Hello all,

I am looking for a feature that the trading platform can show your trades from account history on the charts graphically so that I can review the trades and evaluate them for the quality of entries and exits. Does Tradestation has this feature? By doing some research, I found that MetaTrader 4 has the feature I am looking but I just wondering if Tradestation or other Platform has something similar.

I am trading with IB so if the platform(I prefer Tradestation, Ninjatrader and multicharts) can import my trade history and plot on the chart, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Eric

ericgong,

Tradestation and Multicharts can show trades that you did on the chart.
With Tradestation you won't be able to show trades that you did at IB, though. With Multicharts this is possible,
as long as the trades show up in the order and position tracker (https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Why_chart_shows_no_trades)

Thanks ABCTG, Just tried out Multiharts, connected with IB, the charts is really slow to plotted (I guess because of data request). tried to display 1 mins ES charts and it took forever..... for equities, the charts seems can only go back to a few months.

Still new to both and still learning.

Thanks,

ericgong,

that's possible, as you will run into "pacing violations" easily when you backfill IB data. This slows you down a lot.
Keep in mind that IB is not a data provider (in the sense that this is not their business, but a by product).
