Separating test trading from intentional trading in Trade Performance?

[trader24211341]

HI,

I just discovered the Trading Performance analysis which is very cool.

However I often spend a fair amount of time not genuinely practicing trading in sim or playback mode, rather just testing things out, goofing off experimenting and so on,

So this of course really skews the performance stats in my sim and playback accounts. Is there anyway I can somehow mark / separate / delete? trades where I'm not actually practicing, from ones where I am?

thanks

Hello trader24211341,

Yes, you could create an additional simulation account and then use it for all your testing/experimenting. Then when you create a report in the Trade Performance window exclude this simulation account. If you click the 'funnel' icon right from the Display field in the Trade Performance window, you can enable the accounts you like to include in the report.

You can create additional simulation accounts at Control Center-->Accounts-tab and select 'Add Simulation Account'.

thanks, that works for everything but playback account trades but it'll have to do. cheers.
