{quote} Not under Trade Activity Log that I could find but think what you are looking for is on Orders and Positions window.... under positions, select Position List View enabled. Select show individual sub positions will show your respective trades. Also / your screenshot is showing your account number so please remove :- EDIT : You finding on MAE/MFE... Sierra does it quite well... take a look at the position winder or individual trade tab in activity log

{quote} doh i checked the position tab. can't filter out the "filled" rows only. plus it still splits the fills into separate row which is a pain to try to just get the net pnl/tick from a single setup plus can't edit to tag trade..

{quote} Not sure. It could be because you are not entering trades from within Sierra treating fills differently in your case. The only way I know of to attach tags is to use a custom "file" for each setup in the screenshot below. It will then log trades based on this filename EDIT: but this is also only work when you enter trades from within Sierra. you are out of options imo Why can't you trade with Sierra? With VPS, it should address your connectivity issues at work {image} {image}

{quote} i work on a laptop at work, so my connectivity is via wifi. i can't even remote desktop to my old vps from my work laptop unless i disconnect from work wifi and use my mobile hotspot. i don't know kind of firewall they have, but it's pretty strict. i don't think i want to use up data to trade. that's the power behind cloud trading..it's free and clear

My lack of posting here means I have yet to find a meaningful strategy worth going live. Perhaps I have been too hard on myself in defining my success criteria. I don't think I am but this process is KILLING ME. Winning strategy in my definition is one which 1) does not put more than 10% of my initial capital at risk! 2) without putting all my historical winnings at risk! 3) must work with max one trade open at a time 4) must have the potential to make atleast $5K/day with max 10 contracts/trade ($5K*200days = $1M/yr income potential or $500/contract/day...

I am getting ready dump all this shit I spent 100s and 100s of hours designing in Sierra collection because it does not allow a simple thing a saving a global parameter for reuse. Every fucking parameter requires a study. To calculate another value from a parameter requires another fucking study, to study a study, I need another motherfucking study... Fuck this Study business. Fuck Sierra Fuck NQ COL (crying out load, cursing out load, crushed out loud etc etc) Words cannot describe my motherfucking frustration this shitty tool has given me. I still...

magnumfreak: well to the point. good to see more engineers here the key secret to automated trading is simplicity and the law of large numbers. also; you need to revise your target returns. your goal is not possible. if you want to live to trade another day; aim at no more than 10% DD and no more 100% a year. try alphaomega strategy mentioned in his thread: simple mean reversion strategy. it works well on eurusd. listen to leda braga on this youtube. somewhere in the middle she has answers to your questions: https://youtu.be/TvZG9iQ2e5Q...

V, I commend you for not deploying your algo, since you are not yet satisfied with its results. I see quite a bit of frustration in your posts above, which is actually a positive sign because it indicates you are pushing forward. Keep pushing forward, its the only way, you know very well what waits for you on the other side. Writing you a specific post pointing to some overlooked consideration that would help nudge you over this current speed-bump would ideally be my intention. However, as you are surely aware, your research, system, and coding...
