Prorealtime – where does a trade start and end?

Originally posted on the IG Community forum. But, as they are slow to respond – if they respond at all – maybe this is a better platform to post these to? @Nicolas, it seems you have a good channel to PRT. Please evaluate and pass on to them (I am going to post a number of these – some might be old, and may possibly even be in v10.3 already).

Hi All,
This is another feature request.
With PRT backtesting (and auto-trading), it is most often quite difficult to see where a trade starts and ends – especially if there are a lot of trades, and/or long and short positions.
A simple solution would be to connect the start and end of each trade with a dotted line. Different colours could be used to differentiate between longs and shorts (like red and blue). There could also be an option to turn this functionality on or off.
Below is an example of what I mean (the area within the rectangle is how it is displayed currently, while the rest of the chart is with the added lines). For me, it is a lot quicker and easier to follow the trades with the added lines.
Wing thanked this postThe current placement of the arrows and crosses doesn’t help much, as they visually gives you the wrong idea of where the trades were entered or exited – and you cannot see the little exit and entry triangles without displaying the arrows and crosses.
