Process metrics that matter more than win rate

Win rate feels satisfying because it is simple. It is also incomplete. A high win rate with poor reward-to-risk can still lose money.

Look instead at expectancy, average winner versus average loser, max drawdown, and how often you followed your rules.

Tagging trades by setup helps you see which patterns actually pay — not which ones feel good in the moment.

The goal is not a prettier dashboard. It is a clearer picture of what to keep doing and what to stop.
