justed checked the charts again now at 12.10 EDT, seems like the ascii historic 'day' data for 19th is still missing (overwritten by IB live data for the overnight session only, 19th), any ideas? Many thanks for any help.

Contacted Ninja Trader, but seems they don't do risk reporting, just performance reporting and execution.... Anyone know any other software which can handle the above risk metrics? I can use excel, but it gets tricky with trailing stops and pyramiding into positions where the risk is dynamically...

should add that I'm trading mostly commodities and financial futures (currency, interest rates, stock indices) - Does anyone who uses IB know if they have anything on their trading platforms which can report any of the above stats?
