Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how to display or highlight winning trades on the chart when we backtest a strategy? I know we can see the closed positions list which gives the % of winning or losing trades, but is there a way of marking those trades on the chart other than by doing so manually? The equity curve does help but it can be misleading when a trade goes into profit initially but then drops into a loss after.

I’ve tried to make an indicator based on the equity curve and open positions, but alas my coding knowledge for indicators is virtually non-existant.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Hi – You should get icons on the chart showing Stop Loss.

Thanks that only seems to work if it hits a stop / limit rather than a particular profitable exit condition…..very curious!!

Hi Dave

How about using the ‘GRAPH positionperf > 0.01’ then you would see gains of greater than 1% (or whatever you choose) marked up on the Chart.

Cheers
