Time-Based Analysis

Performance by hour, day of week, and month - find your good and bad windows.

Key takeaways

  • The Time Analysis widget breaks performance down by hour of day, day of week, day of month, and month.
  • Most traders are net losers in one or two specific time windows and net winners in the rest.
  • Cutting bad windows is often a bigger improvement than finding new setups.
  • Filter by flag to confirm hunches like "this setup works mornings only".

The Time Analysis widget on the Trading Dashboard breaks performance down by clock and calendar.

  • Hour of day - which trading hours are you actually profitable in?
  • Day of week - Monday vs. Friday performance often differs more than people expect.
  • Day of month / month - surfaces seasonal effects (earnings, expiration, holidays).

The most common takeaway: traders are net losers in one or two specific time windows (the open before they're settled, or late-day boredom trades) and net winners in the rest. Cutting the bad windows is often a bigger improvement than finding new setups.

Filter by flag to see how a single setup performs across times - useful for confirming "this strategy works mornings only" hunches.
