Positive means following the rule left the Ghost better off. Skipping a winner counts as negative: rules cost money sometimes, and this view does not hide it.

Missed opportunities are not shown: this record has no planned-but-untaken setups, and the Ghost does not invent trades you never logged.

How the Ghost is simulated

Decision points are your recorded entries. The Ghost cannot invent trades you never considered.
Each decision uses only the Ghost's own realized results before that entry; nothing after the entry influences take/skip/size.
Entries fill at your recorded average entry price; resized orders are assumed to fill at the same price.
Stops fill at the stop (or the bar open on a gap) with 2 bps adverse slippage. Bars are 1-minute; within the entry and exit bars no trigger is assumed.
Commission $0.005/share, minimum $1 per order, applied to every Ghost order. Your actual P&L uses the fees you recorded.
The Ghost holds your original planned stop and ignores later stop moves.
No partial profit-taking.
Buying power 4× equity, starting equity $100,000. Futures use contract point values and are not limited by buying power (broker margin is not modelled); options use 100 shares per contract.
