Wouldn't it be possible to every now and then simply deduct balance from equity and plot that as graph?

You guys have an awesome site, but I really don't know what's going on in my portfolio's most of the time. I'm sitting here with a pencil recording the equity changes. I know it would be a hassle to change the whole bias of the site to go to NAV based stats, and I don't think that's really necessary.

But I humbly request in addition to all the wonderful and useful stats here, that you do that simple calculation every x minutes and plot it as a separate graph.

You'd be saving trees !! No more pencils required....

Elkart, we're working on adding an equity graph to the stats, and hopefully it will be ready in a couple of weeks. smiley

Nice! but that could resulting heavy server loads. I mean, rather than passively accepting client history data like before, you have to check them with live quotes from some feed, on hundreds/thousands of accounts here. I think daily recording of high and low of equity curve (or make some equity curve band) is sufficient for a start.

K, but now I have a question.

I'm drawing down on my O account, but it's not being recorded that I've seen, and my one IBFX account is up 18% un-banked. But not showing on the equity graph. How and when do you guys track this?

I think they said it was done at the end of each day

11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature.

Currently it's calculated at the end of the day, but we're already working on calculating it at each account update - should be ready soon.
