What’s on the dashboard
The dashboard shows your performance across a selected time period (defaulting to the last 30 days). You can adjust the date range to look at any window you want.Charts
The top of the dashboard shows three visual summaries of your trading:- Cumulative P&L — A line chart tracking your running profit/loss over time, showing the overall trajectory of your account
- Trades per day — A bar chart showing how many trades you took each day, with your average trades per day overlaid so you can spot overtrading
- Daily profit — A bar chart of your daily P&L with your average profit per day marked, making it easy to see which days pulled their weight
Key metrics
Below the charts, four cards show your core performance numbers:| Metric | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Profit Factor | Gross profit divided by gross loss. Above 1.0 means you’re making more than you’re losing. Above 2.0 is strong |
| Consistency Score | How stable your win rate is over time — lower values mean more consistency. High consistency means your edge is reliable, not just a lucky streak |
| Sharpe Ratio | Your risk-adjusted returns. Compares average daily profit to the volatility of those returns, annualized. Above 1.0 is good; below 0 means you’re losing money for the risk taken |
| Max Drawdown | The largest peak-to-trough decline in your cumulative P&L during the selected period. Tells you the worst losing streak you experienced |
Day of week performance
The dashboard includes a breakdown of your P&L by day of the week. This shows which days tend to be your most profitable and which might be costing you — a quick way to spot patterns like “I consistently lose money on Fridays” without diving into the full time-of-day analysis.Recent trades
Below the metrics, you’ll see a table of your most recent closed trades showing the date and time, symbol, side (long or short), P&L, and assigned setup. Winning trades are highlighted in green, losing trades in red — giving you an instant visual read on your recent performance. You can click on any trade in the recent trades table to open its details, assign a setup, add tags, or enter a stop loss — the same editing flow available in the Calendar day view.Filtering your view
You can filter the dashboard by:- Date range — Last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 365 days
- Account — If you’re tracking multiple NinjaTrader accounts, use the account switcher in the sidebar to view one at a time
How to use the dashboard
The dashboard is designed for quick check-ins, not deep analysis. Open it after your trading session to see how the day went, or at the start of the week to review your recent trend. For deeper dives into what’s working and what isn’t, head to the analysis tools:Setup Analysis
