I'm being really lazy here, but it's a simple addition.

On Open Trades is it possible to add a column that shows the difference between the stop loss and open price?
So in effect we can see what the pips locked in are for that trade at that moment.

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.

But only for open trades?
I realised, that if during a trade I change my SL, the only last one is noted in history, what doesn't give a proper view of strategy, so not sure what's your purpose Steve..

It's so that I can see the number of pips that are either locked in for profit or that the trade would currently take in a full loss.
As I said, I'm lazy, computers were designed to save me having to take one figure away from the other.

It allows me to at a glance see if my trade has moved into the black and by how much.
