Understanding the Dashboard

Reading Your Dashboard

The Tradapt dashboard is your command center. It's designed to give you the most important information about your trading at a glance, without overwhelming you with data.

Here's what each section means and what to pay attention to.

Stats Cards (Top Row)

Win Rate — The percentage of your closed trades that were profitable. A higher win rate isn't always better — a 40% win rate with a 1:3 risk/reward can be more profitable than a 70% win rate with a 1:1.

Profit Factor — Gross profit divided by gross loss. Anything above 1.0 means you're net profitable. Above 1.5 is good. Above 2.0 is excellent.

Total Trades — Your sample size. Statistics become meaningful after about 50–100 trades. If you have fewer than 20, treat your numbers as directional, not definitive.

Average R — Your average gain per trade measured in R-multiples. A positive number means you're making more than you risk on average.

Equity Curve

The equity curve shows your cumulative P&L over time. What you want to see:

• Steady upward slope — Consistent profitability
• Shallow drawdowns — Your losing periods are controlled
• Recovery after drawdowns — You make back losses relatively quickly

What to watch out for:

• Choppy, sideways movement — You might be breaking even with high risk
• Sudden large drops — Individual blow-up trades
• Long flat periods — Overtrading or poor selectivity

P&L Chart

This shows your daily profit and loss as a bar chart. Green bars are profitable days, red bars are losing days.

Look for patterns:

• Are your losing days bigger than your winning days in dollar terms?
• Do you have many small winners and occasional large losers?
• Are your worst days clustered together (revenge trading pattern)?

Recent Trades

A quick view of your last 5–10 trades. Check if you're executing to plan — are your actual stop losses and targets matching your intended levels?

Dashboard Updates Live

Every time you log a trade, the dashboard recalculates instantly. This makes it easy to see how a single trade shifts your overall stats, which can be motivating (or sobering) in real time.
