What your trades were worth

Edge Lab grades your individual trades as well as your behaviors. Each trade it can score gets an A, B, C or D for how well it was executed — and then it shows you what each of those grades actually earned you, or cost you.

These are not your behavior grades

Start here, because this is the most common mix-up. The report card says so on the card itself:

These grades score individual trades on how well they were executed — they're not the same as the A–F axis grades above.

Two different systems that happen to share an alphabet:

A trader can hold a B for risk control while still taking the occasional D-grade trade. The two aren't in conflict — they're describing different things.

Graded trades, not all trades

Everything in this section is scoped to the trades Edge Lab could grade. That's often a subset of everything you traded, because some trades don't give the analysis enough to judge fairly.

So when a bar shows 40% B grades, that's 40% of the trades that were graded that week — not 40% of everything you did. The wording on screen is careful about this throughout, and so should your reading of it be.

How your mix has shifted

The stacked bars show one week at a time, up to the last eight weeks, best grades first. Each bar fills the full width, so you're looking at proportions rather than volume.

The hint on screen is the short version of how to read it:

Each bar is one week's graded trades, best grades first. Read top to bottom: you want the green and blue growing.

That's the trend that matters. Your trade count going up isn't progress. The share of your trades earning an A or a B going up is.

What each grade earned you

Below the bars, a table breaks down the whole window by grade — how many trades, what share of the total, and the P&L each grade produced.

This is usually the most uncomfortable and most useful table in Edge Lab, because the pattern is nearly always the same: your A and B trades made money, and your C and D trades gave a chunk of it back.

When one grade is clearly the problem, Edge Lab calls it out directly:

Your D-grade trades cost you $3,240 across 47 trades. Cutting those is the fastest money you'll make.

That sentence is worth taking literally. You don't have to trade better to benefit from it — you have to trade less of one specific kind of trade. That's usually the easiest change available to any trader, and it doesn't require your strategy to improve at all.

Using it

• Find your D bucket first. If it's negative, that's money you're handing back for no return.
• Look at what those trades have in common — the full report expands each grade to the trades behind it, so you can see the setups, the times of day, and the sizing.
• Cross-check against your leak. If your biggest leak is overtrading and your D-grade bucket is deep in the red, those are the same finding seen from two directions — and that's a strong signal.

Where to go next

• Reading your grade card — the other grading system, and what each behavior means.
• Your biggest leak — the single habit costing you the most.
• The History tab — where this section lives, and what else is on the page.
