Here a few of my ideas on how to improve the user interface on PRT BackTest :
1/ How about making a unique window that contains code, optimization report, and detailed report? All-in-1, with 6 tabs : Code, Optimization Report, Results Summary, Stats of closed positions, List of orders, List of closed positions
2/ Optimisation Results :
2.1/ Make columns width auto-adaptative, based on the number of digits of the content (and not based on the title). For title, use 2 or 3 lines to display all or enough of it using automatic text break to next line.
2.2/ Show the progress bar of the back-test in the title bar of the optimization report (instead of separate window).
2.3/ Add to progress bar the information about how many tests have been processed / total number of tests to process + estimation of time left + warning if time left < session remaining time.
3/ In the Code Editor :
3.1/ When doing a find/replace, pressing replace looks forward to find the searched text, replaces it… and stays there.
Suggested improvement : look forward to find the searched text, replace it and position the search on the next occurence [or alert that there is no more occurence and propose to restart from the beginning of the code]
3.2/There should 2 buttons for making the code become a comment / a comment reverting to code, with the latter really removing all ‘/‘ preceding the code (sometimes can be more than 2 if it was inserted manually)
