Your Edge Score and Psychology Score

Two numbers sit at the top of your Edge Lab report: your Edge Score and your Psychology Score. Both run from 0 to 10 and are shown to one decimal place, like 7.6 / 10.

They're the summary of everything else on the page. The grade card tells you which behaviors are strong and weak; these two scores tell you where you stand overall on each half of the picture.

What each one measures

  • Edge Score — the statistical quality of your trading. Are you reading direction well, entering in line with that read, capturing what the move offered, controlling risk, and doing it consistently? This is the "does your strategy actually work" number.
  • Psychology Score — your discipline under pressure. Do you hold up after a loss, avoid chasing, keep your size and frequency stable through a session, and resist over-weighting whatever just happened? This is the "do you execute your strategy like you meant to" number.

A trader can be strong on one and weak on the other, and that combination is the most useful thing Edge Lab tells you. A good edge executed badly and a bad edge executed perfectly look identical on a P&L — they look nothing alike here.

They're levels, not weekly grades

Both scores are computed across your whole trading history, not just the last few days. They're a level, recomputed each night over everything you've done.

That's why they move slowly. A single excellent session won't jump your Edge Score a point, and one bad day won't sink it. As your history grows, each new day is a smaller share of the total — which is the point. The score is meant to describe how you trade, not how you traded yesterday.

If you want to see recent behaviour on its own, the History tab's weekly table breaks out your real week-by-week numbers. See The History tab.

"Read it as a first impression"

Early on you may see this note under a score:

OTIS wants more trades before it fully trusts this score — read it as a first impression.

That's a confidence flag, not a criticism. It means the analysis is working from a thin sample, and the score is likely to move as more of your trading comes in. Treat an early score as a direction, not a verdict — and expect it to settle down rather than wander once you've built up history.

The note disappears on its own. There's nothing to do about it except keep trading.

Grade coverage

Next to your scores you'll find a Grade coverage card, reading something like "of 6 axes measured" for each of the two domains, Edge and Psychology.

Here's how to read it. Edge Lab grades a set of specific behaviors in each domain, and it can only grade a behavior once it's seen enough of the right kind of trading to judge it fairly. Coverage tells you how many of the behaviors in that domain have enough data behind them so far.

  • Not every behavior needs the same amount of trading. Some are gradable almost immediately; others need a particular situation to come up before there's anything to judge.
  • An unmeasured behavior does not drag your score down. It's simply not counted yet. This matters enough that it has its own section in Reading your grade card.
  • Coverage fills in on its own as you trade. When every behavior in both domains is measured, the card says so: "Every axis is measured — your grade card is complete."

Full coverage also makes your scores more trustworthy, which is why the confidence note and the coverage card tend to resolve around the same time.

Watching them over time

The History tab charts both scores together, with your account milestones — funded, evaluation passed, payouts, breaches, resets — marked on the line.

The chart's vertical axis is always fixed at 0 to 10. It never rescales to fit your data. That's deliberate: it means a screenshot you take today and one you take next month are directly comparable, and a two-tenths wobble can't be made to look like a collapse by an axis that quietly zoomed in.
