There are some great suggestions on here but for me these 2 things are more important than any others:
- PRT does not have the ability for live strategies to see each other. Without this it is impossible to properly manage risk.
- As per GraHal’s post, the strategy interface is completely lacking in any sort of useable functionality. In weeks where a lot of positions have been taken I can spend hours updating my own trading log in Excel by matching the broker statement to which strategy took the position. Sounds a simple task but if you have a statement that says a position was taken on an instrument and you have multiple strategies running on that instrument you have to find the right one by scrolling through an endless list and even then it could be in the not running section if the strategy was changed part way through the period. Ideally I wouldn’t need to export the data at all if I could monitor the performance any way I chose from within PRT itself, by strategy, by market, by time period etc.
It would be great to know the global position…
EG: You have 5 different auto trades running, when the global position(profit) of all 5 combined strategies = £500 then quit

About my 39th query:
Predefined colours keywords instead of RGB coloring
instead of
1RETURN myvariables coloured(255,0,0) as "my variable"I’d like to have a keyword already defined to get a red color value like this example:
1RETURN myvariables coloured(red) as "my variable"It would results into a faster coding if a set of predefined keywords could be set directly into probuider language! (keywords to be defined).
Great idea. I totally agree with the need for faster optimisation as a critical, there’s many occasions where I’ve simply given up as the engine is just too slow or I’m not even sure if it’s actually working, which rather defeats the whole point of the function.

Add a note under Max Drawdown (see attached) as follows …
If drawdown does not populate then delete java cache

40th query: MAE/MFE averaged to get a whole picture of the strategy’s orders. Can be very useful to know where to place stoploss and takeprofit!
If the average of ‘Max Adverse Excursion’ was, for instance, 1200€. I do need to set a stoploss greater than this value in my strategy’s code. And the opposite is true for setting the takeprofit value.

Need a ‘Ticket ID and follow up system’ where we can check online what (with dates) is written against our Support Tickets submitted.

It be so useful if there is a SINGLE tick box in Template settings or Chart settings so that ALL Indicators do not show on the Price axis. Also Price, Order Levels not show … everything removed with 1 single tick box. Can keep individual settings as now, but needs a single override / clear all tick box.
In 18 months using PRT I’ve never needed instantaneous levels for Indicators or Bollinger (‘cursor cross hairs’ do it) it’s all clutter on the axis so why is ‘show-all’ the default and they all have to be laboriously unticked??
All I want to see on the axis is the ‘countdown timer to next bar’ and TF source of support / resistance levels … these are often hidden by all the prices I don’t want to see (attached is a simple example, can’t see countdown timer, but I get even worse!).
Okay, I know I could spend some time unticking individual settings for each price I don’t want to see … but it’s all faffing around and is frustrating.
Come on … somebody is now going to tell me there is a single tick box and I’ve missed it?? 🙂
