How to: EOD I would like to print out my trade performance stats

[WattMan]

As part of my strategy, I would like to printout the trade statistics for the day (i.e., ETD, MAE, MFE, etc.) and am wondering how to recognize that EOD has been hit? I can do this with DateTime but seemed like an un-necessary burden to undertake to print these readily available stats at end of trading day. Any guidance?

Hello WattMan,

A DateTime would be the best way to do that so you can print the value before the end of the session. Once the end of session happens the scirpt is no longer processing so it would not be able to print anything out until the start of the next session.

Got it - thanks. Just wondering if metrics would differ if I used DateTime (assume I stop trading earlier than EOD) versus Bars.IsLastBarOfSession?

Hello WattMan,

If you stopped trading before the time you print the values they shouldn't be changing because there is no open trade.

IsLastBarOfSession would only be true on the open of the new session when the previous session bar is closed.

If you know the session end time it would be best to just make a time condition that becomes true once at that time. You can also use the session iterator to get the end of session time to calculate a time before the session close to print the information.
