Hello Quants,

a couple of questions on the orders:

Question #1

When I run a backtest on the cloud I get the order list here below.

1a) I see there is a column “tag”. How can I add some information in the tag column form my python/c# script?
1b) Can I actually add more columns? E.g a myColumn column after the Tag one. It would be nice to be able to do it from the script strategy of course.

Question #2

Is it possible to obtain this table in HTML or even plain text when submitting a backtest on the cloud from lean cli?

Hey paulduring,

1a) Orders have diferent properties, meaning that the Liquidation order will automatically have “Liquidated” on the tag. You also can update a order tag (here)
1b) You can not add more columns but you can do the following things:
- Insights
- charting/plotting
2) You can download everything trough a JSON file when you click on the tab ‘Overview’ and ‘Download results’
- Plots will be included into the file, etc.

If you have further questions dont hesitate to ask.

Hope it helps ;)

Hi Nico Xenox,

1.a Understood. I will check the docs closely if I can SET the tag to print a value I want to (e.g. current amount of stocks held or average price)

1.b chart and plot I know of course, but I want to see some extra data aside the trades. It is SO useful to find out logic issues. I think count of stocks held and average price should be even added by default (wont work for forex/crypto but it could print the total amount of cash instead of amount of stocks).

2. Thanks I saw it now.

cheers,

Paul

Hey paulduring,

Yes I do the same for logic issues! I do it like this:

#for options:

self.Plot("Mass", "length invested options", len([x.Key for x in self.Portfolio if x.Value.Invested and x.Value.Type==SecurityType.Option]))



#for stocks:

self.Plot("Indicator", "length invested stocks", len([x.Key for x in self.Portfolio if x.Value.Invested and x.Value.Type==SecurityType.Equity]))
