In the past few years I have spent some time searching for a software that could do my analysis of my trading results. But I was never able to find such a software, so I started to write my own application in Excel with little VB... well but there have many things to be done manual and some features I wanted to create didn't work.
Anyway I saw that the guy that is the developer of the TradePerformance Software is looking forward to improve his software. So I think it could be a good idea to collect some ideas what such a software could have included.
Here are at first my points:
- European Futures capable
- Import from the PatsSystems Software
- Similar Statistical Analyisis like in the Rina Report that is included in TradeStation 2000i
- Comparison with the underlining data of the trades. (i.e. compare the daily profits with the daily range of the future or currency)
- Spread Sheet integration for customized formulas.
- A risk management utility that could give you a warning when your results change dramatically or also take some conclusinons when some statistical data gives critical signs.
This are the most important features I can directly think of. When I find some more things I will add them.
Maybe someone else has some input....
