Reports & Analytics Guide

Six ways to look at the same trade history — pick the view that answers the question you actually have.

8 min read

Your journal is the raw material — every broker-confirmed fill on every connected account. Reports is where that raw material turns into something you can act on. MimikTrader organizes reporting into six modes, each built around a different question. This is a Pro plan feature.

The Six Report Modes

Performance

The core numbers view: win rate, profit factor, average win/loss, expectancy, and the rest of your standard KPIs computed over whatever date range and account filter you set. This is where you start if the question is simply "how am I actually doing" — it's the least opinionated view and the one that maps most directly onto the raw trade list.

Overview

A summary dashboard that pulls the headline numbers — P&L, trade count, win rate, current streak — into one screen along with the Mimik Score. Use this as your daily or weekly check-in rather than for deep analysis; it's built for a fast read, not a drill-down.

Compare

Puts two selections side by side — two accounts, two strategies, two date ranges — so you can see the delta directly instead of holding two separate reports in your head. This is the most useful view for a copier setup specifically: compare a leader account against a follower running a different sizing multiplier, or compare this month's results against last month's on the same account.

Calendar

A P&L calendar showing daily results across the month, with color-coded green/red days so you can spot patterns in when you trade well and when you don't. Paired with month-level consistency — the ratio of green days to total trading days — the calendar view is the fastest way to answer "was this a good month" without opening a single trade.

Insights

Breaks performance down by session and time-of-day, and by trade duration, to surface edges you might not notice trade-by-trade. If your morning session consistently outperforms your afternoon session, or your quick scalps outperform trades you hold longer, Insights is where that pattern becomes visible instead of buried across hundreds of individual rows.

Risk

Focused on drawdown and risk-relevant metrics — how close you've run to your configured limits, how deep your worst drawdowns have gone, and how you've recovered from them. This view reads alongside your actual risk settings (see Risk Management Overview) rather than replacing them — Reports shows you the history, your risk configuration is what protects the account going forward.

KPI Definitions

The reports lean on a handful of standard trading metrics. Rather than redefine them here, MimikTrader's glossary has a full writeup of each:

  • Profit Factor — gross profit divided by gross loss.
  • Expectancy — the average amount you can expect to win or lose per trade.
  • Win Rate — the percentage of trades that closed profitable.
  • Max Drawdown — the largest peak-to-trough decline in account equity.

Strategy Scorecards

If you've assigned strategies to your trades in the journal, Reports rolls each strategy's trades up into its own scorecard — win rate, profit factor, and average win/loss computed independently per strategy. This is the fastest way to find out whether a setup you believe in actually holds up across your full trade history, rather than the last few trades you happen to remember.

Session, Time-of-Day, and Duration Analysis

Beyond strategy, the Insights view slices your trade history by two other dimensions that often reveal an edge traders don't consciously notice:

  • Session / time-of-day: Performance bucketed by when the trade happened, so you can see if you're consistently better in one part of the trading day than another.
  • Trade duration: Performance bucketed by how long a trade was held, from quick scalps to multi-hour swings, so you can see whether your results actually favor one holding period over another.

The Mimik Score, Explained Honestly

The Mimik Score is a single 0–100 number meant to summarize overall trading quality at a glance. It's a composite: MimikTrader computes six separate performance axes — win rate, profit factor, average win/loss, recovery from drawdown, drawdown severity, and day-to-day consistency — normalizes each one onto the same 0–1 scale, and averages them together into the final score.

No single axis dominates the score, which is deliberate: a trader with a high win rate but terrible risk-reward won't automatically score well, and a trader with a strong profit factor but a brutal drawdown history won't either. The score rewards being solid across all six dimensions rather than excellent at just one.

Note
Treat the Mimik Score as a trend to watch over time, not a single number to optimize directly. A rising score generally means your overall trading quality is improving across the board; a falling score is worth digging into with the Performance and Risk views to see which specific axis moved.

Getting the Most Out of Reports

Reports are built entirely from your journal's broker-reconciled trade history, so the same account and date filters apply across every report mode. If a number in a report looks inconsistent with what you expect, check the account filter first — it's the most common source of confusion — and see Journal Numbers Look Wrong? for the rest of the troubleshooting steps.
