Trade History Review
Result decomposed by instrument, session, weekday, holding time and direction, with a test for whether the sample supports any conclusion at all.
A statement sorted by date tells you when money moved. Sorted by almost anything else, the same file starts explaining why. This is the section that reorganises a record until the structure underneath becomes visible, and it is where most reviews find their largest single finding.
What gets computed
- Contribution by instrument, with the cost of each stripped out separately from its gross result.
- Result by session and by hour of entry. Traders reliably underestimate how much of their loss sits in one or two hours of the day.
- Holding time for winners against holding time for losers. A wide gap in that ratio is diagnostic on its own.
- Long against short performance on the same instrument, which frequently separates a method from a directional bias its owner has not noticed.
- Concentration: what share of gross profit the five largest winners produced, and what the record looks like with them removed.
- Expectancy expressed in R multiples, so that varying position size stops distorting the comparison.
- Profit factor recomputed on a trimmed sample and across a rolling window, rather than reported once as a headline.
- Sample adequacy. Below roughly two hundred trades the arithmetic frequently cannot separate skill from sequence, and the report says so instead of manufacturing a finding.
What you receive
Tables with the working shown, a short written reading of each, and a summary that states which findings the data supports firmly and which it only suggests. Where a number is unstable, the report gives a range instead of a false decimal.
What to send
A full statement export from MetaTrader 4 or 5, cTrader or TradingView, or a CSV of closed positions from an exchange. Read-only. Nothing is requested before scope and fee are agreed in writing.
What this section will not tell you
It describes the period your data covers and nothing beyond it. It contains no forecast, no view on any instrument, and no recommendation to trade. A record with no measurable edge does not acquire one by being analysed carefully.
