Post #29473 - In reply to #29279

Have been agitating for a few of these features as well via "next quantum leap". Have wanted to see monthly stats on accounts for ages and wrote my own to get around it via automated data extraction - covered elsewhere. Random selecxtion would surely be preferable to skewing to top of alphabetical list, but remember "randomness" has to be repeatable for backtesting. My alternative suggestion which I'm getting more keen on is to have a way to at least set a priority over the top of these options. So I'd want candidates to be taken from one or more strategies before being taken say from another less successful (statistically) strategy. Perhaps that's an indicator to a more immediate option, perhaps select between candidates by which strategy it comes from, taking the statistically most successful above another, and then if from same strategy take "random". So a candiate ranking/priority setting is needed or a way to effect the same. Another option I'd like to think worth trying is to use ARM metrics to help select the best candidate. Surely we can at least attempt a few more "smarter" solutions... whether they improve things or not we'll only know once we try them.
