What's on the screen

Analytics tab on Instrument, Symbol with header, KPIs, Attribution, metric bars, Cross and Bucket table
The Analytics tab on Instrument, Symbol.
  1. Family and chips: what you split your trades by.
  2. Header: how many trades, and how much of your result this dimension explains.
  3. KPIs: best, worst, most and least traded bucket.
  4. Attribution: how much each bucket adds to or takes from your net. See attribution.
  5. Metric by bucket: bars in the metric you pick, such as Net, Expectancy or Win rate. The Win rate card next to it splits winners and losers.
  6. Cross: a heatmap crossing this dimension with a second one.
  7. Bucket table: every number per bucket, with 4 wks (recent trend) and a 12 weeks line.

Hatched steps and cells, and dimmed rows, have few trades: under 10 per bucket, or under 5 per Cross cell. Read them as hints.

FAQ

What does explains X% of your result mean?

It compares your best and worst bucket against all your P&L. High means this dimension separates your results a lot. It doesn't prove it's the cause.

Why does a chip say no data?

None of these trades carries that information yet, for example no linked setup or no tags.

Why can't some buckets become a Hub rule?

Only choices you make before entering can be rules. If the Consistency Hub has no matching rule, you get the sentence to add as your own rule.
