accurate performance tracking
you can quickly pinpoint which system has a drawdown or which one is performing exceptionally. this knowledge supports faster decision-making—e.g., deciding to pause an underperforming robot or allocate more capital to a winning strategy.
simpler analysis & logging
rather than combing through logs or the history tab, you have a concise, single “panel” that aggregates each ea’s total closed profit, deal counts, and relevant comment fields. this helps with record-keeping, strategy optimization, and even client reporting if you manage accounts for others.full code attached.
