Is there a possibility to add a text comment to a trade via “Spreadsheet System For Trading”, which I can evaluate later via “Trade Activity Log”?

Yes. Refer to:

Thank you very much for the quick reply,
I have activated and assigned the text parameter.
However, I do not see the information in the Trade Activity Log.
What am I doing wrong?

We tested this, and the text tag works properly. Make sure you set this input to Yes: Spreadsheet Study Inputs: Support Order Text Tag Cell

And set the corresponding cell in column J on the Spreadsheet Sheet.

This will be in the Note column in the Trade Activity Log:

However, I do not see the information in the Trade Activity Log.

Both the main order, and attached orders which are defined on the Trade Window all had the text tag set on them which shows up in the Note field in the Trade Activity Log.

Thank you very much.
I did everything as you described.

1. Study - Set Support Order Text Tag Cell (in 69) - Yes
2. Spreadsheet Cell J102 - Order Text Tag - "my Note"

Strangely enough, the following is always displayed in the Trade Activity Log: the name of my “xxx.twconfig”

Make sure this option is unchecked/disabled:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Set >> Use Config Name as Text Tag

We will update the documentation regarding this.
