Add a metric such as Profit Factor to any report chart, and learn what it tells you about each bar.
- Click Reports, expand Trade and open Hourly (any report works the same way).
- Click the + next to the PNL metric menu above the chart to open the Metrics window.
- Type in Search metrics, for example profit factor, and tick the metric.
- Click Apply. The metric appears as a line over the bars, with a chip above the chart; click the x on the chip to remove it.
- Hover a bar to read the PnL and the metric side by side. In the 2022 data, 14:00 made the most money but its Profit Factor is 1.00, while 22:00 made a small profit with a Profit Factor of 3.32.
Profit Factor is your gross profit divided by your gross loss: above 1 you win more than you lose, and 3 means every dollar lost was matched by three dollars won. Win % is the share of your winning and losing trades that were winners; breakeven trades are not counted. Avg PnL $ is the average result per trade. The + at the right end of the table header opens the same window for the table columns.
