How to keep a track record of trading to show investors?

Dear friends, I have been trading in various products from equities to commodities and also FX since 5 years now. Overall I have changed 3 prop desks, in this span of time.
But currently I am trading with a broker on profit/loss sharing arrangement. He has provided me with access to the Globex platform. They have their own inhouse trading software which is much better than MT4, for trading. I still use MT4 for charting.

Now my problem is that I do not know how to keep a track record of my trades. The software does not allow to save or export the details of the trades that I make. And I have to manually write down my trades on excel sheets. They say this is because they don't want traders to take these records out of their systems. I do not understand the logic behind this unreasonable system.

Now if I trade with them for another year, and then decide to join a bigger desk , I ll not have anything to show as track record. Because I dont think anyone will appreciate my excel sheet entries.

I will be grateful if someone tell me what is a valid format for trading track records and what kind of track records are considered legitimate by investors/prop desks ?

Help appreciated.
Thanx in Advance.

I'm not sure if these options are viable enough for your situation but
perhaps if you can do either one then your track record will be recorded

Don't worry about trading track records for investors. I would rather worry about the tax man. If they find out that you are making profits and are not able to supply them with documentation on how you earned this money, you will soon be in a lot of trouble.

And why not just go through a normal broker and get your trades audited by one of the big 4. Nothing is more legitimate than getting your trades audited by them. And of course your excel trades won't impress anybody.

No my friend ; the broker I am associated with , takes care of all this. I get 50% of my trading profits and he keeps the rest. This 50 % I receive in the form of consultancy fees. So the tax man does not know I am trading. I trade in his prop account.

Thanx

Open up a real MT4 account you currently use one for charting anyway and use real money. Mirror the trades you do. Then you can show a real live money account to explain your trading success.

you could try mt4i trade publisher, it allows the user to analyze performance across different metrics
