What it is

Trade Analytics is the deep view of your actual trading behavior. Every chart and table is computed from your real fills via the userActivity aggregator — volume, timing patterns, trade-size distribution, per-strategy and per-pair performance. No estimated P&L (that requires the cost-basis engine, separately).

How to think about it

If the Dashboard is your portfolio at a glance, Trade Analytics is the microscope. Use it to spot when you trade, what you over-concentrate on, and which strategies actually drive your volume.

Step-by-step

  1. Pick a time range (top-right)

    7d / 30d / 60d / 90d / All. Every section on the page recomputes from the selected window — KPIs, cumulative volume chart, heatmap, histogram, and the per-strategy / per-pair tables.

  2. KPI row (6 cards)

    Total Trades, Total Volume, Avg Trade Size, Active Days (in the window), Best Day (date + USD), Longest Streak (consecutive active days). These describe behavior, not P&L.

  3. P&L banner

    A yellow banner notes that realized + unrealized P&L, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, and max drawdown require accurate cost-basis accounting and live separately in the cost-basis engine (in flight). The page shows only metrics that can be computed reliably without imputed prices.

  4. Cumulative Volume chart

    Running total of USD volume over the selected window. Use this to spot months/weeks where you traded heavily vs. quiet stretches. Hover any point for daily volume + trade count.

  5. Time-of-Day Heatmap (7 × 24 grid)

    Day-of-week × hour-of-day matrix showing when you actually trade (UTC). Darker amber = more trades. Use this to discover your real activity pattern — are you a weekend trader? Asia-session trader? Late-night impulse trader?

  6. Trade Size Distribution histogram

    How your trades distribute across size buckets. A right-skewed shape (mostly small with one big tail) is typical for active traders. A bimodal shape (small + large clusters) usually means you have two distinct strategies running.

  7. Performance by Strategy table

    Per-surface breakdown — CEX, Smart Trade, Algo (TWAP/VWAP/Iceberg/Bracket), DEX Swap, DEX Limit, Futures. Trades + USD volume per source. Use it to see which surface dominates your activity.

  8. Per-pair performance table (sortable)

    Every symbol you traded with trade count and USD volume. Toggle the sort between Volume and Trades. Useful for confirming you're not over-concentrating into one pair.

Tips & pitfalls

  • The Time-of-Day Heatmap is UTC. If you trade 9 PM EST, that shows up at 02:00 in the heatmap — adjust mentally.
  • A best day that's 5×+ larger than your typical day is worth investigating — was it a planned large trade or impulse?
  • If your Longest Streak ever broke at exactly N days, ask why — vacations, market events, or burnout patterns are visible here.
  • When the per-pair table shows >60% volume in one symbol, your portfolio is effectively a single-asset bet. Risk Intelligence will flag this.
  • Per-strategy table empty? You haven't executed on that surface yet. Connection or open orders don't count — only filled trades.
