Infinity AT trade performance analysis?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

Every day I save my trades from the InfinityAT platform to the hard drive in .csv format. This means I can open them in a spreadsheet program (excel, openoffice).

 

This is a nice feature and all, but the problem is I trade far too many round turns to make any sense of all the data.

 

What I want to know is whether anyone knows how to turn this raw data into some kind of summary, ala ninjatrader's performance analysis tab;

I don't need anything remotely that complicated in terms of performance analysis, but a summary of the number of trades, percentage profitable, etc would be obviously very useful.

 

I'm surprised Infinity don't offer this kind of script built into the software. Has anyone else found a solution to my question?

 

P.S. The reason I've posted this here is the forum subsection is sponsored by Infinity AT.

 

Thanks in advance

Be aware that the simulator and the real trade is different using Infinity AT. Order in the simulator are easily got filled, and you can easily make money. In my experience, it will be a new learning curve from the transition from simulator to real money. The filled and the slippage especially.

Thanks for your concern beginner, but I've already been trading a real account with Infinity for months. My experience with them has been very positive.

 

Anyone got a suggestion or solution to the original post?

 

Thank you again

If it's not possible with their platform you can only go looking for a third party tool or put something yourself together with excel or have someone write a piece of software for you.

 

I tried to spin my own tool for my old broker, got pretty far but ran into some problems.

I suppose the data you get is opening of a position, price entered, instrument, number of lots and close of position, price exited, instrument, number of lots.

 

What you'd need to add manually is the $point value per instrument and comes the difficult part. If you always have only one trade on and your money management strategy doesn't include partial profit taking all is fine and dandy. If not, it's hard to tell which lot belongs to which trade especially if you have more than one trade per instrument on at a time.

 

Gross profit/loss should be easy to calculate with an excel though.

Hope you can find some tool or at least make infinity aware of what is lacking in their software.

Another a bit drastic measure would be to switch to NT, guess it's free for trading Infinity anyway.

 

Good luck

I'm surprised Infinity does not offer something so simple in their platform. Open ECry has something like you are looking for, fyi. I would actually like more, but we'll see if TraderDNA can get off their butts and get it done...

Thanks for the fast replies chaps. :)

 

I too am surprised there isn't a summary tab built into InfinityAT to achieve what I'm asking for.

 

The only other option as Sparrow suggested is to write a 3rd party piece of software which I can import the .csv data into and calculate a summary from, similar to ninjatrader. But that's quite alot of hassle for something so simple.

 

I could switch to NT but I really like InfinityAT.

 

I highly doubt Infinity will make any changes to the software if just one client wants the performance summary, but if there's any other Infinity customers here who would like this functionality, maybe we could form some kind of petition. Strength in numbers and all that.

Stone - that is one thing I love about Open ECry - they do in fact listen to their customers and take all suggestions into consideration. And sometimes even if it's just ONE client. I am speaking from personal experience. Hard to beat that in my opinion.

Hi treadstone,

 

If they have a board mention it there, maybe people will pile on your request and they'll implement it. Shouldn't take up a huge slice of their development budget, key would be to get it near the top of their priority list, since it's no big help if something so fairly simple but so useful gets done within a year.

 

Start the riot!:fight:

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
