Paper Trading Suggestion

[mstar]

It's a pity the paper trading does not show your P&L for the day (or the end result of all the trades made).
you can see only the P&L for active positions (as far as I know).
it reduces a lot the benefit of the paper trading, since many are using eSignal for daytrading : with many trades a day.
what counts is the total results after all closed positions.

Re: Paper Trading Suggestion

We're thrilled that many users have made comments about the paper trading module and we'll do our best to beef it up. The original intent for this was only to give users an example of the integrated broker window and trade ticket so they had a way to decide if they wanted to open an account with one of the integrated broker partners to take advantage of this new feature set.

It's become obvious now that users have a real need for this paper trading module for additional reasons and we'll take each suggestion into account for the continued development of the window including more integration from EFS.

Thank you

The "Paper Trader Station" program included to the latest Dynaorder release allows to emulate broker as much as possible (including displaying of P/L . And it may be used as a simulator of the broker software that receives orders from EFS studies or as a trainer - it allows to enter orders manually (mouse clicks mostly).

As it is compatible with eSignal, it may be used as the paper trading solution, while we wait for 7.2 release
