Pick a Y axis (metric)
Anything from trade counts to expectancy to duration stats; the full list is below. The chart title writes itself ("Expectancy R by Entry Hour"). - 4
Pick the chart type and save

Combinations worth stealing
- Expectancy R by Entry Hour : the hours that actually pay you.
- Profit Factor by Pair : concentrate risk where the edge is proven.
- R Std Dev by Session : measure consistency, not just outcomes.
- Avg Duration by Day of Week : catch the day you overstay losers.
- Taken % by Session : where does your discipline hold, and where does it slip?
Signed metrics read at a glance
Metrics that can go negative (Net R, Expectancy, Avg PnL...) color their bars by sign and show a zero reference line automatically.
