There are so many things that one would be interested in.

Here are a few:

1) Percentage of winners long an short
2) Length of time in winning/losing trades
3) Percentage winners/losers at given time of the day
4) TICK, TRIN, TIKI and spoos/PREM at time of trade, perhaps an Index
5) Reason for trade
6) Make sure you have a way to have a set of trades be logically tagged as one trade. For example, basket traders and Pair traders wouldn't necessarily care about each individually, but the logical trade as a whole. Also allow a reason for trade (5 above) be applicable to a "basket" trade.

There are literally a dozens of things that would be useful...

i agree, tracking your trade statistics is (obviously) useful. i was hoping we could get a thread going with a list of statistics to track. maybe there are some that are easily overlooked as well as some clever statistics most of us haven't thought of.
 
A collerational study between the weather in Chicago and New York compared to what the stock market averages did those days. I think there might be a weak correlation between the two.
