The issue I had/have with Trade Manager is that it did not always record trades properly. For example, at some point in the live history, Trade Manager mistakenly thought a sell to close was actually a sell short. Once that happened, all stats became meaningless.

Here is an example of what I do:

Taking a Trading System Live

Well, it only took a few months, but after today I am back in positive territory with the real money account that trades this strategy.

Maybe I should just stop right now, and declare the strategy a winner! Nah, that violates the plan...

I compare the actual trades results with the Tradestation Strategy Performance Report (which is based on the strategy engine calculations, not the real trades).

Exactly, you are right about the TM and TMA that is exactly what is happening to me...

I am not very familiar with the way you track record you results, I may PM you for clarification because I am a discreationary trader and I see you are a algo trader and the way you track record your results may not work in my case.

All I want is to keep track of my work in a simple manner but it looks like TS wont allow me to do that.

Here is the response I received from TS and it resolved my problem.

Please close TradeStation and reboot your computer. Navigate the file path corresponding to your system-type:

32-bit: C:\Program Files\TradeStation 9.1\Program

64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\TradeStation 9.1\Program

Delete the folder named TCache and reopen TradeStation.

This is a good thing to do every few days...seems to resolve any corruption. I get this done evert 3/4 days...especially when pulling a lot of tick data.

@pedalon You should get a job there with them! They confused me over the phone.

Things are looking okay for now.

I�ve had the problem for at least 5 years now. Gave up.

Yeah, deleting the cache helped me in the past.
This actiojn should be added the the TS manual.

And here in Feb 2021, still having problems w TS10 TMA giving me garbage analysis. I'm supposedly up $10,000's and in the market 99% of the time etc, when I'm usually in a trade just for a few minutes at a time max. One trade supposedly took a week to close!! I'll try deleting the tcache folder in TS10, hopefully it'll work the same way.

Well, so much for that idea - No tcache folder, will have to contact tech support.

I found the cache folder in the documents folder for Tradestation 10/CAL/Cache.

I rebooted, deleted the folder, and launched TS and it changed some of the orders in the analysis app but it is still incorrect.
