Time tab

Performance broken down by time of day, trading session, and day of week.

The Time tab is one of the four tabs on the Report page. It groups your auto-synced trades by when they happened — calendar day, hour of day, 6-hour session, and weekday — and shows how P&L is distributed across those time buckets.

The Time tab is a paid feature. On the Free plan the tab shows a short preview and then a blurred overlay with an upgrade prompt. See Plans & billing for what each plan includes.

All times are UTC. The four charts read from the same filtered dataset as the rest of the Report page, so any change to the filter banner recalculates every chart at once. See Filters for the shared controls.

Time tab: P&L by day of week and by trading session
The Time tab — performance by day of week and by trading session.

Read the day-performance overview

The Day Performance chart is a semi-donut (180-degree arc) with three segments — Worst Day (red), Avg Day (gray), and Best Day (green). Each segment is sized by the absolute magnitude of its value, and the legend below the chart lists all three.

Hover (desktop) or tap (mobile) a segment for its detail:

Segment
Tooltip shows

Worst Day

Worst day P&L + worst hour

Avg Day

Avg day P&L + number of trading days

Best Day

Best day P&L + best hour

  • Best Day / Worst Day — the highest and lowest single-day P&L totals across the filtered period. A day's P&L is the sum of all trades closed on that UTC calendar day.

  • Avg Day — total P&L divided by the count of unique UTC days that had at least one trade.

  • Best Hour / Worst Hour — the highest and lowest hour-of-day P&L, summed across every day in the period (0–23 UTC).

Compare trading sessions

The Session Performance chart splits the 24-hour UTC clock into four 6-hour blocks and plots one bar per session. Bars are green when the session's total P&L is at or above zero and red when it is below, measured against a reference line at zero.

Each trade is assigned to a session by the UTC hour of its timestamp. All four bars always appear; a session with no trades in the filtered range shows a bar at zero. The tooltip breaks the session down into five fields:

  • Total P&L — sum of trade P&L in the session

  • P&L % — total P&L over average account balance, times 100

  • Avg P&L — total P&L divided by trade count

  • Win Rate — trades with P&L above zero, as a share of all trades in the session

  • Trades — wins / losses / total (for example, 8W / 5L / 13T)

Break performance down by weekday

The Profit by Day of Week chart is a horizontal bar chart, one bar per weekday (Sunday through Saturday), grouped by the UTC day of each trade. Bars are green at or above zero and red below, against a reference line at zero. All seven bars always render; a weekday with no trades shows a bar at zero and a tooltip reading 0 trades.

Correlate duration with P&L

The Duration vs Profit chart is a scatter plot. Each point is one trade: the X-axis is trade duration in minutes and the Y-axis is the trade's P&L in the selected display mode. Points are split into two series — Buy (green) and Sell (red) — shown in the legend.

  • The X-axis scales automatically to the data; there is no maximum duration cap, so a long hold extends the axis to fit.

  • Zero-duration trades plot at x=0. Negative durations (a data artefact) are capped to x=0.

  • A point's tooltip shows symbol, P&L, duration, and side — plus P&L % when the chart is in percent mode.

Switch display modes

Each of the four charts has its own display mode selector: USD, % P&L, and Count. The selectors are independent per chart, single-select, and reset to USD when you leave and re-enter the tab — they are not saved.

Mode
What the chart measures

USD

Signed P&L in US dollars

% P&L

P&L as a percentage of average account balance

Count

Whole number of trades, no decimals

Percent modes divide by an account-balance snapshot. When a trade has no balance recorded, Trada falls back to the average balance of trades that do; if none do, it uses a default of 100,000. Figures shown as percentages are approximate for that reason. See Formulas for the exact definitions.

Handle empty and edge cases

  • No trades match your filters — all four charts hide and the tab shows the empty-state message. The display-mode selectors stay visible but disabled.

  • Trades in one bucket only — the other buckets still render at zero rather than disappearing (all four session bars, all seven weekday bars).

  • A single trade — each chart renders its one data point: one donut segment, one session bar, one weekday bar, one scatter point.

  • No loading spinner — when filters change, values update in place and the charts animate to the new figures; there is no skeleton or spinner.

The Time tab is a read-only view of trades that are auto-synced from your connected accounts. There is no manual trade entry or editing here — to change what feeds these charts, connect or manage accounts and adjust the filter banner.
