Data collector

The Data Collector account feature automatically records key account metrics (equity, balance, and floating P&L) over time, providing valuable insights into your account's performance. Configure the collection interval and select which metrics to track based on your needs.

Data is recorded only when values change (smart detection), optimizing storage while ensuring every data point is meaningful. View your collected data through an interactive dashboard with time period filters, line charts, and statistics.

Data retention is automatically limited to 90 days maximum, with older records cleaned up automatically.

Configuration

• Activate Data Collector: Toggle to enable or disable the feature. When disabled, no new data is collected, but existing historical data is preserved.

• Collection Interval (seconds): Defines how frequently the system checks for metric changes.

  • Minimum: 30 seconds

  • Default: 60 seconds

  • Recommended: Adjust based on your trading style (day traders: 30-60s, swing traders: 300-600s, position traders: 3600s)

• Record Equity: Enable to track your total account value including open positions over time.

• Record Balance: Enable to monitor your base account balance excluding floating profit/loss.

• Record Floating P&L: Enable to track unrealized profit/loss from open positions.

• Normalize Values: When enabled, normalizes all values when fetching data via REST endpoint to hide real account size. Uses the first record's balance (or equity if balance not recorded, or floating PnL if neither recorded) as reference point and scales it to 100,000. The same scaling factor is then applied to ALL records, preserving relative performance and growth patterns while obscuring actual account values. Example: if first balance is 50,000, all values are doubled (factor 2.0), making first balance = 100,000, but subsequent balances scale proportionally. Data is always stored as-is without normalization. Use this feature when sharing performance data without exposing real capital.

• Retention Days: Fixed at 90 days (read-only). Older records are automatically deleted to optimize storage.

Note: At least one metric (Equity, Balance, or Floating P&L) must be enabled for data collection to function. You can enable multiple metrics for comprehensive analysis.
