What your data is hiding from you.
Five patterns you can't see in a spreadsheet. The kind of read that changes how you trade tomorrow.
Your wins keep going without you.
You exit at your target at +0.8R thinking you nailed it. Over your last 200 trades, the median post-exit move is +0.75R favorable — every typical winner had that much still waiting after you left. 42% of your trades kept going 1R or more after you exited.
Trade Extension shows when, where, and on which patterns this happens. The fix isn't "hold longer" — it's "switch from 1:2 Fixed to Scale + Runner on MOR setups in the open hour." Concrete swap. Trackable result.
Your stops keep getting touched seconds before the reversal.
You stopped out at -1R for $200. The trade hit your target 12 minutes later. Feels like bad luck — until Loser Asymmetry shows 100% of your losers ran in your favor first, then reversed into your stop. That's not variance — it's a textbook exit problem: your entries are timed right, what you do after isn't.
Stop/Target Calibration tells you whether your stops are right-sized for your setups, or just convenient. The R-multiple distribution shows whether your losses are clustered at exactly -1R (you're cutting too soon) or scattered (your setups are inconsistent).
Your account survival isn't a feeling. It's math.
Apex 100K eval. +$3,600 toward a $6,000 target, $3,000 trailing intraday DD, buffer reading 100% — every gauge green. Feels comfortable. But run thousands of forward paths against your real daily P&L distribution and the Risk of Ruin lands at 39.4%. Not vibes. Math.
The drawdown buffer gauge updates live as you trade — actual buffer remaining, not a manual field you forgot to update. Position-size gauge shows how close you are to the firm's max contracts limit. Profit-target gauge shows percent to pass. Trading-days gauge tracks minimum requirements. Every prop firm constraint, surfaced.
Some of your edge isn't where you think it is.
You tag VWAP reclaim on every setup because it "feels right." Over 80 trades, it correlates with 68% WR and +0.7R expectancy — your strongest confluence. But "Counter-trend fade" — the one you trust on gut — sits at 32% WR over 28 trades. Your bias is your drag.
Single-confluence ranking surfaces your real edge. Stacking analysis shows whether layering confluences actually helps (yours: WR climbs from 38% → 54% → 66% as you stack). The pairwise heatmap names the combinations that boost each pattern most. Setup grading you can defend with numbers.
Your exit model doesn't fit every setup.
Same MOR setup. Two exit strategies. 1:2 Fixed RR leaves +2.3R on the table per trade. Scale + Runner leaves +0.6R. That's $340/trade you're forfeiting because the strategy doesn't fit the pattern — not because of "discipline."
The Pattern × Exit Model heatmap shows which exit strategy fits which setup, in median R, across your real trading. Make the swap. Track the result. Patterns and Exit Models are first-class catalogs in TRADECOACH — co-tag every trade, analyze the pairing automatically. Stop guessing at exits.
