Performance

In trading, performance refers to the measured results of a strategy, portfolio, or individual trades over a specific period. It is typically evaluated using metrics such as total return, drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and win rate.

Example

A fund manager reports quarterly performance of +8.3%, outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 return of +5.1% over the same period.
