Analytics

Know whether you have an edge, not just a P&L

Why we built Analytics

P&L tells you whether you made money. It cannot tell you whether you have an edge, whether that edge is shrinking, or whether one lucky trade is carrying the whole account. Profit isn't proof. So Analytics measures your results in R, checks them for luck, and splits them by time, instrument, setup and behaviour. Every number comes with what it means, not just what it is.

Measure your edge in R, not rupees

Expectancy, win rate, profit factor and SQN, all in R, so results compare fairly across position sizes, instruments and months.

Do your stops and targets fit?

MAE shows how far each trade went against you before it closed. Stops that are too tight and targets that are too greedy both leave a trace here.

Questions traders ask

What is expectancy in trading?

Expectancy is the average amount you make per trade, expressed in R, the risk you took on each trade. A positive expectancy over a meaningful number of trades is what a trading edge looks like in numbers.

What is a good SQN score?

Tracktions shows SQN once you have 30 closed trades and grades it: below 1 is Poor, then Below average, Average from 2, Good from 3, Excellent from 5 and Holy Grail from 7.

How do I know if my trading profits are just luck?

Look at expectancy without your best trade and at your last 20 trades next to your all-time numbers. Tracktions flags an edge as concentrated in one trade when removing your best trade cuts expectancy below 40%.

What are MAE and MFE in trading?

MAE is the furthest a trade moved against you before it closed; MFE is the furthest it moved in your favour. Together they show whether your stops are too tight and whether you exit winners too early. MAE/MFE analysis is part of the Elite plan.

Why does Tracktions measure results in R instead of rupees?

Because R adjusts for the risk you took. A ₹5,000 profit on a ₹1,000 risk (+5R) is a very different trade from the same profit on a ₹10,000 risk (+0.5R). R lets you compare trades, instruments and months fairly.
