Calculate the maximum favorable price reached after TP closure

Title: Calculate the maximum favorable price reached after TP closure

I would like to request a feature that calculates how far the market continued moving in favor of a trade after it was closed at take profit (TP).

This would help traders evaluate whether their TP targets are too conservative and optimize their risk/reward strategies.

Suggested functionality:

  1. For trades closed at TP, continue tracking the market price after the actual exit.

  2. Record the maximum favorable price reached after the exit (highest BID for long trades and lowest ASK for short trades).

  3. Stop tracking when the price retraces by 1R from the best price reached, where 1R is the distance between the original entry price and the initial stop-loss.

  4. Display the maximum favorable price, its timestamp, and the maximum potential R-multiple measured from the original entry.

  5. Ideally, also show the maximum pullback before reaching that best price.

  6. Display this information in the trade history and optionally mark the best price directly on the chart.

  7. Allow these values to be exported in CSV format.

If the historical price data does not allow an exact result to be determined, please mark it as approximate or unavailable rather than displaying a misleading value.

This feature should be available only during post-trade analysis, without revealing future price information during backtesting.

Example:

A trade is closed at +1R, but the market later reaches +2.5R before retracing by 1R from its peak.

The trade history would show:

  • Actual result: +1R

  • Maximum favorable price: [price]

  • Maximum potential result: +2.5R

  • Maximum price timestamp: [date/time]

This would be extremely useful for analyzing TP efficiency and comparing different exit strategies.

Thank you for considering this feature.
