Performance Viewer Help

[philippe07024]

The help is very thin describing the tabs of the Performance Viewer.
Please help me understand the different columns when I look at the Periods tab with hours or day selected.
What is the time frame beginning and end compared wot what is shown in the 1st column?
Are we looking at trades opened or closed during that time frame?
What is SR?
What is Profit p.m.?

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

Sure happy to expand for you.

Closed trades and SR is Sharpe Ratio and Profit P.M. is Profit Per Month.

You can find out how these work here:

Let me know if any further questions.

Brett, thank you for the answers.

Do you have an example of how to use this input?

Does this suggest to force the close of trades at particular hours?
Why not looking also at the effect of the opening time on the performance?

It would mainly be beneficial if you were a scalp/day trader and taking trading inside of 1 hour time frame and wanted to analyze what time of the day you were getting the most profitable trades and then you can then maybe focus more on that time period and less on others. With all data there are many ways to read the result but I would say this is the primary goal here with this period section.
