Daily reports

Where Performance summarises a period and the calendar shows its shape, a report is the session itself. Pick a day from the rail down the side and the whole page becomes that day: the trades you took, the curve they made, and about twenty figures describing how you traded it.

Which day you are looking at

The day is in the page address, so a report is a link. With nothing named it opens on today — today in the timezone saved on your profile rather than the server’s, which matters more than it sounds: from eight in the evening in New York until midnight UTC, “today” in UTC names a day that has not happened, and the evening-review page would open completely empty.

The day rail is fed from the same monthly snapshot the Performance calendar reads, so a day cannot show one net there and a different one here. Clicking a day pushes it into history, so Back steps through the days you looked at. You can hide the rail, and it comes back when you leave the page.

The top band

• Net P&L — the day’s result, as a live intraday sparkline rather than a bare number — so you can see whether it was made early and defended, or clawed back at the close.
• Max Drawdown — the same treatment for the worst the day got. This is the figure a prop firm’s daily loss limit is measured against.
• Expectancy — the day’s net divided by the day’s trades. Note that the Performance board divides by DECIDED trades instead, so the two are answering slightly different questions.

Day Metrics — five rings

• Consistency Score — shows an em dash on a daily report, always. It is a share of DAYS, so over a single day it could only ever be 0% or 100% — exactly the reading the ten-day floor elsewhere exists to refuse.
• Win Rate — for the day. This one excludes breakevens from its denominator.
• Profit Factor — the day’s gross profit over its gross loss.
• Win/Loss Ratio — the day’s average win against its average loss. It is a money ratio, like the Trades table’s tile of the same name and unlike the Performance board’s, which counts trades.
• Trade Streak — the run you finished on, signed — “5W” for five wins, “3L” for three losses, “0” when nothing was decided. Breakevens are skipped rather than breaking the run, so a day that went win, win, scratch, win reports 3W rather than 0.

The rings are all drawn in one neutral tone. A ring is a scale, not a verdict, and colouring five of them by valence would make the panel argue with itself.

The spine

The day’s cumulative result as a stepped line — up on a win, down on a loss, one step per trade — over the table of the trades that made it. Reading the two together is the point: a flat day with a violent middle is a different day from a flat day that never moved, and only one of them is a problem.

On a day with more trades than one page holds, the card says so — “Showing 100 of N trades for this day”. The curve is folded from the whole day while the table stops at its page, and without that line the two halves of one card would be describing different sets of trades in silence. If the trades cannot be read at all, the card says that too, rather than showing the neutral empty state, which would read as “you did not trade today”.

The right rail

• P&L by Symbol — with a switcher for four axes — Symbol, Direction, Time of day and Setup. All four come from one read of the day’s trades, so switching costs nothing.
• Overtrading Index — has no agreed formula yet, so it renders its empty state. Its footer figures — trades taken, the maximum from your trading plan, the extras over it and how many periods ran over — are fully specified; the index itself is the part that is not.

The bottom row

P&L Composition is one bar of four sections, each drawn at its own magnitude: gross profit, gross loss, net P&L and fees & commissions. Fees and commission are one section on purpose — split them and the commission would sit inside the net with no segment of its own, and the four would not reconcile.

Beside it, the Report card. Its overview block is seven fields — total trades, wins, losses, breakeven, average hold time, average win and average loss — with a three-segment bar showing the win/loss/breakeven proportion. Average win and average loss print an em dash when there were none of that kind: “$0 average win” on a day with no winners is a confidently wrong number.

And twelve extended stats

In this fixed order: largest profit, largest loss, max drawdown (%), avg drawdown ($), avg drawdown (%), max consecutive losses, avg hold (win), avg hold (loss), avg hold (scratch), avg planned R, avg realized R, total swap. They span money, percent, counts, R-multiples and durations, and each one is labelled with its unit so there is nothing to infer.

Total swap is the one row nothing feeds yet. A trade carries no overnight financing figure anywhere in Alltra, and the day’s rollup writes zero for it, so the row reads $0.00 for everybody. Read that as “not recorded”, not as “you were charged none” — it is the only figure on this page that does not mean what it says, and it will start meaning it the day a trade carries swap.

Using it at the end of a session

1. 1Write the journal entry first — while the day is still yours rather than the numbers’. The report drawer under the editor is this same page, so you do not have to leave.
2. 2Then read the report against it — the two disagree more often than you would expect, and the disagreement is the useful part.
3. 3Check planned R against realised R — a large gap does not mean the strategy is wrong. It means you are not trading the strategy you wrote down, which is a much easier problem to fix — and the report is the one page that puts the two averages side by side. Per trade, the Trades table’s R : R and R-multiple columns say the same thing one row at a time.

Five minutes a day here is worth more than an hour at month end, because a report is the only place the day is still whole.
