Performance Data Tab

[Learning1]

Let me begin by saying that I am delighted with NinjaTrader. I am increasingly impressed with the flexibility and power the platform has. I want to thank and congratulate everyone who has had a part in its creation and improvement.

I have one question related to the performance tab and it is quite possible that I am simply not finding the correct option area for its configuration. My question has to do with the bottom axis of the graph. No matter how I try to generate a performance graph, the bottom axis is always date with the smallest time increment being a day. This does not provide the intraday drawdown resolution I am looking for.

I know it is likely that there is an area where I can select the axis for this (either number of trades or 15 minutes or 30, 60 min etc.). Is this the case? You seem to have thought of everything else for this software.

Thanks again for everything,

Hi Learning1,

Thank you for taking the time to write your nice comments about our software.

We currently don't have a minute selection available in the Graphs section of the Performance tab. We do however have the number of Trades available. In Graphs click on the 'Graph' drop down and select 'Trades Profit/Loss'. This should show all individual trades.

I will forward your suggestion to our development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations.

Have a great day and Happy Trading!!

Thanks Vince.

From what I can tell though, this is showing the profit/loss of each individual trade. It is not showing the cumulative profit/loss of the strategy/strategies on a trade by trade basis.

In many platforms (Tradestation is the one I am most familiar with) one can see the cumulative performance of the strategies on a chart on a trade by trade basis, or other timeframes.

It seems that the cumulated profit dropdown in the Graphs tab of the Performance Tab shows the cumulative profit/loss, but the only resolution available is daily. This does not enable the ability to see what is happenning in the strategy / strategies intraday. Am I missing another setting somewhere?

Performance Tab shows performance data at an account level. With NT 6.5, we will have the ability to show performance data at a NinjaScript strategy level.

It is good to know that we will be able to view performance at a strategy level. This is helpful.

Is there any chance it may also be possible to view cumulative performance at a resolution greater than daily (trade by trade or minute)? If a strategy is trading a number of times a day, the drawdown can send a very different picture about the strategy than just the end result on the day.

Higher granularity is on our list for future possible enhancements.
