Capital Adds & Draws with Total:

This Trading Blox Builder feature provides a trader  an option to add or draw capital from a trading account.  

 

Values for an Add, or a Draw can be created by keyboard entry where the user enters a transaction date and an amount that adds or draws down the value.  

Values entered are recorded on the test date that will match a simulation test date where the value change can be applied as one of the transaction during the After Trade Day script section equity adjustments.  

 

Global Parameter's Fees Parameters can be enabled so the expected fee amounts are entered as reduction records in the Capital Adds Draws Transaction file (See User's Guide Fee Accruals topic for details).

 

As capital record transactions are recorded, and each transaction record date passes the value of the summed transaction to that date are applied, and also can be reported.  

 

Each time a capital value are added or removed the Capital Adds Draws file is updated.
