PRT Feature request – Printing

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). This is just silly. When printing the results of backtests (to PDF for example, for record purposes), there is no option to print a full report – all pages on all the tabs. You have to print each page in turn. This is especially a pain when you print to PDF as you end up with multiple PDF files for the same report. Yes, you can then use software to concatenate them into a single file, but all of this takes (and wastes) unnecessary time.

Yes that’s right, I were talking about that recently with a PRT guy. In fact, everyone in forums are posting screenshots of the results, it would be more relevant and useful to post full PDF reports.

In the recent v10.3 beta build, there is whole new detailed report available for manual trading, it would be great to show/send track records this way : print a full PDF report.

agreed 100%. the more comprehensive the reports the better. better information leads to (hopefully) better decisions 😉
