    Hi, Can  I request a function to close all open positions when x% change in account balance with x amount of time eg 24 hours?   I think it could be useful as a ‘failsafe’ if errors made on stop losses etc. Thanks.

    Hi

    I think this thread for offering suggestions is great idea, but how many are actually ever implemented?

    I ask because when IG were developing their own platform (which IMO is a mess compared to their old platform),
    because of the good relationship I had (have) with them, they agreed to let me beta test it while they were still developing it.

    I provided many suggestions (from a user’s perspective), some referring to glaring omissions and design/usability issues.
    It was clear the IT department thought it was impertinant of me to ‘interfere’ in their project, and none were implemented, and nothing rectified.

    The resultant platform is like a amateur DIY project gone wrong, though I’m sure there are some who continue to use it.

    When it went live I went straight onto MT4 and never looked back (though MT4 only trades Forex, some indices and some metals, but not stocks).

    I’m dipping my toe in the water with PRT but am quite impressed with it, and their support is very helpful.

    Within a day of testing it I came across several (IMHO) omissions  that concerned me.

    So back to my question:-are suggestions (not all, obviously) actually implemented, and what percentage – a few/quite a few/a lot/ most of them?

    I ask because I don’t want to bother if most aren’t ever actioned.

    Almost everything implemented in the current version of the platform are due to customers requests. While a functionality  helps someone it could also not be sufficient to another.. but that’s how it is 🙂

    I know PRT is listening to their users requests, you should use their suggestions box to send yours: https://www.prorealtime.com/en/contact?suggestion=1

    There is no way for us to know or gauge??

    I am not aware of any attribution by PRT of improvements as to the source of the idea?

    I more or less gave up years ago due to feeling demoralised after submitting ideas and not even getting a Ticket Number as acknowledgement to know that my suggestion is on a PRT Formal List. 

    Better still would have been able to see suggestions on an online Progress Log, even if the end point was an entry saying something like … Too difficult to implement for perceived benefit.

    I do understand that having a Progress Log or similar would incur a time / cost penalty for PRT.

    I would like to get positive again and submit suggestions, but it takes time away from trading and I can’t get over a feeling of helplessness to influence improvements of the PRT Platform.

    I do still have loads of ideas for improvement so I hope some measurable / quantifiable benefit comes of this Topic?

    I think the ProRealTime platform is pretty solid but one of the areas I think many will agree that needs strengthening is in the fight against the bane of every algo traders life – curve fitting.

    The addition of walk forward analysis was a good step forward but it is still fairly basic and I dont think it would take much to improve its functionality. For example being able to specify the outcome criteria that is being sought i.e overall net profit, out of sample max profit, or out of sample winning %, minimum drawdown to mention just a few. I find the walk forward output quite frustrating at times which results in more manual manipulation of parameter input bands with repeated backtests to obtain what you’re looking for which then by definition leads to curve fitting. One criteria I would really like to add would be to be able to output the best equity curve. Other packages I’ve used refer to this as ‘stability’ and give it a measurable number.

    Other areas where the walk forward analysis could be improved would be to add to the current choice of ‘anchored’ or ‘non anchored’. An ‘intermittent’ or ‘phased’ ability would split the entire data range of say 10 equal sections that would alternate between in sample and out of sample directly adjacent to one another (5 of each) and then at the end of the back test accumulate all the in samples as one curve and all the out samples as 1 curve. You can then assess the stability of the in sample and out of sample data that way.Or to be to be able to put the out sample at the beginning, or in the middle instead of the end.

    I’ve heard rumour that monte carlo analysis is being considered for addition? That would be very welcome. Things to include in the monte carlo would be randomise trade order test, random trade skip test and filter the results based on probability confidence. Another type of monte carlo could be random changes in the strategy itself eg spread, slippage or some of the parameters.

    An optimisation profile would be a great addition which runs an optimisation routine on chosen parameters and creates a profile of the results to be evaluated to help find if your results are based on outliers or are evenly distributed.

    thanks for the work so far.

    End of wish list!

    Hi,

    As PRT give us the opportunity to save parameters for each indicator, each screen etc…  Would it be possible to save a different sound alert for Proscreeners ?

    Actually we can just change the sound file for screeners alerts, but it’s the same sound for all screeners. It would be great if we could choose the alert sound file when configuring each screener (as we can choose the time period) , then when we run many screeners at the same time, we can easily know which one found something just by hearing the specific sound.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    would it be possible to add an evolution regarding the timeframe’s backtest  in PRT ?

    It seems to me that it would be great to have it in order to determine the best timeframes for a strategy

    or if not possible, the possibility to encapsulate the timeframes in conditions (

    choice = X (parameter value for BT)

    if choice = 1  then

    timeframe (1 hours,..)

    else if choice = 2 then

    timeframe (2 hours,..)

    endif

    *************

    OR

    timeframe (X hours,..)

    for example

    Did you try above – encapsulate the timeframes in conditions – and it didn’t work?

    It is not possible to encapsulate the TIMEFRAME instruction into a conditional block (IF / ENDIF).

    I am starting to feel positive again as I can see several of my suggestions for improvement (over the years) have been incorporated in v11.1 … mainly in the area of the ProOrder AutoTrading window listing running and non running Algo’s.

    I find it so useful to be able to sort by Total Gain, Latent Gain, Position etc.

    I’ve spent quite some time  coming up with my preferred layout for my Dashboard (Love it! 🙂 ).

    The above (time-consuming) task then has to be repeated for the Backtest Detailed Report and then repeated twice more on my other Demo Account (in UK we have SB and CFD Accounts) and then when we get v11.1 in Live I will have to repeat another 4 times!

    Please PRT could there be some way of Dashboard Layout export / import?

    Or even the ‘Start on this Computer with this Workspace’  to mean what it says?  Unfortunately, it works as follows …  ‘Start on this Account with this Workspace’ .

    I’m not moaning (I’m very pleased overall with V11.1 ) just making a suggestion that I’m sure many other PRT Users would also welcome.

    I have another idea (getting too positive, too quick! 🙂 ) … if we come up with a preferred universal standard layout then PRT could provide it as a selectable Option from the list available … on every Account AND for AutoTrading and Backtest??

    Image 1 is what I see on a 28 inch Monitor for the current PRT Standard layout … useless and frustrating in my opinion as I have to scroll vertical and horizontal to see even a few of the widgets!

    Image 2 is my preferred layout .. currently! 🙂

    I am more than happy to add widgets as folk want so we come with a preferred universal standard layout?

    If a few say on this Topic that above is a good idea then I would open a new Topic and we can work on it for a few weeks until everybody is happy??

    You could also then post your own preferred layouts, we may even end up with 2 or 3 preferred universal standard layouts??

    It also makes good sense because when any of us post a Dashboard image then we would all be looking at the same layout so this means we assimilate the posted info quicker!

    Just an idea anyway, have a think please?

    Hello everyone, I often use many variables for optimization. Now to see the number of combinations I have to scroll all the way. Would it be possible to “take out” that value?

    What do you mean “take out” that value?

    I wish that PRT would make that window (you show above) with minimise / maximise so then we wouldnt have to scroll up and down … one of my pet hates!!  Was with V10.3 and the irritant is still there in v11.

    I’ve tried sizing the window to max with the edge arrows and then saving as XXX Template (and ticked … start on this computer with this workspace) , but sure enough next time I use that window it is back again tio the same old useless small size.

    I will put in a suggestion to PRT  very soon.

    Is above what you mean?

    If NO … what do you mean?    Maybe I am missing a trick??

    Hi GraHal look at the screenshot that I’ve attached please. I’ve draw what I’m expect on interface 😀
