Prorealtime - where does a trade start and end?

Hi All,

 

This is another feature request.

 

With PRT backtesting (and auto-trading), it is most often quite difficult to see where a trade starts and ends - especially if there are a lot of trades, and/or long and short positions.

 

A simple solution would be to connect the start and end of each trade with a dotted line. Different colours could be used to differentiate between longs and shorts (like red and blue). There could also be an option to turn this functionality on or off.

 

Below is an example of what I mean (the area within the rectangle is how it is displayed currently, while the rest of the chart is with the added lines). For me, it is a lot quicker and easier to follow the trades with the added lines.

 



 

Would appreciate some comments/feedback.

 

Regards

Stef

As an aside, the current placement of the arrows and crosses doesn't help much, as they visually gives you the wrong idea of where the trades were entered or exited - and you cannot see the little exit and entry triangles without displaying the arrows and crosses.

Hi 

 

Thanks for sharing your idea. I can see the point you are making as strategies that are frequently entering the market could make it difficult to see the lifespan of the trade. 

 

I have passed on the point you have made to ProRealTime as having backtests that are easier to interpret could make for better optimisation and/or for quicker build times. 

 

Thanks again!

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
