entry & exit distribution + backtest

[staycool3_a]

hi how can i add a variable to my backtesting report?

basically i want to know "where" most of my entries and exits are losers/winners? I do see that the backtest report has entry/exit distribution as far as time is concerned. what i am looking for is if my entries taken above "X" price, for example opening price, were winners or losers.

for example>

opening price for the day = 100

enter trade at 110 and this trade was a winner.

so perhaps my backtesting report can include the ''opening price'' of the day etc

any ideas?

Hello calhawk01,

You would not be able to add this to the Backtest Report but you may manually Print out the information that you would like and view it inside of the Output window.

You may view our reference at the following link that goes over getting Trade Performance statistics.

Hello calhawk01,

You may use the Print() function as described in the following link to our Help Guide.

To open up the Output window you may go to Tools -> Output Window.

Here is a thread that goes over how to Debug your NinjaScript code that you may view as well that is a good reference when Printing out values to see what they are.

ok, so really quick:

if(.....)
{golong
print(opening price)
}

output the opening price everytime we go long? please ignore the incorrect coding.. just generalizing

Calhawk01,

Correct, every time you go long it will print the opening price of that bar you would index
i.e.

Print(Open[0]);

Would print the opening price of the current bar.
