The Dashboard rewards a calm, sample-first read. Numbers move a lot when you have few trades, so build the habit of checking context before conclusions.
Read it in this order
1. Sample size and date range — how many trades, and over what period?
2. Win Rate and Wins / Losses — together, not in isolation
3. Total RR — your bottom line in risk terms
4. Growth Rate — only meaningful once you have a larger sample
Avoid the common traps
A high win rate on a tiny sample is noise, not edge
A great win rate with poor Total RR usually means your losers are too big
Filtering to one good week flatters everything — widen the range
