Analytics & Reporting

The Reporting engine is your forensic accounting department. It moves beyond simple P&L to analyze your Expectancy (how much you make when you're right vs. lose when you're wrong) and Consistency (the reliability of your edge).

User Manual

The Complete User Guide

OpenTrades reporting is divided into two distinct layers: the Summary Dashboard (Macro View) and Granular Reports (Micro View). This guide explains how to interpret the data to optimize your trading business.

1. The Summary Dashboard

The Summary view acts as your daily health check. It aggregates all data for the selected date range into five key performance panels.

Highlights (Efficiency)

  • Net Profit %: Your return relative to your starting balance or deployed capital.
  • Win Rate: The percentage of trades that closed positive.
  • Profit Factor: The ultimate measure of sustainability. Calculated as (Gross Profit / Gross Loss).
    > 1.5 is healthy.

Financials (The Bottom Line)

  • Gross P&L: Profit before fees.
  • Commissions: Total fees paid to the broker. High commissions can destroy a profitable strategy.
  • Net P&L: Your actual "Take Home" profit.

Duration (Time Analysis)

Compares how long you hold winners vs. losers.

Warning Sign: If "Losers Hold" is significantly higher than "Winners Hold," you are "holding and hoping"—a critical psychological leak.

Consistency (Reliability)

Visualizes your "Batting Average" by days. A high Win Rate on trades means nothing if you have one massive Red Day that wipes out a month of Green Days.

2. Deep Dive Reports

Clicking on any tab (Symbol, Strategy, Day, Time) opens a Granular Report. This breaks down your performance by that specific variable to find leaks.

The Outlier Tiles

At the top of every report, we instantly highlight statistical outliers:

Best Performer
NVDA (+$4,200)
Worst Performer
SPY (-$1,100)

Visual Analysis (Dual-Axis Chart)

The main chart allows you to correlate volume/profit with consistency.

  • Bar Chart (Left Axis): Represents Net P&L. Green bars are profit, Red bars are loss.
  • Line Chart (Right Axis): Represents Win Rate %.
  • Usage: Look for divergence. If a Strategy has high P&L (Tall Green Bar) but low Win Rate (Low Line), it is a high-volatility "Homerun" strategy.

The Data Table

The sortable table below the chart provides the raw data. Click any column header (e.g., "Avg Loss") to sort.
Tip: Click a row to see a filtered list of every individual trade that makes up that group.

3. Metrics Glossary

Metric Definition

Avg Win / Loss The average dollar value of winning trades vs losing trades. (Risk/Reward Ratio).
