Your headline number in the Lab is not profit. It is the Decision Quality Score — a 0–100 grade of your process. Profit is not an input to it at all.
Why not score profit?
Because over a single session, profit is mostly noise. You can win with a reckless, unsized, stopless trade and lose with a textbook one. If the Lab rewarded the first, it would be teaching you to be reckless and calling it learning. So it grades the thing you actually control.
The three components
| Component | Weight | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Discipline | 40% | Stops on every trade, never widening one, no averaging down, no revenge entries, following your own plan. |
| Risk | 35% | Sizing each trade to about 1% of capital, keeping exposure sane, consistency of risk across trades. |
| Patience | 25% | Not overtrading, waiting for a reason to enter, letting winners run instead of snatching at them. |
Reading your score
Sessions are graded A, A−, B, C or D. Around 60 is the line the Lab treats as "good process". Above it, a losing session is still a good session. Below it, a profitable session gets told plainly that it was luck.
Per-trade report cards
Each trade also gets its own grade and a one-line note — "no stop — unbounded risk", "let a winner run (2.4R)", "stopped out — small planned loss", "held past your stop". R is your result measured in units of the risk you took: a 2R winner made twice what you were prepared to lose.
