What is Strategy Scorecard?

A strategy scorecard is a one-page summary of the core performance metrics for a specific trading strategy — including win rate, expectancy, profit factor, max drawdown, average R-multiple, and sample count. It enables side-by-side comparison of multiple strategies and quick identification of which deserve more capital allocation.

Indian market context (NSE)

Reference levels: Nifty 50 at 24,300, Reliance Industries at ₹1,300, Bank Nifty futures at 55,000 (lot size 30). Examples below show how Strategy Scorecard shows up on Indian index, equity, and futures books — update to live quotes in your journal.

Bank Nifty futures perspective

Strategy Scorecard with Bank Nifty futures at 55,000 — respect lot size 30 and quarterly vs monthly contract rules on NSE.

FAQ

Does TradeLyser have a built-in strategy scorecard?

Yes — TradeLyser's Strategy Board shows a scorecard for each strategy you define: win rate, average R, expectancy, max drawdown, and profit factor, filterable by any date range. You can pin your top strategies to the dashboard for quick review.

How do I decide which strategies to focus on using a scorecard?

Rank strategies by expectancy and filter to those with 30+ trades. Any strategy with negative expectancy after 50+ trades should be paused or refined. Any strategy with expectancy above 0.3R and 50%+ win rate deserves increased allocation. Use the scorecard as an objective capital allocation tool, not a gut-feel exercise.
