Hi.

I suggest to show the lowest Equity% ever achieved, like you have the highest balance ever.

As you already show the current Equity% next to current Equity, it should be easy - add an extra line, and if(LowestEquity%<CurrentEquity%) LowestEquity%=CurrentEquity%

I think thats one of the best ways to check profitability against DD (huge open losers)

Cheers

It's a good idea, but as it can only actually be kept on file with MyFxBook and not within MT4 it would be possible to simply delete your account and add a new one to reset it.

However ( thinking as I go along here ) it would be possible for MyFxBook to maintain a record of broker/server/account number and if the same account was reconnected to retrieve the figure that had been stored previously.

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.

Well, that information can only be added after we can calculate historic equity of accounts.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Staff.

If historic Equity is to messy/difficult, just start recording the Equity% from now on, I know that won't show previous Equity%'s, but that's alright by me :-)

I think this may be fixed by marking clearly on a chart where from real equity is calculated, fxbook can simply separate graphically 'downloaded history' from history generated on the go.

There still will be a possible bypass: one can update account only on start of MT4 instead of every 5 min. This way you can restart MT4 only when open positions are in plus.
