Making Journals Account Specific.
Making Journals Account Specific.
03 Oct 2017, 10:23
Hi Calgo Team.
I have recently noticed that all journal information gets written to a single monthly journal.
For me that means that 8 Demo Accounts and Two Live Accounts are streaming to the one journal.
No account information is sent to the journal so it makes cross referencing extremely difficult.
Sorting through 8 Demo Account transactions to find One Live Account Trade is very impractical.
When other people use my computer to trade on their accounts , all their journal information gets saved in my journal.
One of my monthly journals has over 350000 lines of text. Too Much , I think.
Seperating this information would make the information more accessable .
( I would sort the information myself but seeing as there is no account information . It is impossible and therefore makes the information worthless to me ).
May I suggest an Account specific journal , so that each account has separate journal information .
This should be easily achieved by changing the Path Name for the journal file simply adding "Account.Number " to the file name.
eg..........."/BrokerName/journal-2017-10-" + Account.Number + " .txt" ............
Or creating separate Account Directories for each Broker Directory.
eg..........."/BrokerName/Acc-12345678/journal-2017-10.txt"
A Simple Solution To A Simple Problem.
