The starting point for recording and analysing trades is when an Order is placed with the broker.
Orders that are placed with the broker are entered on the 'Order Screen'. If a trade order is filled then an easy mouse click will enter the trade details on the Main Screen. This will record and allow you to analyse the trade. Unfilled and cancelled orders can be easily deleted, again with an easy click of the mouse.
The Orders Screen in The Margin Account Calculator can do the following:
Enter Filled Trades Directly to the Main Screen for permanent record keeping.
Create a Stop Loss (“Exit”) order when an order is filled.
Deal with partial profit taking.
Keep track of all Open Orders (Good till Cancelled Orders)
Keep notes about the trade, if required.
Stop Loss orders can be Related to open trades on the main screen. This is to allow you to analyse and determine the current risk being taken with every trade.
The Screen shot shows a sample of trades entered on the Orders Screen.
