Hi,

Is there a way to automatically plot a chart based on the P/L figures in the trading stats

I'd like to plot :

1. Cumulative P/L (i.e. account balance against time)
2. The (10,25,50) moving average of 1.

The reason being is I want to see my performance against a moving average, so I can visually see good and bad periods

Thanks

Use the Trading: Closed Profit/Loss study to plot the P/L versus time. Then add a Moving Average study that references the data in the Closed Profit/Loss study.

The Simple Moving Average is referenced below, but you can use whichever Moving Average you like. The documentation for the available studies can be found here:
Technical Studies Reference

The documentation for how to add studies to the chart can be found here:
Chart Studies: Adding/Modifying Chart Studies

The documentation for the Trading: Closed Profit/Loss study can be found here:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Data Studies

The documentation for the Simple Moving Average can be found here:
Moving Average - Simple

For instructions how to base a moving average on another study, refer to:
Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Based On - Basing a Study on Another Study
