How to read the new Statistics page

Updated 11 October 2026. Statistics now has five sub-pages. The one called Symbols in the first version is Breakdown, and the Days view under Performance is now called Calendar. Names and descriptions here match the dashboard as it is today.

Statistics now sits as its own top-level item in the CFIN sidebar, separate from Performance. Inside it are five sub-pages: Breakdown, Risk, Drawdown, Reliability and Comparison. Each one answers a different question and carries a plain-language explanation of what it shows.

Finding your way around

1. Open Statistics from the sidebar.
2. Pick the sub-page that answers your question. Drawdown, for example, shows how deep and how long your past drawdowns were.
3. Use Comparison's link back to Overview's "Compare" shortcut to keep both views in sync.

What you need to do

If you previously found Statistics nested inside Performance, look for it as its own sidebar entry now. Each sub-page carries a plain-language explanation of what it's showing, so start there if a figure isn't clear straight away.

In detail

• Breakdown, Risk, Drawdown, Reliability and Comparison are the five sub-pages inside Statistics.
• The Comparison view links back to the "Compare" shortcut on your Overview page, so the two stay in sync on what you're comparing.
• Every figure carries a short explanation; if something still isn't clear, Support can walk you through it.

What each sub-page answers

• Breakdown: every instrument one account trades, with win rate, timeframe, hour and weekday. This page used to be called Symbols in the earlier version of this post.
• Risk: your risk exposure and the state of any recovery positions.
• Drawdown: drawdown history, peak-to-trough depth and recovery. For how much loss is left today, use the Drawdown budget card on Overview instead.
• Reliability: how dependable the record is. It shows the spread of your results, how your instruments move together, and what a different order of the same trades would have looked like.
• Comparison: your account measured against the CFIN fleet. It is the one page here whose subject includes other people's accounts, so it comes last.

How a few of the figures are worked out

Every figure has its definition in Learn › Explanations. These are the formulas behind the ones you will meet most often on these pages:

Win rate       = decided wins / (decided wins + decided losses) x 100
Profit factor  = gross profit / gross loss
Max drawdown   = (peak balance - trough balance) / peak balance x 100
Expectancy     = (win% x average win) - (loss% x average loss)

A small worked example, with made-up trades: 6 wins averaging 40 and 4 losses averaging 30. Win rate is 6 / 10 = 60%. Gross profit is 240, gross loss is 120, so profit factor is 2.0. Expectancy is (0.6 x 40) - (0.4 x 30) = 12 per trade. A balance that peaked at 10,000 and later fell to 9,000 had a drawdown of 10%. These numbers describe an invented sample. They are not a result. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Where to start

If you are new to these pages, Drawdown and Risk are usually the first worth reading, since they speak most directly to how much your account has fallen and what is exposed now. Comparison is most useful once you are managing more than one account. Breakdown and Reliability help if you are trying to understand how your results divide across instruments and across the order trades happened in.

If you are mainly interested in performance over calendar time rather than by instrument, the Calendar view under Performance is often a better starting point. If a sub-page shows an explanatory note instead of a chart, that usually means there is not yet enough activity on that account for the figure to be meaningful, rather than a technical fault.
