Advanced metrics explained

The metrics professional traders track — and how SuperTrader automates them.

Metric

Expectancy

+$214
per trade, on average
(Win Rate × Avg Win) − (Loss Rate × Avg Loss)

The #1 metric for whether a strategy is viable long-term. SuperTrader calculates it per setup type — so you know exactly which strategies have positive expectancy and which to eliminate.

6-mo trend

Metric

Sharpe Ratio

1.84
risk-adjusted return
Return / Volatility of Returns

A Sharpe above 1.0 means your returns are justified by the risk you're taking. SuperTrader tracks it monthly and by strategy — so you can see which setups are generating clean risk-adjusted returns.

6-mo trend

Metric

MAE / MFE

0.41 MAE
stop optimization ratio
Adverse Excursion vs Favorable Excursion

How far a trade went against you before reversal (MAE) and how far in your favor before reversing (MFE). SuperTrader plots your full distribution — revealing stop placement and exit timing improvements worth thousands.

6-mo trend

Metric

Profit Factor

2.3
gross profit vs gross loss
Gross Profit / Gross Loss

A profit factor above 1.5 is generally considered sustainable. Above 2.0 indicates a genuinely strong edge. SuperTrader tracks it per setup type and flags when a setup's profit factor deteriorates over time.

Feature depth

Four analytics layers no basic journal offers.

Expectancy by setup type

Overall expectancy masks what's really happening. SuperTrader calculates expectancy per setup type so you can see which strategies have positive expectancy — and immediately stop trading the ones that don't. Most traders discover 1–2 setups are carrying the account while others silently drain it.

MAE/MFE analysis

Are your stops too tight? Are you leaving money in winners? MAE/MFE shows you the distribution of how far trades went against you (MAE) and how far in your favor (MFE) — the data you need to optimize entries, exits, and position sizing. A single MAE insight can be worth thousands per year.

Multi-account consolidation

Professional traders often run multiple accounts — live, funded account, IRA. SuperTrader consolidates all accounts into one portfolio view with combined metrics — or lets you analyze each account independently. See your true edge across your entire operation, not just one account.

Monthly performance reports

A detailed PDF-ready monthly report: P&L by strategy, risk-adjusted metrics, drawdown analysis, setup performance, and rule adherence. Share with a trading mentor or keep for your own records. Every professional trader should have a monthly review — SuperTrader makes it automatic.

Risk analytics

The risk dashboard your P&L depends on.

Beyond P&L: SuperTrader surfaces the risk picture that determines whether your account survives long enough to compound. Drawdown by time period, drawdown by setup type, win/loss streak analysis, daily Value at Risk, and Kelly-optimal position sizing — all in one dashboard.

  • Drawdown by time period and by setup type
  • Win/loss streak analysis and tilt detection
  • Daily Value at Risk (VaR) from historical performance
  • Kelly Criterion position sizing per setup
