Hello.
The stats._trades has a column called ReturnPct. By reading the docs and the source code it's not clear if the return in percentage is calculated relative to the starting capital, the current equity, or the trade volume. By reading the code:
@property def pl(self): """Trade profit (positive) or loss (negative) in cash units.""" price = self.__exit_price or self.__broker.last_price return self.__size * (price - self.__entry_price) @property def pl_pct(self): """Trade profit (positive) or loss (negative) in percent.""" price = self.__exit_price or self.__broker.last_price return copysign(1, self.__size) * (price / self.__entry_price - 1)
it's clear that the return Pct comes from the trade volume. So it would be useful to let the user know this in the docs:
"""Trade profit (positive) or loss (negative) in percent relative to trade size.""" Thank's :)
