Following up my own questions. After rummaging through a few other posts touching on applicable topics I have pieced together a solution. I was able to create a spreadsheet template to paste the trade data obtained in each back test. To obtain the data you can use the (Copy All) selection from the Edit Menu in the (Trade Activity Log) while viewing the [Trades] report. Paste the data in the spreadsheet template which calculates results. I use an MT4 platform on Forex, so the math is out there to calculate margin percentage, estimated swaps, and fees for your account. For the math calculations I set a universal margin percentage I wanted the account to maintain for each trade; subsequently a lot size was calculated each time based on current account size. Take each trade row result and add the profit/loss to the next line. Repeat the same formula down the rows and you'll be able to see how well your system did. Maybe there's a better way, but this was how I solved my own question. |
