1.⁠ ⁠P&L (Profit & Loss)

What it shows: Total profit or loss from all completed trades in the selected time period.

Calculation: Sum of P&L from all completed trades. Each trade's P&L is calculated as:

•⁠ ⁠Long trades: (Exit Price - Entry Price) × Quantity × Contract Value

•⁠ ⁠Short trades: (Entry Price - Exit Price) × Quantity × Contract Value

Display: Shows dollar amount with K/M formatting for large values. Green for profit, red for loss.

2.⁠ ⁠Profit Factor

What it shows: Ratio measuring the relationship between gross profits and gross losses.

Calculation: Gross Profits ÷ Gross Losses

•⁠ ⁠Gross Profits = Sum of all winning trades

•⁠ ⁠Gross Losses = Sum of absolute values of all losing trades

•⁠ ⁠If no losses exist, displays ∞ (infinity)

•⁠ ⁠Values above 1.0 indicate profitability

Display: Decimal number (e.g., 1.25) with donut chart showing profit vs loss proportion.

3.⁠ ⁠Win Rate

What it shows: Percentage of trades that were profitable.

Calculation: (Number of Winning Trades ÷ Total Completed Trades) × 100

•⁠ ⁠Winning trades = trades with P&L > 0

•⁠ ⁠Losing trades = trades with P&L < 0

•⁠ ⁠Breakeven trades (P&L = 0) are not counted as wins

Display: Percentage with donut chart showing win/loss trade distribution.

4.⁠ ⁠Average Win/Loss

What it shows: Average dollar amount of winning trades vs losing trades.

Calculation:

•⁠ ⁠Average Win = Gross Profits ÷ Number of Winning Trades

•⁠ ⁠Average Loss = Gross Losses ÷ Number of Losing Trades

•⁠ ⁠Overall Average = Total P&L ÷ Total Trades

Display: Bar chart showing proportion of average win to average loss amounts.

5.⁠ ⁠Day Win %

What it shows: Percentage of trading days that ended with positive P&L.

Calculation: (Number of Profitable Days ÷ Total Trading Days) × 100

•⁠ ⁠Only counts days with actual trades

•⁠ ⁠Profitable day = daily P&L > 0

•⁠ ⁠Applies selected date range filter

Display: Percentage with bar showing winning vs losing days count.


6.⁠ ⁠Tradesyncer Score

What it shows: Composite score (0-100) combining three key performance metrics into an overall trading performance rating.

Calculation: Average of three normalized scores:

Win Rate Score: Direct percentage (0-100%)

Profit Factor Score: Profit Factor × 50, capped at 100 (1.0 = 50 points, 2.0 = 100 points)

Win/Loss Ratio Score: (Average Win ÷ Average Loss) × 50, capped at 100

Display: Radar chart showing all three components with overall score and color-coded progress bar (red <30, orange 30-49, yellow 50-69, green 70+).

7.⁠ ⁠Profit & Loss (Daily Bar Chart)

What it shows: Daily P&L performance displayed as a bar chart over time.

Calculation: Groups all trades by trading day

Calculates total P&L for each day using standard trade P&L formula

Each bar represents one trading day's total profit/loss

Display: Bar chart with green bars for profitable days, red bars for losing days. Tooltip shows daily totals, trade count, win/loss breakdown, and average win/loss for that day.

8.⁠ ⁠Daily Cumulative P&L

What it shows: Running total of P&L over time, showing account growth/decline progression.

Calculation: Takes daily P&L values and creates cumulative sum

Day 1: Daily P&L, Day 2: Day 1 + Day 2, Day 3: Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3, etc.

Tracks the total account performance progression over time

Display: Area chart with zero reference line. Green area above zero (profitable), red area below zero (losing). Shows the overall trajectory of trading performance from start to current date.
