Overview

TradeZella’s Reports: Playbook section helps you assess how your trading strategies (playbooks) contribute to your overall performance. By breaking down results by playbook, you can identify which approaches drive success, where adjustments are needed, and how to allocate your focus and capital more effectively.

This report gives you clarity on which setups deliver consistent results — and which may be holding you back.

Where to Access this

You can access the Reports: Playbook section from the TradeZella dashboard by navigating to the Reports menu and selecting Playbook. This opens the Playbook report page.

Available Tabs

  • Playbook: View and compare performance across your different playbooks (trading strategies).

What You’ll See in Each Tab

1. Performance Summary

A snapshot showing:

  • Best & Worst Performing Playbooks – The strategies with the highest and lowest net P&L.

  • Highest Win Rate Playbooks – The playbooks with the best win %.

These insights help you quickly spot which trading strategies contribute most to your success or need refinement.

2. Customizable Charts

Interactive charts let you visualize performance across playbooks. Plot up to three metrics side-by-side — for example, Net P&L, Avg Drawdown, Trade Count — and choose bar or line charts based on your preference.

These charts help you see how your strategies align with goals like profitability, consistency, and risk control.
