Hi John,

I also came across TradesViz via Google today and per my preliminary research, they have robust features to compliment trade activity log. I am also quite surprised SC is not aware of this provider as they work with brokers and platform owners and allow realtime autosync capabilities to transfer trading activity from SC directly into their platform. I was hoping to get your blessing before I sign up as they need account information etc and don't feel comfortable unless they are 'certified' by Sierra Chart. It appears they have a study developed that does the autosync so it should be quite easy to look at their solution and certify the use of such vendor (from a security and privacy standpoint).

Regarding trade activity log, I will share my biggest frustration with the inability of such a advanced and professional grade platform to track max account equity at the intra day/week/monthly level. The Equity Peak column under Period Stats shows a inaccurate/misleading picture of strategies that involve taking profits only at session close... meaning, if I have a intra-day peak PnL of 100points closing down at breakeven, it does not reflect peak equity of 100points. Huge limitation imo! It should reflect true "peak" acount equity on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. This is the only reason why I want to move to a 3rd party solution. Access to accurate accounting of peak intra-day/week/month account equity in real time is of paramount importance to algorithmic trading proactive drawdown management :-(
