Thanks for the new version, vvhg. I'll give it a try....
In the meantime I am working on the correct ticks count for currencies futures... mostly there. Now just have to do the math during the import (deduct the commissions etc).
vvhg, I actually have a tip for the feature in the journal.
Wouldn't it be nice to have some graph showing the gap between the real vs unrealized profit? (i.e. the amount of money left on the table due to the bad exit).
Perhaps even link that to the time series - so that we can see whether we are getting better or not.
I am struggling with the exits in my discretionary trading and this could help me a lot.
- calculates the MAE/MFE from the currency amount of the trade (the export with units in currency is now supported). To do so it loads a csv with the instruments settings (instrument-list.txt) attached to the program.
- skips the Method and Comments fields in excel if data handling set to discretional (it puts there name of entry and followed rules for automatic)
- now features embedded journal excel beta 9
Here I would like to ask someone to fill in the settings for instruments into the instrument-list.txt file in order to support the currency format of data export:-)
Next feature to implement is to group the trades based on entry time (minute).
Well, I had an idea to show the line/or bar graph with the horizontal axis = time and vertical = ticks and display to series (realized profit, max unrealized profit per trade).
However the time is not hour in day, but rather each day (and in more detailed view each trade).
Maybe something like in the picture here but the lines in same graph or perhaps stacked bars (two for each trade).
This is essentially what I am doing in the importer except I don't want to have anything to do with Microsoft Interop libraries. The are difficult to handle and the API is not well made. I prefer the library I am using right now.
Anyway, this does not solve the issue how to import to excel from within the excel:-)
dont believe anything you hear and only half of what you see
