    Distribution chart - improvement

    Distribution of results per hour/half-hour/per month, ...
    should be improved to to show extremes during that period.

    For example, current chart of monthly results looks like this:



    Problem:
    It is good, how each month finished - we see the final value at the end of the month
    But we are not able to evaluate, what was the lowest value during that month = biggest drawdown in that month. So we are not able to evaluate the real operational drawdown.

    This would require to add a MIN/MAX value to the bar, because current bar represents
    only the final value, after all fluctuations. These fluctuations are very important - because
    they show how big the real drawdown was during the month and what drawdown we should be prepared for.

    Explanation:
    Missing this important information, can cause a big surprise during live trading. Final results can look well, but operational fluctuations can be much bigger. In such a situations, many traders stop trading, because, they arenot prepared for such an operational drawdown.

    So it is extremely important to see the whole reality, and not just a final result during that period.

    Solution:
    Add a vertical line, in the middle of the column bar, that shows also both extreme - min/max during that period. (Finally it will look like a candle bar).


    This has to be added into these graphs:
    • Daily/Weekly/Monthly net profits
    • Distribution - per Day/Hour/Half-hour.

    The point is always the same.

    Thanks for that great feedback misova, I agree the combined visualization of those items would be advantageous. I've added to our enhancement request trackings in product management under SFT-188.
