Hi Ed Ok i tried to understand what you wrote me. lets assume. You donwload your daily statements from IB . I done it also . I donwload it in word format. Then i open it and copy the data in a textfile. This is what i get. (from my papertrading account). The data looks like yours only with some Taps. I thing until no its ok ...

You say then i could read this with amibroker ( ok i need a software for this and i hope you will help me ) . So when i do all this steps what you telling me i will get something like a chart in AB what shows me the performance of my trades ..? I do not have understand how you read this textfile into Amibroker... Do you mean you Import it ...(import wizard import ascii) But there you could only import quotes !? and also this part with the static variables i dont understand. maybe it would be more clear when i understand how you read this in AB. But ok now im a little bit confused. i hope you or also the others cuold help me to solve this. regards christos --- In [email protected], "Edward Pottasch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi, > > I do not have time today and what I have written in AFL is specific for my system but I can tell what I do.

The "trick" I use is for the software to recognize if the line it reads is a long entry or a short exit etc. is to save information for each symbol in static variables. For instance the IB data may look like: > > ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 ISLAND -56 31.2800 1,751.68 -1.00 0.00 P > ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 NYSE -100 31.2800 3,128.00 -0.28 0.00 P > ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 IDEAL -100 31.2800 3,128.00 0.00 0.00 P > ABX 2007-05-11, 11:01:18 NYSE 156 30.1000 -4,695.60 -1.00 0.00 P > ABX 2007-05-11, 11:01:18 NYSE 100 30.1000 -3,010.00 -0.28 0.00 P > > save all relevant information in static variables and check for a sign() change of the number of shares. If it finds the positions is closed then the static variables are removed and the relavant information is stored in Composites at the appropriate date. > > Now it is easy to copy and paste info from IB every day and keep trach of your trades and all kind of statistics you lie to examine.
