That's correct. I'm not sure if there's any practical implications for users of either at the moment. I'm guessing it's business as normal for now.
Hello Laissez Faire, This is good right? It shows you all your trades and equity curve, and wins and losses and win% and lose % and drawdwon, right?
Arguably, those are most important. I like to track the points, too. I have a fairly good system in Excel where I just export trade data from NT to Excel. It is of course a manual step I'd like to avoid. I'm sure I use 1-3 hours per week for all my bookeeping and in a busy life that's time I could spend doing something else. A random week:
Hello Laissez Faire, You need Tradovate like me so you can show off your trade performance. Nooone will believe Excel. I will either use Tradovate or Tradestation and connect tradestation to https://kinfo.com/leaderboard/profit. Both will allow me to show off to other traders and members on ET without no arguing and noone think I am lying. Are you trying to brag others? Excel is old school. Throw it away. Also, if you can build a believable track record, may open a trading school for a fee.
The bragging part is secondary, but definitely an option I’d like to have. Tradestation seems to be an option too. I read some mixed reviews, though.
Incredibly, it seems like the PDF statements are pretty much standard with most brokers. I can't believe that Tradovate's solution isn't the industry standard in this day and age. I finally managed to get a demo of Tradovate up and running and placed some trades today. Don't mind the shitty performance as I wasn't really trading. Just placing some trades to play around with the interface. It could be a matter of habit of course, but I have to say I much prefer trading through Ninjatrader. But look at this which is available real-time:
Good Morning Laissez Faire, Great showing the account looks REAL, and believable. I will be testing out Tradovate as well for 100% believable showing.
Yes. It's a great feature for sure. Feel free to report back on your results. I'm still liking Ninjatrader better for actual trading, but like I said, it may be a matter of practice.
