There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider
whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read,
understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker
before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
With C2 Explorer is it possible to show the ratio of funds reserved to maintain open positions to total equity for particular system for each day? For example, for stocks it will be simply ratio of open positions cost to equity, for futures and options - ratio of required margin to equity. Not sure what it should be for forex.
If you are not looking for a TimeSeries plot, you can use the below code to get a table of the desired data.
TABLE = (from sys in C2SYSTEMS
// where sys.SystemId == 97468745
select new {sys.SystemId, sys.SystemName, sys.MarginUsed, sys.OpenEquity, sys.Cash}
);
If you need a TimeSeries plot, it’s possible and easy for stocks systems like you pointed out. For futures systems, you will however need to maintain a list for Margins per symbol as provided here.
Feature Request to C2 - Will be great, if in the future C2Explorer would provide a Database interface for querying margin based on symbol (C2SYMBOLS).
