Accessing Trade Performance via Strategy Builder

[lucyb]

I'm gonna guess also this is why I could never get this to work:

And one follow up question if possible. I notice, although now it's working the count doesn't make sense.

What I would consider 1 trade (ie, Enter order followed by a related exit). The count shows 2. Then after the next trade(enter + exit). The count goes to 5.

Hello lucyb,

Regarding the other post, that setting would not affect drawing objects but if you applied the strategy to the control center then yes those objects will not be drawn. You need to use a chart for anything visual related, if you apply strategies to the control center they are basically working in the background at that point.


Regarding the count, that is the all trades collection so that will include historical trades as well. If you view the strategies performance report the count you see should match the trades in that report when historical + realtime is viewed. The number of trades should be for the number of paired entry + exits that happened since the strategy was enabled.

When I enable the strategy it prints 0 trades. Then hit and play and see the first trade play out. After it concludes the counts shows 2 trades and 2 winning trades.

My strategy is on price change, so I also thought this doesn't work correctly with strategy performance.

I have to make another thread. The problem I have now is slightly related to another topic slightly.
