## Key Metrics Explained

| Metric                  | What it means                                                                  |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **P\&L**                | Profit and Loss — total gains minus total losses for the period.               |
| **Win Rate**            | Percentage of trades that closed in profit.                                    |
| **Drawdown**            | The largest peak-to-trough decline in account value — key for risk assessment. |
| **Total Trades**        | Number of trades executed; higher volume = more reliable stats.                |
| **Avg. Trade Duration** | How long positions are held on average.                                        |
| **Sharpe Ratio**        | Risk-adjusted return — higher is better.                                       |

## Using Analytics to Improve

<Tip>
  Use account analytics to compare the performance of different algorithms on different accounts. If one algorithm consistently underperforms on a specific broker, consider pausing it and trying another.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Monitor **drawdown** closely on funded prop accounts. Most prop firms have a maximum drawdown rule — breaching it will get your account flagged.
</Tip>

* **Compare accounts** — Side-by-side comparison of algorithms running across different brokers.
* **Identify losing periods** — Use the calendar view to spot days or weeks with poor performance.
* **Adjust risk** — If analytics show high drawdown, reduce position sizing or algorithm risk settings.
* **Combine with the Calendar** — Check the [Economic Calendar](/calendar) to correlate losses with major market events.
