Market Behavior Reports

These reports are designed to show your trading performance broken out by what was occurring in the overall market that day. The reports use the selected market ETF (e.g. SPY) as a general proxy for the market as a whole. This help page will refer to SPY, but everything here is applicable regardless of which market proxy you choose.

All reports in this group are interactive on the Detailed and Compare tabs, meaning you can click on bars in a report to drill down further into the data. Depending on your subscription level, and the particular report you are viewing, not all stats may be available.

Charts may be displayed in either aggregate or average report mode; aggregate will display total P&L, while average will display average per-trade P&L.

Important Only closed trades are reflected in this report group.
