Average duration
Shows how long trades usually stayed open from entry to exit.
Average duration is the usual lifetime of a trade: from opening time to closing time. It turns many hold times into one simple number, like the average length of a meeting.
The metric helps identify trading style and behavior. Minutes often point to scalping or short intraday work, hours to intraday or swing decisions, and days to slower positions. The important part is whether the duration matches the strategy being shown.
There is no universal good duration. A common reading mistake is to compare a scalper and a swing trader by the same standard. Another mistake is to ignore one position held for weeks, because a single long trade can stretch the average.
Example: four trades lasted 30 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours and 4 hours. Total time is 8 hours, so average duration is 2 hours. If losing trades average 6 hours while winning trades average 1 hour, the account may be sitting in losers much longer than winners.
How we compute it
Trade duration is close_time minus open_time. For Discipline we separately calculate average durations for winning and losing trades and use their ratio.
