Your case for System Performance Indicators is a good one.
A further idea... there should be no need for User code to accomplish
this. The plots should be a native feature of AB (just like the Equity

Since I ignored the exchange issue, feel free to elaborate your own

IB has an Market Time order of OPG which you have to find somewhere in
the details and turn it on so you can select it instead of MKT, GTC,

IB allows you to automate buying at open (set Time In Force to

Absolutely. Average 126% for the last three years.

Backtest helps a lot to pull the trigger when you are down 40%.

Just small bets and small wins/losses, and a lot of them.
