Core Dashboard Metrics & Account Intelligence
The Dashboard serves as your operational headquarters in ILoveTrading. It synthesizes raw execution history into high-level mathematical KPIs, distribution gauges, and behavioral efficiency benchmarks across your selected accounts and date ranges.
1. Top Indicator Ribbon
The top indicator ribbon displays the primary health metrics of your trading account:
| Metric | Calculation | Analytical Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Current Balance | Starting Deposit + Realized Net PnL | Real-time cash balance reflecting all closed executions. |
| Net PnL | Gross Profit - Gross Loss - Commissions - Swaps | Absolute take-home monetary yield after all execution costs. |
| Gross PnL | Gross Profit - Gross Loss | Raw edge performance before broker fee deductions. |
| Max Drawdown | Peak-to-Trough Account Equity Dip (%) | Maximum historical equity retracement; vital for risk-of-ruin management. |
| Avg Time in Position | Total Holding Minutes / Total Trades | Measures average exposure duration to classify scalping vs. swing behavior. |
2. Quantitative Performance Gauges (Donut Cards)
Four specialized donut visualizers isolate the core components of your statistical edge:
1. Win Rate Gauge
Visualizes the proportion of winning executions relative to total closed trades:
Formula / Calculation
Win Rate (%) = (Winning Trades / Total Trades) × 100
2. Profit Factor Gauge
Quantifies the gross dollar return generated for every single dollar lost:
Formula / Calculation
Profit Factor = Gross Profit / Gross Loss
- Benchmark Thresholds: Below 1.0 (Losing Strategy), 1.3 – 1.7 (Viable Edge), 2.0+ (Institutional-Grade Execution).
3. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R)
Compares your average winning trade against your average losing trade:
Formula / Calculation
Realized R:R = Average Win Amount / Average Loss Amount
A strategy with a 40% Win Rate is consistently profitable if Realized R:R remains above 1:2.0.
4. Largest Win vs. Largest Loss
A direct tail-risk comparison measuring your single largest winning payout against your most severe drawdown loss.
Tip
[!TIP] Tail-Risk Audit: If your Largest Loss exceeds 2.5× your Largest Win, you may be experiencing discipline failure (e.g., removing stop losses or averaging into losing positions).
3. Advanced Breakdown & Directional Distribution
Below the primary indicators, three specialized breakdown widgets evaluate execution precision:
-
Target Precision (Progress Circle): Compares the percentage of trades that reached planned Take Profit targets versus those stopped out or closed at breakeven.
-
Average Win vs. Average Loss (Horizontal Bars): Displays the dollar magnitude of average winners versus average losers side-by-side to highlight expectancy asymmetry.
-
Long vs. Short Directional Bias: Breaks down trade volume and win rates by trade direction (Buy vs. Sell), revealing whether you suffer from unconscious market bias during trending or range-bound regimes.
4. Session Intelligence & Scheduling Optimization
The dashboard automatically tracks execution timestamps across market centers to isolate performance across:
- Most Active Session: The session where you concentrate the majority of your volume (Asian, London, or New York).
- Most Profitable Session: The market window generating your highest cumulative Net PnL.
- Least Profitable Session: The time window leaking capital or suffering from low-volatility chop.
5. Filtering & Multi-Account Isolation
Important
[!IMPORTANT] Dynamic Filtering: All dashboard KPIs dynamically recalculate when you adjust the Account Selector, Date Range Picker, Symbol Filter, or Strategy Tags in the top navigation bar.
Note
[!NOTE] Unmapped Asset Notice: If an orange banner appears indicating unmapped assets, navigate to Settings > Ticker Discovery to map broker-specific ticker suffixes to canonical assets for exact tick valuation.
