  • Trade Explorer: for pro traders

    From forexfactory.com

    If a hedge fund manager tells you he’s “up 8% this month,” he’s invariably including the profit/loss of his open trades. That’s because the financial industry speaks in terms of equity, which includes the marked-to-market value of open trades. And it’s that way for a reason — the profit/loss on an open trade is every bit as real as on a closed trade, and performance metrics can be completely misleading when open trade activity is excluded. As Product Manager for the Trade Explorer, I hear from members who are concerned that their Trade Explorer’s statistics are not as favorable as shown on other sites ... (full story)

It could be great if we could join in Trade Explorer the legs of the same trade( partial take profit/scale out could not be considered separated trades)

Danny, great job on Trade Explorer! Keep up the good work and please don't succumb to requests of traders wanting to hide their open positions. Including Open positions is very important to a true and accurate window to a traders performance. Thanks again!

I'm really happy with the trade explorer.
It helps me avoid big losses in terms of percent of equity
as well as tell me when I've reached my goal for the week.

Considering open trades in all calculations is VERY IMPORTANT to me -- If I am happy with my overall results I can just go ahead and close out my open orders and done !

I agree with cristi01 here. I hope that's worked in the future. I usually close half my trades... so, the report comes out as making 'hundreds' of pips. even if it was just closing out 3 parts of the same 80-pip trade.

I think myfxbook has "absolute gain" which is equity based, correct?

For a "pro trader" Trade Explorer we need also a support fro "pro trader" platform imho! Not only crappy MT4, please add support for other broker like mb trading and dukascopy at least!

Hello

how do you prevent that the live accounts in new section about trades like gugafx are not fake from brokers like unscurpulous brokers well known from FPA??

Besides, I couldnot put here my account even if I want to since my broker is not on your list.....

I must say I don't find information in new section much useful , in my opinion it is just even more noice which can disturb you from real trades....
frankly, I dont care that right know someone/all crowd on your pages is buying tons of GBP or JPY - it is just noice for me.

however I appreciate this effort very much, I am sure in the future you will enhance this so it will be very useful tool. Very good is that you guys always come with something new and never give up.

best wishes and warm regards

X.

One of my brokers does not have investor passwords. Would be great l if there was an EA that could collect the data.

Hi Danny, TE does not work. it's stuck on "Aggregating Account ..". I sent help requests 4 times and still no answer... I have a 5 month old 6 digit account (up 50% as we speak) that I wanted to see statistics for on TE. Thx for any help you can provide.
