entry signals and tracking trade performance

[stewarco]

Hello. I'm working on an unmanaged strategy which generates a variety of signals, e.g. Buy1, Buy2, Sell1, Sell2.

If I want to look at the cumulative performance of any one of those signals, is there an easy way to do it? E.g., if the entry signal Buy1 has generated 12 trades, how do I see the net profit on those 12 trades?

I've been looking through the TradesPerformance section but haven't figured out how to isolate trades generated under a particular signal as opposed to AllTrades.

Thanks

Hello stewarco,

Thank you for your note.

I would suggest adding some user input of type bool to your strategy so that from the UI you can control which signals are allowed to fire.

I’ve attached a strategy which has three different entry orders, LongA, LongB, LongC, as well as a bool for each which would allow you to disable that specific entry.

You could disable 2 of the three to see how one specific entry performed.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
