Post From: Trading: Closed Profit/Loss Study

Thank you for the clarification.
What I'm trying to achieve is creating a statistical dashboard to be able to view my trading stats at a glance.
I need to monitor below metrics for all pairs I trade.

-total profit/loss: (Sierra study is Trading: Closed Profit/Loss study), also in the trade activity log.
-daily profit loss: (Sierra study is Trading: Daily Profit/Loss study), also in the trade activity log
-Profit Factor: exists in the trade activity log
-Pessimistic Return Ratio: N/A in Sierra.
-Average R-Multiple (Expectancy): N/A in Sierra.
-Return/Drawdown Ratio: N/A in Sierra.
-Modified Sharpe Ratio: N/A in Sierra.
-Risk of Ruin: N/A in Sierra.
-Average Drawdown (%): N/A in Sierra.
-Worst-case Drawdown (%): N/A in Sierra.
-Percent of Equity of longest drawdown: N/A in Sierra.
-SQN (equity curve's linearity): N/A in Sierra.

I see that Sierra Trade Activity Log can export Trade Activity, Trade Statistics, Trades, Period Trade Stats, Trade Statistics for Charts data. It is a manual method. I will talk to my programmer to develop a study by using sc.GetTradePositionForSymbolAndAccount() function of ACSIL to collect these data and write back into a file to share with Market System Analyzer and/or Performance Analyzer.
The second option of mine would be to create Sierra studies to collect/draw these metrics.

Currently, I can't even define the balance of my account in Sierra as LMAX does not share this data over FIX.

I'm planning to use this tool http://www.adaptrade.com/MSA/index.htm and/or this for https://profsoftware.com/tsadd/perfana/ position sizing optimization and performance metrics tracking. (The ones I needed are enumerated above)
If you suggest a different supplier which is integrated already with Sierra, please let me know.

I use TradeStation for backtesting, walk forward optimization, Monte Carlo simulation to test my candidate strategies before trading them. As I trade via Sierra Chart (As it is one of the best charting and trading platform available in the market per my experience and research, I have tested TradeStation, MultiCharts, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader, AmiBroker) I need my trade stats to evaluate my ongoing performance. I believe trading/charting and performance evaluation are different specialties.

I would be happy to see you offering different support levels as I'm planning to be a loyal customer of yours.
Thanks again.
