Post From: Reimplementation of Trades and Trade Statistics and Period Trade Stats Tabs/Calculations

In the latest revision of version 1814, the reimplementation of the Trade Activity Log Trades list and Trade Statistics is complete. To be sure you have the latest revision, update again to 1814 even if you are running 1814.

In versions prior to this, the development is incomplete and the functionality is not going to work properly.

However, we still have to go through and verify the values but we have no reason at this point to believe there is a problem.


The High and Low values during position, for each trade are now properly implemented and all of the calculations based on those values will be accurate. We question how that was implemented previously for the flat to flat order fill grouping method, which has now been removed.

As has been said, flat two flat has been removed. Instead you now see the individual trades and there are new fields which represent the overall flat to flat values during a position on the Trades tab.

You will also see fields indicating what the position quantity is at the open of a trade and also at the close of a trade.

When a trade establishes a position you will see BP at the date time which opens the trade and EP at the date time which closes the trade when the Position Quantity goes to 0. This way you can easily identify those fills which are part of a flat to flat overall trade. And you have the running PL within each flat to flat series of trades which resets itself when the Position Quantity goes to 0. So you can track the Profit/Loss within an overall flat to flat trade quite clearly and incrementally.

The only outstanding item that needs to be done is Last In First Out order fill matching for the current position average price, as an option.

Also the Long and Short, Long Only and Short Only options in the listbox of the Trade Activity Log for the Trades list, is not supported anymore. Due to the efficiency improvements and the code reimplementation, it was not easy to implement.
