How to Analyze Your Trades: From Data to Action
Useful analysis starts with a specific question, not random chart watching. Segment clean data, measure the right metric and create one testable action.
Build reliable data
Record instrument, time, strategy, risk, result and plan adherence with consistent labels. Inconsistent inputs make every dashboard misleading.
Segment the trades
Review strategy, instrument, weekday, hour, session and mental state separately. Read sample size, win rate, Profit Factor and average wins and losses alongside net P&L.
Move from analysis to action
Choose one important pattern and write a clear rule for the next period. After a sufficient sample, measure again and keep or revise the change.
