I am currently using two primary exit strategies and when trying to analyze which is performing best I am getting completely inaccurate calculations. Sorting the trades trades by exit strategy (notes section) not working correctly.

We do not know what this means.

Also it is important to take note of the following:
Trade Activity Log: Understanding and Setting the Start Date-Time for a Trades List

And if using the Note filter, is causing fills which are part of Trades to get filtered out, then the results are to be completely nonsensical if the needed fills do not have the same Note on them.

You need to understand what it is you are looking at and make sure the fills are present and the starting fill is correct.

it means I cant sort by trade window configuration...notes sort ineffective..
This one days results..all same twcomfig...then sort by same in notes window...calculations way off...add up over a week and impossible to tell which tw config is most efficient.

You need to look at the first tab, the Trade Activity tab of the Trade >> Trade Activity Log and make sure the first fill is correct according to the explanation here:
Trade Activity Log: Open Quantity Field Calculation Method

And then make sure there are no missing order fills.

If there are missing order fills it may relate to the Text Tag/Note not being applied to the Attached Orders. This is now resolved in the latest prerelease 1954. Update following these instructions here:
Software Download: Fast Update

But this does not affect existing recorded fills. Only going forward after the update.

If you have any trouble with live trading and missing fills, use this new service:
