We are now Perfiltrade (formerly TradingProLab). Your account, your data and your free trial are unchanged; you may need to log in again.

how it works

From chart to decision, with data, in seven stages

What each part of Perfiltrade does, explained with everyday examples, and what you can expect from it. No signals, no promises.

What Perfiltrade is, in plain words

Perfiltrade shows you what the price of a future (ES, NQ, gold, oil, currencies...) does according to the day's structure, and how many times the same thing happened in the past.

It works like an almanac for the market: instead of asking yourself "I think it goes up today", you look at how many times, over 16+ years of data, a day like today ended up rising, and with what sample.

It gives you no buy or sell signals, does not connect to your broker and does not place orders. It helps you decide with data and review how you decide.

1. Understand the language

What do IB, VAH, POC and base rate mean?

in plain words

Before looking at numbers you need to know how to read them. The Initial Balance (IB) is the range of the session's first hour; the Value Area is the zone where most of the trading took place; the base rate is the historical frequency of something happening.

apples and oranges

Think of a market fair: the first hour tells you where buyers and sellers gather. If prices later leave that area, something changed; if they come back, the fair is still balanced.

  • Academy

    Short 5-minute lessons on Market Profile and the IB.

    Comunidad
  • Tutorial

    Every tool explained, with when to use it.

    Comunidad

What to expect: By the end you understand the words the rest of the platform uses.

What it is not: It is not a course to make you profitable; it is the vocabulary to read the statistics.

2. See today

What is the market doing right now?

in plain words

A panel with the day's bias (bullish, bearish or ranging) for 25 instruments, based on where price sits relative to the Initial Balance, plus a chart with the structure drawn on it.

apples and oranges

It is an airport board: it does not decide where you travel, but it shows at a glance which flights are leaving, which are delayed and which are cancelled.

  • Today

    Events, historical bias and probabilities in a single view.

    Comunidad
  • Screener

    The day's bias per instrument.

  • Chart Reading

    Candles with the IB, VAH/POC/VAL and the TPO profile on top.

    Trader

What to expect: In under a minute you know which instruments have something happening and where price sits relative to the structure.

What it is not: Prices may be delayed: to execute, always verify on your platform.

3. Ask the past

How many times has this happened before, and how much does that sample weigh?

in plain words

Over 100 report types across 30 instruments: gaps, IB breakouts, retracements, overnight sessions, weekdays. Every figure comes with its n (how many cases) so you know how much to trust it.

apples and oranges

It is like reading a team's record before betting: it does not say who wins today, it says what percentage of home games they won and how many games that percentage is based on.

  • Reports

    The full catalog of statistics per instrument.

    Trader
  • Discovery

    Ranks the patterns with the most historical edge.

    Trader
  • Bias Explorer

    Filter by event, weekday and range.

    Trader
  • Seasonality and Correlations

    What usually happens in each season of the year and across markets.

    Trader

What to expect: You go from 'I think' to 'historically 62% of the time, over 800 cases'.

What it is not: A past probability is not a promise: a 60% loses 4 times out of 10.

4. Look at the context

What else is going on around it?

in plain words

Positioning of large participants (COT, 17 instruments), an events calendar and a plain-language market summary to start the day.

apples and oranges

Before going out sailing you check the forecast and the state of the sea: it does not change your destination, but it changes how warmly you dress.

  • Daily Briefing

    A summary of the day built from the platform's data.

    Trader
  • COT

    How commercials and speculators are positioned.

    Trader
  • Calendar

    Economic events that move price.

    Comunidad

What to expect: You avoid trading blind on a big data day or against extreme positioning.

What it is not: The COT is published with a weekly lag: it is background context, not timing.

5. Ask in your own language

Can I query all of this by chatting?

in plain words

Cerebro AI answers questions using the platform's real data and shows where each figure came from, instead of making it up.

apples and oranges

It is an assistant with every report open in front of it: you ask 'what happens on Mondays with the ES gap?' and it answers with the figure and its sample.

  • Cerebro AI

    Natural-language questions about the portal's data.

    Trader

What to expect: You save time searching across reports and get an answer with its limits.

What it is not: It is data analysis, not an investment recommendation.

6. Test an idea before risking anything

Would my idea have worked, or was it luck?

in plain words

The Backtest Lab takes a setup's historical trades and reshuffles them thousands of times (Monte Carlo) to separate what is robust from what depended on order. It also splits history in two: train on one part, test on the other. For ES and NQ it includes a minute-by-minute backtest of 4H trend, Fibonacci and structure break.

apples and oranges

It is like testing a recipe several times with different ingredients: if it only turns out well one day, it was luck; if it turns out well almost always, it starts to be a recipe.

  • Backtest Lab

    Monte Carlo, validation, funded accounts and 4H + Fibonacci structure.

    Pro

What to expect: Sometimes the result will be 'this shows no edge'. Knowing that before risking money is also a valuable result.

What it is not: A backtest does not guarantee future results and does not include all of your broker's real costs.

7. Look after your process

Am I trading the way I said I would?

in plain words

The Journal stores your trades with your emotional state and whether you followed your plan, and compares them with the historical data for the same setup. The risk calculator tells you how many contracts fit your stop.

apples and oranges

It is a coach's notebook: it does not play for you, but it shows in which games you lose your composure (for instance, after a loss) and what it costs you.

What to expect: Within weeks you see your own patterns: hours, setups and emotional states where you win or lose.

What it is not: It does not place orders or connect to your broker; you log or import.

The real potential, without makeup

What you can gain

  • Deciding with historical frequencies and their sample, instead of intuition or a chart someone shared on social media.
  • Saving time: a daily bias, a statistic or an answer in seconds instead of building spreadsheets.
  • Discovering your own process mistakes with the Journal, which often weighs more than the setup.
  • Discarding ideas with no edge before risking real money.

What it does not do or promise

  • There are no buy or sell signals or investment recommendations.
  • It does not guarantee or promise profitability: trading carries risk of loss.
  • It does not place orders or connect to brokers.
  • Live data may be delayed; always verify on your platform.
