I want to start tracking the average holding time of my trades. Unfortunately, it seems as if the Trade Activity Log only shows the Average Time in Winning/Losing Trades per contract. Which is not helpful for me, because I trade multiple contracts and usually take my first profit quickly and hold the rest of my position longer. Therefore, my first take-profit completely skews the calculated holding time in the Trade Activity Log. What I need is the complete holding time of my trades from flat to flat. Is there any way to view this information in Sierra Chart? Or do I need to export the Trade Activity data and calculate it myself? |

There is a "Duration" column on the "Trades" tab of the "Trade Activity Log". Does this not give you what you need?

Thanks for pointing this out John. That is indeed exactly what I need! I overlooked this because I was looking in the wrong place (in the Statistics tab rather than the Trades tab). |
