Reading a trading account page: Glance, Score, AI review and Execution
ConfirmedTrades team · 16 March 2026 · 7 min read
A tour of a ConfirmedTrades account page in the order a careful reader should take it: Glance hub, Score breakdown, AI strategy review and the Execution panel.
Start with the labels, not the chart
The top of every account page tells you three things before you scroll: the trust level (self-reported, live-synced or broker-verified), whether the trading-privileges check has passed, and the account type and currency. If the account is Demo, or the trust level is self-reported, adjust your expectations before reading anything else. Verified vs unverified explains what each label proves.
The Glance hub
Glance is the pinned card at the top of the page. It groups the numbers you would otherwise hunt for: performance and risk on one side, money and scale on the other, the growth chart in the middle, and a month calendar of returns. It is always shown, even when an owner hides other sections, and the money-and-scale figures are always real currency rather than percentages, so you can tell a $500 account from a $50,000 one at a glance.
The growth chart has several modes. The gain line is a time-weighted return, which means deposits and withdrawals do not inflate or deflate it; time-weighted return explained covers why that matters. Deposit and withdrawal markers are drawn on the chart so you can see when money moved. The calendar shows the return of each month, which is the fastest way to spot a record that is one lucky month surrounded by nothing.
The Score and its breakdown
The Score is a single 0–100 rating with a letter grade: A+ at 90 and above, A from 80, B from 70, C from 60, D from 50, and E below that. It is a composite of five parts, and the card shows each one so you can see where the points came from.
- Profitability, up to 25 points, driven by profit factor when expectancy is positive.
- Risk control, up to 25 points, mostly from maximum drawdown, with smaller parts for chance of ruin and recovery factor.
- Consistency, up to 20 points, from the share of profitable months, symbol concentration and downside-adjusted return.
- Longevity and activity, up to 15 points, from age, trade count and how recently the account traded.
- Trust, up to 15 points, from the verification level, reduced if integrity flags are present.
The AI strategy review
The AI review sits in the ConfirmedTrades Edge card alongside the Score. It is deliberately grounded: a set of deterministic checks run over the closed trades first and produce the strategy type and a list of risk flags, and the narrative can only talk about what those checks found. It cannot invent a claim the data does not support.
The flags to take seriously are the high-severity ones: rarely uses stop-losses, martingale-style lot increases after losses, and average loss far larger than average win. Watch-level flags include grid-style basket trading, heavy concentration in one symbol, and a deep maximum drawdown. Informational flags note a short track record or that the account is fully automated, meaning an Expert Advisor or trading robot placed every trade. The review also tells you what share of trades carried a stop-loss and a take-profit. Spotting fake EA results goes into what those patterns look like in practice.
The Execution panel
Execution shows how the account's broker actually filled it. Spread and slippage are shown in points per symbol, with a symbol picker that defaults to the most-traded instrument. Points, not dollars, are used so that a large account and a small one can be compared honestly; dollar figures only appear in the headline lumps.
Slippage is only captured where a price was set beforehand — pending-order entries and stop-loss or take-profit exits. Market entries have nothing to compare against, so they are excluded rather than guessed.
Why does this belong on a track-record page? Because a strategy that scalps a few points per trade lives or dies on spread and slippage. If the spread profile shows wide spreads at the hours the EA trades, or slippage is consistently against the trader, the same strategy at your broker may not survive. Broker cost audit explains how to read these numbers.
Further down the page
Below the Edge card you will find monthly returns with table, chart, calendar and summary views, a trade records table with whatever columns the owner chose to expose, per-EA breakdowns by magic number, and on deeper plans the Risk Lab with Monte Carlo, chance of ruin, value at risk and Kelly sizing. The table lists 5, 10, 25 or 50 rows at a time depending on the owner's choice, and you can page back through the entire record — the only thing that holds trades back is the owner's reveal delay, which never touches the verified totals.
If the owner has enabled it, a Custom Analysis button lets you filter the trades yourself, by date range, symbol, magic number, lot size, day and hour, and see every metric recomputed for that subset. It is the best tool on the page for answering "what if I only ran this on gold" or "what did the last six months look like on their own".
A reading checklist
- Trust label, trading-privileges check, account type and currency.
- Glance: real balance, drawdown, calendar of months.
- Score breakdown: where did the points come from?
- AI review: any high-severity flags?
- Execution: is the edge bigger than the costs?
- Custom Analysis: does the result survive when you remove the best month?
Do it in one place
On ConfirmedTrades, every published account shows its verification badges, an AI strategy analysis that flags martingale, grid and missing stop-losses, the full drawdown and risk stats, and execution costs per symbol — so you can vet a strategy before you trust it, or prove your own.
