Edge Analyzer tracks and calculates the metrics that matter most for evaluating your trading performance. Here’s what each metric means and how to use it.

​
Core Metrics

​
Expectancy Formula

Expectancy Calculation

Expectancy = (Win Rate × Avg Win) - (Loss Rate × Avg Loss)
A positive expectancy means your trading system is profitable over time. The higher the expectancy, the more you can expect to earn per trade on average.

​
Session-Based Metrics

Edge Analyzer categorizes trades by trading session based on execution time:

​
Why Session Analysis Matters

Session analysis reveals which time periods produce your best results. You might discover:
  • You have a 60% win rate in NY session but only 35% in Asia
  • Your profit factor is highest during London session
  • Most of your losses occur in the first hour of NY open
Use session insights to focus your trading on the times when you perform best.

​
Instrument-Based Metrics

Performance is broken down by instrument so you can see which markets you trade most profitably:

​
Insights You Can Gain

  • Which instruments have your highest win rate
  • Where your largest winners come from
  • Which instruments to avoid based on poor performance

​
Hold Time Analysis

Edge Analyzer tracks how long you hold positions and correlates hold time with trade outcomes:

​
Example Insight

“Your average hold time on losing trades is 4.2 minutes vs. 1.8 minutes on winners. Consider implementing tighter stop losses to reduce time in losing positions.”

​
Trade Distribution

​
By Day of Week

See which days of the week produce your best and worst results. Many traders find patterns like:
  • Monday: choppy, lower win rate
  • Tuesday-Thursday: best performance
  • Friday: reduced size due to weekend risk

​
By Time of Day

Track performance by hour to identify:
  • Your most profitable trading windows
  • Times to avoid trading
  • Optimal session focus

​
Calculating Your Edge

Your “edge” is the statistical advantage your trading system provides. Key metrics that define your edge:

Profit Factor > 1.5

Your wins significantly outweigh your losses

Win Rate > 50%

You win more trades than you lose

Positive Expectancy

You expect to make money per trade on average

R:R > 1:1

Your average win is larger than your average loss

​
Filtering Metrics

  • Date range — Today, this week, this month, custom
  • Account — Individual account or all accounts combined
  • Instrument — Specific futures contracts
  • Session — Asia, London, or New York
  • Setup type — If you’ve tagged trades with setup types
