When to Use This Widget

Use Trade Count to spot consistency problems quickly:

  • Falling counts may indicate missed setups or over-filtering.
  • Sudden spikes can indicate overtrading or impulsive entries.
  • Stable count with improving win rate usually signals better setup selection.

What to Review Weekly

  • Compare trade count with average risk per trade.
  • Compare count with net P&L to identify over-activity.
  • Pair this with Daily Performance and Win Rate widgets for context.

Common mistakes

  • Treating higher trade count as success without checking net P&L and average risk per trade.
  • Comparing counts across accounts without switching scope in switch accounts.
  • Using a monthly filter when reviewing intraday overtrading on expiry days.
  • Ignoring sudden spikes that coincide with revenge trading after a morning stop-out.

Pair trade count with win rate widget and daily performance widget before changing position sizing rules.
