Back Testing Values
The back testing values can be found right below the chart window.
1. Initial Balance: Enter the amount you would like the Autopilot to start calculating from.
2. Fees: Enter in any trading fees you'll have for Futures. For Forex this should usually be $0.00 because commission is included in the spread.
3. Start Analysis: The starting month, day, year, and time you would like the Autopilot to back test from.
4. End On: The month, day, year, and time you would like the Autopilot to stop calculating.

Graph
Clicking the Graph button will bring up a line graph on the bottom-half of your screen that will allow you to see how your Autopilot settings would have done over any given period of time.
By right clicking on the chart, you receive a right click menu, where you can make visual adjustments to the chart. You can select whether you would like to see the graph displayed as a line or histogram, whether the line chart is filled, and if you want the graph to include the initial balance stated above.
Trades
Clicking the Trades button will bring up a spreadsheet on the bottom-half of your screen to show all the details of each trade that has been placed with the Autopilot.
You’ll see each trade, whether it was a buy or sell, the entry and exit times, the profit and loss, fees and balances.
By double clicking on any single trade listed in the table, Track ‘n Trade will automatically center that trade on the screen, and highlight the buy or sell signal that generated that trade.
Log
Clicking on the Log button will give you complete information about every trade that has been placed by the Autopilot.
This log is used to analyze the live trading performance, allowing you to see each step taken by the system, and Track ‘n Trade's interaction with the market, and what intervention was taken by the user.
