Which Day of the Week Do I Trade Best?

See how your results change from Monday to Sunday.

Check My Best Days

The week has a rhythm that markets and traders both follow. Trading can be busier at the start of the week, quieter around weekends, and different again when big announcements land. You also have a rhythm of your own: the day you are fresh, the day you are tired, the day you trade between other commitments.

Because crypto trades every day, many people trade on all seven without ever asking whether the days are equal for them. They often are not. A weekend that feels relaxing might be the day you take bored, low-quality trades. A busy workday might be the day you rush.

Guessing is unreliable, since memory favors the dramatic days. Your history records the day of every trade, so the answer is a simple count: for each weekday, how many trades, what share won, and what you made or lost.

The analyzer does that grouping and compares the days. If one day is clearly profitable and another consistently loses, you will see it, with the trade counts behind each. If your results do not depend on the day, that is useful to know too.

Reading

A 60-point gap between the best and worst day

Illustrative numbers for a made-up account, shown so you know what a result looks like. They are not your data and not a benchmark.

How the days are compared

Seven days, entry time

Trades are grouped by the day they were opened, in UTC unless your file states a time zone.

A minimum per day

A day needs at least 8 trades to be compared, so one lucky Saturday cannot create a finding.

What counts as a difference

The best day profitable, the worst day losing, and win rates at least 15 points apart.

The hours as well

Your results by time of day are a separate question, covered in what time of day you trade best.

Frequently asked questions

Is the weekend worse for trading?

Liquidity and participation can change at weekends, but whether it is worse for you depends on how you trade. Your own history is a better guide than a general claim, which is why the comparison uses your trades.

Which time zone is the day based on?

UTC, unless your file states a time zone. If your exchange exports local time without a label, a trade near midnight can land on a neighboring day, so keep that in mind if the results look odd.

How many weeks of trades do I need?

Each day needs at least 8 trades, which usually means a couple of months of regular trading. With less history the analyzer shows your basic numbers and tells you a day comparison would rest on too little.

Which file should I upload?

A CSV where each row is one finished trade with its result: your exchange's closed positions or profit-and-loss history. It needs a close time and a result, or entry price, exit price, quantity and side. A list of individual order fills is not enough, because fills cannot be paired into trades without guessing.

Is my trade history stored?

The file is read in memory and is not saved. Only the result of the analysis is kept: for 7 days if you do not sign in, or until you delete it if you save it to your account. The analyzer never asks for exchange passwords or API keys.
