@sztomi I didn't catch that this wasn't the feedback issue linked in the experimental section before it was merged. Would you be able to put up another PR to change it to this issue please?

I tried this out and really like the metric - it seems like a good parameter to put a number on the health of your situation, without depending on absolute numbers in accounts.

Would it be an idea, to implement a slightly more sophisticated approach for the Improving/Declining/Stable metric? I looked at the current calculateTrend() function and I can see that it only looks at the last two datapoints. It might provide more insight to fit a line to the last N points and determine the trend based on the slope of such a line. Viewing daily data like the figure below, the end of april was reported stable until the last tick, but it is part of a more general upwards trend. I'm unsure about the best value of N, and it might have to be slightly different for daily/weekly/monthly.
