Here are some of the improvements needed from a traders perspective in cTrader Copy to enable
us to asses the quality of the strategy and to work with the platform:

1. Add the real DD (=Biggest fall  from highest Equity to the lowest Equity after (withdrawals and deposits ignored))
   preferably highest dailyDD (last x months) and highest DD (last x months) and in the  period overview graph
   (like the way they are showing max&min balance.)
2. Forbid -,_ ,.,space and dots and hidden characters and case insensitive in StrategyNames to stop name confusion
3. Alert followers when Equity is withdrawn by the signal provider
4. Make trades visible to life followers ASAP
5. Enable followers to exit trades or change/set stoplosses or set the Copytrades in a seperate User
   manageable account. The method used now is not precise enough.
6. Strategy Datasheet (# of pos,EqDD,balDD,wins,losses,avg win,avg loss and some sortino stuff per
   a definable period) available by API or scrapable web ui.
7. On which broker and pricefeed the strategy runs on.
8. Set Max equityloss  as a percentage instead of an absolute number.
9. Volatility indication last x months.
10. Recovery factor as column (from @SmallStep) calculate this ratio into stats of a signal  & provide as filter criterium
11. Win ratio as column (from @SmallStep) 
12. Sort/Filter on criteria by column (partial from @SmallStep)  and Column chooser (like history overview)
13. Make copyprovider Homepage listing all it's strategies. (@Miquel)
     

More wishes in the replies please!
 

I would also add need a REAL TIME LIVE equity drawdown. Many time, some strategy providers are loosing a percentage of the total equity for some minutes, I would need to be informed about that in order to get a measure of this RISK.

RE: RE:

Added : Give a yes/no option to open already existing positions when starting to copy a strategy
Reason:
Start copying opens all existing open orders of the copy  provider by default.
Most of the profitable positions are already a long way in their profit run and have an increased loss riks when opened half way.
The standard should be NOT to open existing positions to avoid such unneccesary risks.
