Trade Log

The Trade Log contains an entry for every single trade in a test. The file is kept in the Results folder along with the other result files. The name of the file is "Trade Log.csv". An entry is placed in the trade log each time a trade closes. No open trades are logged here. The trades are logged in order of their completion. In order that it will always reflect the most recently executed test, the Trade Log is overwritten each time a new test is run.

Note that if "Log Trades" is disabled in Preferences (see Report Content Specification) nothing will be logged in this file. For large tests with thousands of parameter combinations, disabling this option will result in faster tests.
