This a simple question that I'm hoping anyone who uses NT can help out with. I want to conduct some back tests but I want to measure my equity curve based on the number trades rather than the number of days.

Trade Station has a good example of this. Please look at attachment below.

Disclaimer...The attachment below is not a back test that I conducted it is an image I go from Google to clearly explain my question.

Thanks!

If you look at the difference axis one side measure Equity and the other axis measures Number Of Trades.

Thanks for the help Mike. But I respectfully say that some of us are not programmers and having to write out code will take a bit of time. I'm not saying that I don't want to dedicate the time to doing it but "at the moment" I want to focus my energies on my strengths which back testing my strategy and focusing on mastering my process.

I'll keep searching and see if something comes up that is already coded but if not I will just stick with what I have. If you wish please share some sources where I can pay for a programming service for that type of equity curve and I will gladly do so.

I will one day take the time to learn to code for NT but one thing I have learned from achieving goals is to focus on my strengths and at the moment that what I want to do. I'll take time out here and there along the way to at least start the process of learning though.

Thanks!

You don't have to be a programmer, there are countless fitness optimization types posted in that thread, just put them in NinjaTrader and run them. Ask for help in that thread if you need it.
