Hi,

I'd like to store extra information with the RecordTrades function about a security at the time of trade entry.

Having a list of trades is great, but I might for example want to store other stuff like: ATR of the stock, On balance volume, or another calculated value.

The idea would be, that I would then be able to search through the trade log manually and see if any correlations between profitable trades and my extra values occured.

Thus helping me to refine a system.

Maybe we can already do this..

No you can't store any additional information in the binary trade database. However the text trade database format does allow additional information to be used in commodities simulations. This could be adapted for the use that you require.
