Configuring an Indicator to Review Closed Trades by Magic Number and Date Range
Summary
This document describes a trading-platform indicator for displaying statistics from closed trades. Users can optionally filter the history by a trade's magic number, allowing results to be isolated by strategy or identifier. A magic number can be entered directly or selected automatically, and the display can distinguish profitable, losing, and neutral outcomes with separate colors.
The settings also control the history window, with options spanning all available history or common recent periods, and adjust presentation details such as vertical offset, font, size, and whether timestamps appear. The text explains configuration options but does not specify which statistics are calculated, how they are aggregated, or how the indicator handles commissions and other costs. It offers no strategy analysis or performance evidence, so its value is mainly as a trade-review and reporting utility rather than a method for generating trading signals.
