A plain-language guide to every number and chart on the Analytics page, from profit factor to net vs gross.

What the Analytics page shows
The Analytics page is a quick read on how you are trading. It combines headline numbers, a summary of your daily results, and charts that break down where your P&L comes from.
Every section respects the filters at the top, so you can zoom into a symbol, a strategy, a time window, or any other slice of your history.
The KPI row
The top row shows your headline numbers: total P&L, win rate, trade count, profit factor, average P&L per trade, and the win/loss ratio. Each card also has a small sparkline of how that number moved across the period.
When a comparison period is available, a green or red chip shows the change from the previous window. The arrow tells you the direction; it does not judge whether the change is good or bad.
Hover the info icon on any card for a short explanation of the metric.
Profit factor
Profit factor divides your total winnings by your total losses. A value above 1 means you earn more than you lose overall; below 1 means the opposite.
It is a quick sanity check, not the full story. A strategy with a high profit factor can still lose money if it trades rarely.
Average P&L per trade
Average P&L per trade divides total P&L by the number of trades. A positive value means the average trade makes money.
This removes the effect of how often you trade, which makes it one of the most useful single numbers. Compare it across strategies to find which setup earns the most per attempt.
Win / loss ratio
The win/loss ratio compares the average winning trade to the average losing trade. A ratio above 1 means your winners are bigger than your losers.
A high win rate with a low ratio can still be unprofitable, so read these two together.
The equity curve
The equity curve plots your cumulative P&L over time. A rising line means you are compounding; a falling stretch means losses.
The dashed amber line marks your peak value, and the gap between it and the green line is your current drawdown. The Peak and Drawdown numbers above the chart show the same thing in dollars and percent.
Daily P&L
Daily P&L shows one bar per trading day. Green bars are profit days, red bars are loss days, and the violet line shows how many trades you took that day.
Scan the pattern: clusters of red bars point to a bad stretch, while tall green bars show where the month was made.
Net vs gross and trading costs
Net P&L is the number reported by your broker or exchange after trading costs. Gross P&L adds those costs back so you can see how much they eat into your results.
Costs include fees, commissions, and swaps. For most sources these are already inside the reported P&L, so gross is shown for reference.
Filters and date ranges
Use the date tabs to switch between the last 7, 30, or 90 days, or pick a custom window. Everything on the page recomputes for the selected range.
The filter menu narrows the data by symbol, side, result, tags, strategy, weekday, and session. Combine several to answer questions like how a specific symbol behaves on Wednesdays.
