Win rate, profit factor, average winner vs average loser, P&L by setup, P&L by mistake, cumulative equity curve, daily/weekly/monthly performance breakdowns, and trade count statistics.

A customizable checklist that appears before each trading session. It helps you review yesterday, check the calendar, set your max loss, confirm your setups, and rate your mental state. It builds the routine that separates disciplined traders from gamblers.

When you log a trade, you tag it with one or more setups (like "VWAP bounce" or "opening range breakout"). ohYaaa then tracks each setup's win rate, total P&L, average P&L per trade, and ranking — showing you exactly which strategies make money.

Tag trades with mistakes (like "FOMO entry" or "moved stop loss"). ohYaaa calculates the total dollar cost of each mistake. When you see that FOMO entries cost you $2,400 last quarter, you stop making them.

Time-bound goals for building discipline: "No revenge trades for 5 days," "Hit daily target 3 days in a row," or custom challenges. They gamify the process of building good trading habits.
