Trade Health Indicator
A vital-signs monitor for your trading account. Most stats panels show you win rate and profit — this one reads the health of your strategy and tells you, in plain language, whether your edge is real or just lucky.
It reads your closed trade history directly from the account, reconstructs every position, and surfaces the diagnostics that a pretty equity curve hides — starting with the single most overlooked one: how long you hold winners versus losers.
What it shows on your chart:
▸ Performance — total trades, win rate, profit factor, net P/L, expectancy ▸ Win / Loss — average win, average loss, R:R, best and worst trade, max consecutive streaks ▸ Holding-Time Asymmetry — average and median hold time for wins vs losses, profit-per-hour for each side, and a visual win-vs-loss duration bar ▸ Verdict — an instant read: Balanced, Holds Losers Longer, Hope-Holding Detected, or Runner-Dependent ▸ Pro Assessment — a plain-English summary that synthesizes every metric and tells you what your numbers actually mean
Why it matters:
A system that holds losers far longer than winners is hoping, not managing — and that pattern flatters the win rate right up until the trade that doesn't come back. A system whose profits rest on a few rare long-running winners is more fragile than its curve suggests. The Trade Health Indicator catches both, plus the mean-vs-median divergences and tail risks that standard dashboards miss entirely.
Key features:
▸ Reads real account history — any broker, any symbol ▸ Position-based analysis — correctly handles netting and hedging accounts ▸ Median alongside mean, so one outlier trade can't distort the picture ▸ Flexible filtering — by magic number, current symbol, or full account; today, week, month, last 30/90 days, year, or all time ▸ Clean, fully customizable on-chart panel with auto-refresh ▸ 100% read-only — it never opens, modifies, or closes a single trade
Who it's for:
Algo developers auditing an EA's real behaviour, discretionary traders checking their own discipline, and anyone who wants to know whether their results are robust — or just a good run that hasn't ended yet.
