Does a low green-day percentage mean I'm a bad trader?

Not by itself. A trader with strict risk management can have more red days than one taking oversized risk who got lucky. Pair this with your trade expectancy and risk-per-trade numbers for a fuller picture.

Q: What percent of my trading days are actually profitable?

Log each trading day as green (profitable) or red (unprofitable), with an optional dollar P&L. This tracker keeps a running count and shows the percentage of your logged days that were green, compared against an optional target you set.

You don't need a better indicator. You need a process you'll actually follow at 9:31am.

How this is calculated

This tracker only exists in your browser tab for this session and resets when you close or reload the page. Log each day as it closes for the most accurate running percentage.
A "green day" is any day your account finished positive after all trades, fees, and other costs. A "red day" finished negative. Enter a dollar amount if you want average green and red day size tracked too, or leave it blank and log the day type only.
A high green-day percentage does not automatically mean good risk management, and a string of red days does not automatically mean bad trading. A trader taking small, controlled losses on plan can log more red days than someone risking too much per trade who happens to get lucky. Read this alongside your risk-per-trade and expectancy numbers, not by itself.
