Having a drawdown per trade statistic would really sort the good traders from the 'hopers' in trading.  Lots of newer traders tend to hold trades into losing positions hoping that they become winners.  This is an untenable strategy, but helps keep up win rates and the illusion of consistent profits.  What I would like to see is a drawdown per trade - I don't know how you would get MT4 to show this, but if implemented on fxstat it would certainly make fxstat the best signal service provider site, as it would really determine that traders are trading properly.

Especially it will weed out people who were hoping for the euro shorts and holding it, or holding for euro longs hoping it will go up.

It would effectively rule out martingale strats, and prove high win rates are made with good judegment, and not just waiting for trades to come back.

Usually martingale dont last longer except a few lucky ones. But even those lucky ones have extremely high DD.

If admin is reading this - check out zulu because they have a 'high' and 'low' per trade so that you can see what the high or low pip count of the trade was - so that traders aren't just hoping for a pullback and know the best time to close trades.  The fact they employ it means it is surely implentable here as well.

Performance history download option is now available. I think drawdown per trade and other additions will also be available one by one. Actually there r so many suggestion under review. Every suggestion seems to be most important especially for the one who suggested it.
