R: the amount risked on one trade. A win of +1R made back what was risked; −1R lost it.
EV (expectancy): the average result per trade, in R. Above zero means the strategy makes money on average. The plan expects about +0.15R.
Drawdown: how far the account is below its highest point, in %.

| Number | What it tells you | Good sign |
|---|---|---|
| Trades and verdict | How much evidence there is so far (top of the page). | Under 30 trades it says Provisional. That is normal, not a warning. |
| EV (avg net R) | Is there an edge? This is the most important number. | Above zero; near +0.15R is on plan. |
| Max drawdown and gate | Can it survive? The gate name shows the safety level; deeper drawdown means smaller risk, automatically. | Shallow drawdown; gate Growth. |
| Return vs benchmark | The chart: is the account growing on schedule? The shaded band is the normal range. | Line inside or above the band. |
| All-in cost | How much of the edge goes to trading costs. | About 0.05R a trade or less. |

What to ignore at first
- One day or one week. About 1 week in 4 ends red even with a real edge.
- Losing streaks under about 6 trades: they are normal at a 60% win rate.
- Slices with only a few trades (one pair, one weekday). Mostly luck.
