What is the Stats Bar?
The stats bar is your always-visible performance tracker that appears at the top of every page in your trading journal. Think of it as your trading scoreboard—showing you exactly where you stand at any moment.
Whether you're logging trades, reviewing analytics, or managing accounts, your key metrics are always one glance away. No context switching. No hunting for data. Just pure, instant insight into your performance.
💡 Stay Accountable in Real-Time
When you can see your P/L updating as you log trades, you stay accountable to your rules. Hit your daily loss limit? The stats bar tells you immediately—before you're tempted to revenge trade.
Key Metrics in the Stats Bar
📊 Yesterday P/L
See how you closed yesterday's trading session. Provides crucial context for today's trading.
- • Big green day? Don't let overconfidence creep in
- • Red day? Avoid revenge trading today
- • Small green? Good sign of consistency
🎯 Today P/L
Your most important intraday metric. Track performance in real-time as you log trades.
Many successful traders use this to enforce daily loss limits and profit targets. When the number hits your threshold, you stop trading—no exceptions.
📅 Week P/L
Your rolling 7-day performance shows whether you're building momentum or struggling with consistency.
Especially important for prop firm traders—many firms have weekly consistency requirements.
📈 Month P/L
Monthly performance is the ultimate measure of professional trading.
One good day doesn't make a career—but consistent positive months do. Track progress toward monthly profit targets.
💰 Overall P/L
Your cumulative performance across all time. This is your equity curve in a single number.
While day-to-day fluctuations are normal, your overall P/L should trend upward if you're a profitable trader. If it's consistently flat or declining, it's a signal to analyze what's not working.
Powerful Filtering System
Not all trades are created equal. That's why the stats bar includes a sophisticated filtering system that lets you customize which trades are included in your statistics.
Trade Type Filters
🌐 All Trades
See everything—live, eval, sim, and backtesting. Useful for overall performance overview but can mix signals if you're comparing apples to oranges.
💵 Real Money Only
Focus exclusively on trades with actual capital at risk: live funded accounts, prop firm funded accounts, and margin accounts. Essential for understanding your "real trading" performance—how you actually perform when money is on the line.
🎓 Evaluation Only
Track only your prop firm evaluation accounts. Perfect for candidates grinding through multiple evals who want to see combined performance across all challenges.
🎮 Simulated Only
View performance from demo, paper, and strategy testing accounts. Great for strategy developers who want to separate backtesting results from live performance.
⏮️ Backtesting Only
Filter to show only historical backtesting trades. Essential for comparing backtested strategy performance against live results.
How Filters Change Everything
| Use Case | Filter To Use | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Passing prop firm evals | Evaluation Only | Focus on consistency metrics without noise from other accounts |
| Growing funded capital | Real Money Only | Track actual capital growth, not practice performance |
| Developing strategies | Simulated Only | Pure strategy performance without psychological pressure |
| Comparing execution quality | Real vs Simulated | Identify psychology gaps: sim 65% win rate vs live 45% = psychology problem |
Separate Signal from Noise
Let's say you're running 3 live evals, 1 funded account, and 2 sim accounts where you're testing new strategies. Looking at "all trades" might show you're barely profitable. But filter to "Real Money Only" and suddenly you see your funded account is crushing it—the noise from strategy testing was masking your real performance.
Filter Preferences are Persistent
🔄 Set Once, Apply Everywhere
Once you set your preferred filters, they apply across your entire journal:
- ✓ Stats bar shows filtered performance
- ✓ Dashboard reflects your filter choices
- ✓ Analytics and reports use your filter settings
- ✓ Calendar view respects filters
Change your filter anytime from the stats bar, and your entire journal updates instantly. No need to set filters separately on every page.
Use Cases for Different Trader Types
🎯 Prop Firm Traders
Filter to "Evaluation Only" to track progress across all active challenges.
Monitor daily P/L to avoid eval loss limits, and use weekly P/L to ensure you meet consistency requirements.
💎 Funded Traders
Use "Real Money Only" filter to focus exclusively on funded accounts.
Track overall P/L to monitor equity curve growth and monthly P/L to hit profit targets.
🔬 Strategy Developers
Filter to "Simulated Only" or "Backtesting Only".
Track strategy performance independent of live trading. Compare against "Real Money Only" stats to identify execution gaps.
🎭 Multi-Account Traders
Switch between filters throughout the day:
- • Morning: "All Accounts"
- • During trading: "Active Accounts Only"
- • Evening: "Real Money Only"
Tips for Maximum Value
Set Clear Benchmarks
Use your filtered stats to set and track specific goals:
- Today P/L: Daily loss limit or profit target
- Week P/L: Weekly consistency goals
- Month P/L: Monthly profit targets
Watch for Pattern Breaks
When your stats suddenly shift (e.g., you were green all week but suddenly red 3 days straight), it's a signal to review your trade journal and identify what changed.
Use Filters to Investigate
If your overall stats are poor, start filtering to isolate the problem:
- Is it specific to live trading? (Filter: Real Money Only)
- Is it a recent problem? (Check Today/Week P/L)
- Is it account-specific? (Filter: Active vs Inactive)
📱 Mobile-Optimized Stats
The stats bar is fully responsive and works perfectly on mobile devices. Check your stats between sessions, monitor progress on the go, or review performance while away from your trading desk.
