  • How to Improve

The Health tab scores how you trade, apart from how much you made. One score is built from four pillars: risk discipline, consistency, strategy and emotional control.

The Health tab gives you a single score that captures the overall quality of your trading behavior. It goes beyond profit and loss to measure discipline, consistency, strategy execution, and emotional control. Think of it as a fitness tracker for your trading.

Health Score#

Your Health Score is a number from 0 to 100 that reflects the overall quality of your trading behavior. It is not about how much money you made. A trader who makes $10,000 in a reckless, undisciplined way will score lower than a trader who made $2,000 following a structured plan.

The score is broken into three tiers:

  • Healthy (70+): You are trading with discipline and consistency. Keep doing what you are doing.
  • Needs Attention (40 to 70): There are areas where your behavior is slipping. Check which pillar is dragging the score down.
  • Critical (below 40): Multiple aspects of your trading need work. Consider scaling down your size until the score recovers.

A good target to aim for is 75. That means you are doing well across all four pillars without needing perfection in any single one.

The score is recalculated every time a trade closes. It uses a rolling window of your recent trading activity, so it reflects your current behavior rather than your entire history. A bad month six months ago will not drag your score down today. The system also adapts to your personal baselines over time. What counts as "consistent" for a scalper taking 20 trades a day is very different from a swing trader taking 3 trades a week, and the scoring adjusts for that.

Pillar: Risk Discipline#

This is the most heavily weighted pillar, making up roughly 30% of your overall Health Score. It measures how well you stick to your own risk rules, the ones you set in your account settings.

The system considers several factors when scoring this pillar:

  • Whether you stay within your configured daily drawdown limits
  • How close you come to or breach your maximum drawdown threshold
  • Whether your position sizes stay within a reasonable range for your account
  • Whether you respect your configured maximum lot size

The impact of a violation depends on its severity. Slightly exceeding your daily drawdown once will have a minor effect, but blowing through your max drawdown limit will hit this pillar hard. Repeated small violations also add up. Three days in a row of slightly exceeding your risk rules will weigh more than a single moderate breach.

Over time, the system learns your normal risk patterns. If you typically risk 1% per trade and suddenly start risking 3%, that deviation is flagged even if 3% is objectively a reasonable risk level. It is the change in your behavior that matters, not just the absolute number.

This pillar is the most important one because risk management failures can end a trading career. A perfect strategy with poor risk discipline will eventually blow up. The weighting reflects that.

Pillar: Consistency#

This pillar makes up roughly 25% of your Health Score and measures how stable and predictable your trading behavior is from day to day and week to week.

The system considers factors including:

  • How regular your trade timing is (do you trade at similar times or randomly?)
  • How consistent your position sizes are (are they clustered or all over the place?)
  • How stable your trade frequency is (similar number of trades per session or huge swings?)
  • How smooth your equity curve is (steady growth or wild zigzags?)

Erratic behavior is the enemy of this pillar. If you trade 0.01 lots on Monday, 2.0 lots on Tuesday, skip Wednesday entirely, then take 40 trades on Thursday, the system will score your consistency poorly regardless of whether you made money. Professional trading looks the same from one day to the next. The system is measuring whether your process is repeatable.

Equity curve smoothness has a moderate impact here. A steadily rising curve with small drawdowns scores much better than one that spikes up and crashes down, even if both end at the same profit. This is because a smooth curve indicates a process you can sustain long term, while a volatile curve often indicates luck or over-leveraging.

Pillar: Strategy#

This pillar contributes roughly 25% of your Health Score and evaluates the quality of your trading outcomes and how well you execute your plan.

Factors that feed into this pillar include:

  • The trend of your profit factor (is it improving, stable, or deteriorating?)
  • Win rate stability over recent periods (consistent or wildly fluctuating?)
  • How well your actual reward-to-risk matches your intended targets
  • Whether your planned entries and exits align with your actual results

This pillar rewards traders who execute their plan consistently, even if the raw numbers are average. A trader with a stable 1.3 profit factor and consistent 48% win rate will score higher than one whose profit factor swings between 0.5 and 3.0 from week to week. The reason is simple: a stable, modest edge is something you can build a career on. An edge that appears and disappears is much harder to trust or scale.

The trend of your metrics matters more than the absolute values. If your profit factor was 1.1 last month and 1.3 this month, the improvement is recognized. If it was 2.0 and dropped to 1.2, the deterioration is noted even though 1.2 is still technically profitable.

Pillar: Emotional Control#

This pillar makes up roughly 20% of your Health Score and is the hardest one to score well on. It measures emotional discipline by looking at patterns in your behavior that typically indicate emotional decision-making.

The system watches for signals including:

  • Revenge trading: opening a new trade very quickly after closing a loser, especially if the new trade is larger
  • Overtrading frequency: significantly more trades in a session than your normal baseline
  • Behavior after losses: whether you increase size after a losing trade or losing day
  • Weekend gap risk: holding large positions through market close on Friday
  • Loss streak response: how your behavior changes during a losing streak (size, frequency, selectivity)

This pillar is heavily influenced by what you do after losing. Most traders handle wins just fine. It is the response to losses that separates disciplined traders from emotional ones. If you lose three trades in a row and your next trade is double the size, that pattern will significantly lower your emotional score.

Weekend gap risk is also factored in. Holding a heavily leveraged position over the weekend when markets are closed is considered a sign of poor risk awareness because a gap on Monday open can blow past your stop loss entirely.

The emotional pillar requires a meaningful number of trades to produce a reliable score. With fewer than 20 closed trades, the system does not have enough data to detect behavioral patterns, so it defaults to a neutral baseline.

Health Over Time#

A line chart showing your Health Score over the past 30 days. Two horizontal reference lines are drawn: one at 70 (the boundary between Healthy and Needs Attention) and one at 40 (the boundary between Needs Attention and Critical).

What to look for in the trend:

  • Steady above 70: Your trading habits are solid and you are maintaining discipline over time.
  • Gradual decline: Something is slipping. Check which pillar is dropping and address it before it gets worse.
  • Sharp drop: Usually caused by a single bad day where you broke multiple rules. The score will recover if you return to normal behavior.
  • Recovery trend: Score climbing back from a dip. This is a good sign and means the changes you made are working.
  • Flat below 50: Persistent issues that need structural changes, not just one good day.

The 30-day window means a bad week will show up clearly, but it will also fade out after a month if you correct the behavior. The system does not punish you forever for one rough patch.

Trading Habits#

The habits grid shows individual trading behaviors tracked by the Health system. Each habit displays a colored dot indicator and a score to give you a quick status check:

  • Green dot: This habit is in good shape. You are consistently doing the right thing here.
  • Amber dot: This habit needs attention. You are not in danger, but the trend is not great.
  • Red dot: This habit is actively hurting your score. Focus here first.

Habits are derived from the same data that feeds into the four pillars, broken down into specific, actionable behaviors. While the pillars give you the big picture, habits show you exactly which behaviors to focus on. For example, the Risk Discipline pillar might be at 60, and the habits grid will show you that "Position Sizing Consistency" is red while "Daily DD Compliance" is green. That tells you exactly where the problem is.

Focus on turning one red habit green at a time rather than trying to fix everything at once. Small, focused improvements compound over time and are easier to maintain than sweeping changes.

How to Improve#

At the bottom of the Health tab, Oathra generates a numbered list of actionable suggestions based on your current lowest-scoring pillar. These are not generic tips. They are specific to your data and update dynamically as your scores change.

For example, if your Emotional Control pillar is at 45, you might see suggestions like:

  1. You opened 3 trades within 60 seconds of closing a loser this week. Add a 5-minute cool-down rule after any loss.
  2. Your position size increased by an average of 40% after losing trades. Keep your size constant regardless of the previous result.
  3. You took 12 more trades than your weekly average. Review your entry criteria and only take A-grade setups.

As you act on these suggestions and your behavior changes, the recommendations update to reflect your new lowest area. Once Emotional Control improves, the system might shift focus to Consistency or Strategy depending on which pillar is now weakest.

The goal is not to reach a perfect 100. That is unrealistic for any active trader. The goal is to stay above 70 consistently and to catch downward trends early before they spiral into bigger problems. Treat the Health Score as a compass, not a report card. It points you toward what to work on next.
