Hi Sierra, I'm working on a Risk Manager study. I need the open equity peak & valley for a given period (typically a day). As GetTradeStatisticsForSymbolV2() provides only closed equity peak & valley, i'm looking for a way to retrieve/calculate the open equity peak & valley. In my understanding it is unfortunately not possible to get it using sc.GetTradeListSizeEntry() or sc.GetFlatToFlatTradeListEntry(), as : - we don't have the exact time of Low/High Price While Open - FlatToFlat Max Open Profit & Loss doesn't reflect this The only way I see is to parse historical market data and rebuild equity at each tick together with the tradelist, which is a massive overkill, and I really want to avoid such a solution because it is important that this study stays as light and robust as possible. Could you please consider adding the following fields to sc.GetTradeListEntry() : - "Low While Open DateTime" = the exact time "Low While Open" price was touched, and the first one if touched multiple times - "High While Open DateTime" = same for High While Open ACSIL already provides almost everything needed to work on trades without parsing market data. The only missing information is that one. If you add it, it will be possible to calculate the exact/live equity peaks & valleys during the whole trading session whatever the number of simultaneous trades are running. That would close the gap and allow many possibilities in risk / journaling management. |

We will see if this is not difficult to do.

Hi Sierra, Any update on that subject ? If it's not a priority for you and you plan to release it maybe in 6 months or 2 years please give the information so that I can organize myself with or without Sierra. All I need is an update. thank you |

We have been meaning to get to this near term but we always have so many priorities that we just have not yet gotten to it yet. We do not think it would be two years or even six months from now but please remind us again in about a month.

We started some work on this. We will work on it gradually. It is fairly involved. Check with us every month on progress and as a reminder to us.

We have looked more into this. Implementing this is very involved and complicated. We will not be doing this. This is a final decision.

Thanks for your updates and final answer. I give up, even if I really don't understand why it is so complicated to update a member each time another member is updated, like : if ((currTrade.isOpen) && (currPrice > currTrade.highWhileOpen)) { currTrade.highWhileOpen = currPrice; currTrade.highWhileOpenDateTime = now(); // <---- } As a senior dev/architect/CTO myself, I've always thought SC was a great, powerful but strange piece of software. Not being able to add such a small feature is very surprising and uncommon. Thanks anyway. |
