Refer to this thread here: Reimplementation of Trades and Trade Statistics and Period Trade Stats Tabs/Calculations In regards to drawdown and run-up, those fields have been renamed to Flat to Flat Maximum Open Profit / Maximum Open Loss. And these are now properly calculated. We still need to document these fields. We will try to get to that today. And there still is a Running Profit/Loss. If there is anything you could see before which you cannot just let us know what it is and we will explain how you can see it or we can see how to add additional data to show you that information. Make sure you are using pre-release 1816 to see these particular field names: Software Download: Fast Update Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

V.1816 Using an all-in, scale-out strategy. There seems to be a problem with the Running Profit/Loss (C) column calculation on the Trades tab. The Total Profit/Loss for Closed Trades value on the Trade Statistics tab is correct, but the Running PL is not. Also, it would be helpful if the sort sequence on the Trades tab was Entry DateTime (asc) + Exit DateTime (asc). That way, the final trade (EP) would be at the bottom of the list of scale-out trades. I can send a screenshot if necessary. Please advise. |

The Total Profit/Loss for Closed Trades value on the Trade Statistics tab is correct, but the Running PL is not. Yes provide a screenshot of this clearly showing the issue.Also, it would be helpful if the sort sequence on the Trades tab was Entry DateTime (asc) + Exit DateTime (asc). That way, the final trade (EP) would be at the bottom of the list of scale-out trades. Since there is a first in first out fill matching method, the very final trade is at the end of the list of the series of trades which make up the flat to flat position Trade.Also refer to the updated documentation here for the fields: Trade Activity Log: Trades Fields Descriptions Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Both issues appear in the attached screenshot: 1. Discrepant Running PL 2. Exit DateTime in reverse sequence (the EP trade is not at the end of the list) |

One very minor issue with the Trade Statistics tab when either using File, Save Log As or Edit, Copy All is that there should be an additional tab before the First Fill column heading. Currently those column headings need to be moved one column right in Excel so that they correctly identify the data on the row below them.

Based on Fill To Fill All Symbols (Non-Sim) 2018-10-04 05:34:56 2018-10-05 07:37:16 2018-10-05 Trivial, I know, but it'd save me a click'n'drag every time I paste into Excel. Obviously, this is so far from critical that it's barely visible. :-) |

V.1821 using a scale-in, scale-out strategy. The FlatToFlat Profit/Loss (C) column's values appear to be incorrect after awhile. The trade sequence in the attached screenshot began with 1 contract long, added 1 more for 2, added another 1 for 3 total. Then it sold the 1st contract (total now 2) and soon bought 1 again (total back to 3). Proceeded to sell 1 (total = 2). Bought 1 again (total back to 3), sold 1 (total = 2). Finally, bought 1 (total back to 3), sold 1 (total = 2), and then flattened the remaining 2. |

No need to provide anything. We have it now corrected. The problem was that particular field was not working as documented and instead was implemented in the same way as the the Flat to Flat Maximum Open Position Profit/Loss are implemented.
