Understand the trade performance report

[James_Archer]

I don’t understand some stuff in the Trade Performance report when I generate one for “Trades.” I’ll attach a screen shot. Looking at entry and exit price for an MNQ short trade, I see 22572.75 and 22571.75. The “profit” column says 5. Its not 5 points or ticks and 5 dollars does not seem right. What is this?

Is there an explanation of MAE, MFE, ETD and bars somewhere?

How is the “Trade number” generated?

Finally, how can I create a unique ID for each trade? Perhaps a combination of entry time and instrument?

Thanks…

I just asked copilot (AI module of windows), all these questions, and he gave me perfect answers. He is able to even explain the most obscure setting in ninjatrader or any other software program for that matter.

I didn’t realize that NT staff no longer participates here. I opened a case and they explained.
