Capturing price info (and more) with each trade

I'm still trading with the SIM (and probably will be for some time) and I'd like to capture a ton of data every time I exit a trade. For example, the current ATR, size of last two bars, trend and numerous other items. After an analysis, this could help me take higher probably setups.

Is there a way to use ACSIL or alerts (or any other way) to save out this data with each trade? I can get an alert to fire, no problem, but when executing an external app from the alter, the data passed in is very limited. Perhaps with ACSIL? I couldn't find any documentation on hooking into a trade exiting.

You could use the Spreadsheet Study in combination with either the "Trading: Position Quantity" or "Trading: Total Quantity Filled" to capture the times when the trades occurred and then you can manipulate the data from there. Refer to the following:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Data Studies

Otherwise, a custom study would be the way to go. Refer to the following:
