have enough big winners? (Decile 10)
- Is your return distribution normal or skewed?
Filtering & Segmentation
All analytics respect your active filters:- Date Range - Analyze specific time periods
- Accounts - Single or multi-account analysis
- Instruments - Symbol-specific performance
- Tags - Strategy or setup-based analysis
- P&L Range - Focus on winners, losers, or specific ranges
- Position Direction - Long or short only

Best Practices
Review Weekly
Set aside time each week to review your analytics. Look for pattern changes and performance trends.
Track Key Metrics
Focus on 3-5 core metrics (e.g., win rate, profit factor, average P&L) rather than trying to optimize everything.
Use Date Filters
Compare recent performance (last 30 days) against longer periods (6-12 months) to spot degradation.
Segment Analysis
Use tags to separate different strategies, then analyze each separately. A strategy mix might mask underperformance.
