How good was this trade, based on process not outcome?

Check 6 process statements about your setup, stop, size, entry, exit, and consistency. The score only counts process points, never the dollar result, so a losing trade can still score well and a winning trade can still score poorly.

Why separate process from outcome?

A single trade's outcome is influenced by randomness as well as skill. Scoring process separately helps you tell the difference between a well-run trade that lost and a poorly-run trade that got lucky.

How good was this trade, based on my process, not the outcome?

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

How this is calculated

Each checked statement adds one point to your process score, out of 6 possible points. The dollar result you enter is shown for context only and never adds to or subtracts from the score.
5 to 6 points is Excellent, 3 to 4 is Good, 1 to 2 is Needs Work, and 0 is Poor process for this trade.
A high process score on a losing trade is still a well-run trade. A low process score on a winning trade got paid this time despite a broken process, which is worth noticing before it becomes a habit.
This tool does not know whether your setup itself is any good. It only checks whether you followed your own stated process on this specific trade.
