In Forex I don't care about short or long.
So you graph 'Average holding time (short/long)' should be switchable to 'Average holding time (winner/looser)'.
Then we would be able to see if we stick too long on loosing trades and on which pairs

But on the other hand, having a losing trade long time is not necessary a bad thing if it goes according to trading plan. Like lets say somebody has a system with stop loss of 100 and aiming for > +600 winners. Then, even if the price gives this trader a negative floating result long time it does not matter because it is still going totally according to trading plan.

I do agree with your initial suggestion that holding time is better, but just saying that holding negative trade does not necessary mean bad.
