What the initial stop field predicts. Open trades are marked to market throughout — reading the closed record alone flatters trades taken without a stop.

How much of the closed record rests on its single biggest winner

Every other closed trade, taken together, has lost money. Treat the headline win rate and profit factor with that in mind.

Every loss worse than 8%

The rulebook's widest stop. This list is what the stop field caps.

RMDRIP open
none −63.8% −₹15,040

Worst outcome with a stop written down: −18.6%. Without one: −63.8%. The stop does not improve the win rate or the average trade — it truncates this tail, and that is the whole of its contribution.

Why the closed record flatters the no-stop trades

The same split twice: closed trades only, then everything marked to market

Not stopping out does not reduce a loss — it moves the loss out of the statistics. Winners get sold and booked; losers stay open and stay unrealised, so they never join the closed record.

Did you write a stop down?

Trades opened each quarter, and the share that had one. A gap is a quarter with no trades.
