Analytics And Trade Log UI
The Analytics workspace is for live and recorded bot performance, while the Backtest workspace is for historical simulation results. In the current UI, Analytics has two main tabs: Metrics and Trade Log .
What this is
This article explains what the current Analytics page shows and when to use each tab.
When to use it
Use this article if:
- you want to inspect live bot performance
- you need to review recorded positions
- you want to export the trade log
- you are comparing live analytics with backtest reports
Step by step
Step 1: Use Metrics for performance summary
The Metrics tab summarizes:
- selected bot or all-bot scope
- total PnL and win rate
- current position context when available
- equity curve
- activity heatmap
- trade distribution
Metrics are useful for scanning performance, but they are not a replacement for opening individual position details.
Step 2: Use Trade Log for individual positions
The Trade Log tab lists recorded positions and lets you filter by date, symbol, and status.
Step 3: Export when you need offline analysis
Use the export action from the Trade Log tab when you need CSV-style analysis outside SteadyEdge.
Step 4: Keep Backtest separate
Backtest reports live in Backtest and show historical simulation data. Analytics shows operational/live records. Compare both, but do not treat them as the same dataset.
Common mistakes
- using Analytics to look for a backtest-only result
- judging a bot from total PnL without checking open positions
- exporting before applying the intended date and status filters
