Yes & yes. Those Test Settings are used to calculate the displayed statistics on those pages (Portfolio & Strategy grids). The intention is that users shouldn't have to wait several minutes or longer to view those pages, & that's what was happening in the first few years of OV. Ask any of our users that have been here a while. There was a lot of recalculating going on, & it was putting a strain on our servers as well. But typically what you're using those pages for is to compare Portfolios & Strategies with each other. And if we use some default Test Settings that are calculated on the server, users can view the Portfolio & Strategy statistics instantly without the constant recalculating with all the custom account settings. So that's all those Test Settings are used for. When you're viewing the stats on the Account itself or the Trades page, it's not using the Test Settings at all. On those pages it's only using the Account settings. |
