As #Peter points out again, the solution to a problem can be a very long path, especially when you have to get others to walk it.
You can lead a horse to water , but you can’t make it drink!.
I try to take the paths I can walk myself, may not get the solution I want, but I can pickup other interesting tools up on the way.
Sometimes these tools add up to a different path to a solution.
Demo
With the [Main menu> Order list], though it state a maximum of 1000, does that mean in total in the list, or over the sample with the last 1000 orders .
Not got no ware enough data to see but,
If the strategy column is visible, and you filter by strategy name, will it show, a list up to a 1000 orders of that strategy, or to the date of the un-filtered 1000’s orders of all strategies.
Not having the strategy option in the portfolio detailed report isn’t helpful, but at least it shows the instrument and date/time stamp etc. They slipped up there!
If the above filter shows up to a 1000 orders of a strategy, it still would require to filter each strategy on that instrument if multiple strategies used, to find a trade.
Alternatively, you could pull up each strategies chart/Orders list using the chart icon’s for relevant instrument from [Main menu>Trading>ProOrder Autotrading] window till you find the trade.
Though I have no need at the moment, I did have an idea using the tools that I know, it may not be easy, but, repeatable. I haven’t tried it but on the surface it may work.
The basics are this:
———————————————
Warning!…Save current workspace…
———————————————-
Using a blank workspace, open the ProOrder Autotrading window.
Open the chart/Orders list for each strategy on an instrument using the associated chart icon and format them somehow in window.
You could set all the charts on top of each other an distribute the lists so visible depending on how many there are.
Clicking a order will bring relevant chart to top.
Since you can see each orders list per strategy, you can have a basic/good idea what their doing.
Also, I don’t know if these lists are bound by the same 1000 limit!
If the trade your looking for appears in a list (re: without scroll) then you can tell which strategy it was.
One thing to note, a new orders lists, will default to the last settings.
If you change from orders to closed positions then the new ones follow that as a default.
If there a lot , then switching may be a chore if that’s required.
Since when you save a workspace, open charts and the orders list will be open when workspace re-opened up.
You could have several workspaces, one for each instrument, import and export are options, if run out of workspaces, plan B !
When you click on an order in a list the chart aligns to it, this works the other way around too, unless the chart displayed order is out of scope of the order(s) list.
You also have option to bring up a main menu portfolio detailed report where you can align, via the the cursor position, between lists/charts with a bit of effort.
Along with the main menu Order list. You have option to, Filter per strategy.
With out trying it, there could be other hurdles to jump over, but above don’t look too out of the ordinary.
If used as a procedure, then next time workspace its opened, all the new trades would be updated in the lists etc., to look at.
The hassle of setup and maintenance, may be out weighed with the ability to see a bigger picture more conveniently.
That’s about all I can think of with only 1 coffee.
How do you find which strategy, and how often do you need to?
Regards
