Profit percentage shown on top and in performance page is usually profit for latest year. I think it should show total profit so far with an option for viewer to change it to "last 6 months", "last one year" and "total profit".

At this time another profit calculaton problem arises when users do not select "all trading history". Which causes profit percentage to be calculated wrongly. I think there should be a way to fix it. So that if all trading history is not selected, it shows error and instruct user to select all trading history.

Yes, a good idea. Usually the profit calculated on such accounts is 999999.....% which makes all analysis on that account incorrect.

Yes if user is given control to choose between variable options, it will be good. In this way user will be able to check profit in a certain period.

At this time we can see monthly profits which is actually profit based on the balance at the start of montht. Currently there is no option to analyze data for customized period. It would be nice to have one.

Stick to your rules

Wow!!!! thats another good suggestion. Not only profit but all analysis for the period selected. We have an option to zoom in growth&equity graph. So maybe this feature can be further enhanced to show analysis of zoomed area.

Actually zoomed graph helps a lot when u r looking at longer trading history.

Yes, but unless u can get calculations for a specific period, it wont help. coz u can estimate something by looking at graph which can be highly wrong.
