How to read our numbers
Bob explains
The numbers update daily. You don’t have to follow them, but it’s nice to understand what they mean. Below, in about a minute, what to look at and what not to read too much into.
Look at performance over the longer term
One week says little. Over enough weeks a losing week shows up by itself, and that is normal. What matters is performance over the longer term, not a single week.
Win rate is about how often, not how big
The win rate tells you how often the bot closed in profit, not the size of those wins or losses. Read it next to the average return.
A red week is part of it
A red week or an underwater position is drawdown: a temporary dip we account for in advance. It is not a problem and not a malfunction.
A streak is not a prediction
A winning streak is nice to see, but the current run says nothing about the week ahead. Earlier weeks don’t predict the future.
Past results are no guarantee for the future. Trading carries risk.
