TradeZella now includes Zella Insights, a new way to spot trading patterns and behaviors that may not be obvious from raw numbers alone. Insights are automatically generated and fall into two categories:
Trade-level Insights → focus on individual trades
Day-level Insights → focus on your entire trading day
⚠️ This feature is currently in beta and available to a limited group of users. If you’d like early access, please reach out to our support team.
How to Access Zella Insights
You can view insights in three places:
Daily Journal Page
Go to your Daily Journal.
Click the Zella Insights icon (TradeZella logo).
You’ll see insights for that specific day.
Inside a Trade
Open any trade from your trade history.
Click the Zella Insights button (AI icon) to view insights tied to that trade.
Pro Tip: Filter by Insights
Open the Filters menu.
Select Zella Insights.
Choose a specific insight to see reports and results only for trades or days where that insight was triggered.
👉 For example, if you filter by Scale Out Insights, you’ll get a focused view of performance across all trades where you scaled out — making it easier to analyze how that behavior affects your results
Types of Insights
Zella Insights are divided into Trade-level and Day-level categories.
🔹 Trade-Level Insights
Insight name | Insight description |
drawdown exceed profit | You closed this trade in profit $500.35, but the drawdown reached -$1,000 – meaning you risked nearly as much (or more) than you made. That's a sign your R-multiple may be off. Try to aim for the industry standard of 1.5 - 2R+. |
drawdown vs profit positive | Your profit exceeded your drawdown by $600 in this trade. |
exceed average hold time | You held this trade for about 1 hour, longer than 75% of your winning trades. |
exceed average profit but closed below | This trade's peak profit was $500, above your average trade profit of $300 (based on trades before August 21, 2025 14:47). You closed at $250, leaving $250 on the table. |
green to break even | This trade was up $500 at its peak but ended near breakeven $0. You let a winning trade slip without locking in profits. |
green to red | You were up $100 on this trade, but ended up closing at a loss $500. |
loser long hold | This trade lasted about 2 hours, while half of your losing trades for the past 60 days lasted less than about 1 hour. It also ended in a larger-than-average loss. |
loss streak short gap | This trade followed a loss with a short gap of 30 seconds and also ended in a loss. Looks like revenge trading. |
maximize your profit (trade) | You aren't maximizing your profits for the trade and seem to be leaving profits on the table. At one point you were up 1000.0 for the day however closed at 500.0 giving away more than 100% of profits. |
most time in drawdown | This trade spent about 70% of its total duration in negative P&L — a sign that entries or exits may need review. |
no drawdown | Great entry - this trade never dipped into the red. That's a clean execution. |
not strong | You have finished green, but this trade is not a strong one. |
red to green | You turned this trade around. After dipping into a drawdown of $100, you closed with a solid profit of $500. |
scale in | This trade was opened in 2 separate entries, with an average entry of $433 and an exit at $431.54. Total time in trade: about 1 hour. |
scale out | You closed this trade in 2 parts, with an average exit at $431.54 and total Gross P&L of -$146. |
unusual volume high | Your trade volume (100,000.00) is higher than 75% of your trades over the past 60 days (75% of your trades had a volume below 20,000.00). |
🔹 Day-Level Insights
Insight name | Insight description |
average loss exceed average win | Although you had a high win rate for the day, it doesn't mean that your trading strategy is profitable. Your average loss is far greater than your average win, resulting in a losing day. |
deep in drawdown day | Most trades today spent over 50% of their time in red. Consider tightening entries or using early exit rules. |
flip flop day-negative | You ended the day red — and traded both long and short multiple times. This could point to a lack of game plan or clear directional bias. Try sticking to your conviction or waiting for higher-quality setups. |
flip flop day-positive | Nice green day! But you switched sides several times — long and short. Could you have caught the main move more cleanly in one direction? |
high conviction day | You placed just one trade today — and nailed it with 3.5R and $500 in profit. This was a high-conviction, high-precision setup. |
left money on table | You could've made $350 more today if you maximized your exits. Review your MAE/MFE stats to improve profit-taking. |
low efficiency day | You placed 3 trades today, but walked away with just $30. You made on average $100 per green day for the previous 60 days. Consider quality over quantity. |
maximize your profit (day) | You aren't maximizing your profits for the day. At one point you were up $100 however closed at $69.25, giving away more than 30.75% of profits. |
overconfidence | You increased your position size after several consecutive wins and therefore lost a lot. |
overtrading day | You placed 4 trades today — 100% over your 60-day average (2). Still ended in profit, but at what cost? |
patience paid off | You waited 90 minutes into the session to enter your first trade — and ended green. Your patience led to a solid $500 gain. |
perfect day | You executed cleanly — your trade was a winner, no drawdowns, no rushes. This is your gold standard! |
revenge cycle day | You entered 2 trades within 1 minute of a loss, and lost them. Take time to reset before re-entering. |
tilt session | You lost -$20, and the session shows signs of tilt — short trades, high frequency, fast reactions. Let's identify what triggered this behavior. |
unusual number of trades | We noticed you had 6 trades today and you usually average 2 trades when you have a Green Day. |
Summary
Zella Insights automatically highlight trading behaviors that can help you:
Spot risky habits like revenge trading or overtrading
Identify areas where you leave profits on the table
Recognize strong execution patterns to repeat
By using filters and reviewing insights regularly, you can quickly identify patterns in your performance and focus on areas for improvement.
