The Timing tab answers: “When do I trade best?” This tab combines temporal pattern analysis with consistency metrics. It helps you identify your most profitable trading windows, track your discipline streak, and catch overtrading before it becomes a habit.

Day of Week Performance

Four cards breaking down your performance by day of week:
CardWhat it shows
Best Performing DayDay with the highest total P&L + trade count
Least Performing DayDay with the lowest total P&L + trade count
Most Active DayDay you trade the most
Best Win Rate DayDay with the highest win percentage
Use this to identify which days consistently work for you — and which ones you might consider sitting out.

Time of Day Performance

Performance broken down into five market-session buckets based on your trade entry time:
BucketHours
Pre-marketBefore 9:30 AM
Morning9:30 – 11:00 AM
Midday11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Afternoon1:00 – 3:00 PM
After-hoursAfter 3:00 PM
Each bucket shows:
  • Trade count with an activity bar
  • Average P&L
  • Win rate
  • Average Align Score
What to look for: Most traders perform best during one or two windows. If your afternoon stats are consistently worse, consider setting a hard stop time in your Game Plan.

Consistency Metrics

Four cards measuring behavioral and performance consistency:
MetricWhat it measures
Win StreakLongest run of consecutive wins (ignoring breakevens)
Loss StreakLongest run of consecutive losses (ignoring breakevens)
Profitable Days %Percentage of trading days that ended with a net profit
Risk-Adjusted ReturnA Sharpe-like ratio measuring return consistency — higher is better

Trading Calendar

A GitHub-style heatmap showing your daily Align Score over the last 13 weeks.
  • Each cell represents one day
  • Color intensity reflects your average Align Score for that day:
    • Gray — no trades
    • Red — low alignment (score < 4)
    • Amber — moderate alignment (score 4–6)
    • Light green — good alignment (score 6–8)
    • Bright green — excellent alignment (score 8–10)
  • Hover any cell to see the date, trade count, P&L, and exact Align Score
What to look for: Consistency streaks. A wall of green cells means sustained discipline. Clusters of red or amber suggest periods where your process broke down — check the Mindset tab for those dates.

Trend Charts

Tracks your Profit Factor over time with a reference line at 1.0.
  • Above 1.0 = profitable for that period
  • Below 1.0 = losing for that period
Hover for win/loss counts per period. A declining profit factor trend is an early warning sign — even if your overall number is still above 1.0.
Shows your average risk-adjusted return per period.
  • Values are displayed as multiples of risk (e.g., +1.5R means you gained 1.5x your risked amount)
  • Reference line at 0R marks breakeven
  • Only includes trades with a defined R-multiple
This chart strips out position sizing and shows pure risk-reward performance.

Overtrading Detection

Flags days where your trade count exceeded the max trades limit set in your Game Plan. Each flagged day shows:
  • Date
  • Actual trade count vs your set limit
  • How many trades over the limit
  • P&L for that day (often negative — overtrading usually hurts)
This requires a max trades limit set in your Game Plan. If you haven’t set one, this section will show a prompt to do so.
Why it matters: Overtrading is one of the most common and costly behavioral patterns. Having a visual record of when you exceeded your own rules creates accountability and awareness.
Time-of-day buckets use your trade’s entry time. If your broker records times in a different timezone than your local time, the buckets may not align perfectly with your market session — adjust your interpretation accordingly.
