CFEB - Combined Feedback
The combined feedback feature complements the module-specific feedback system by recording and returning key metrics aggregated across all currently executed modules. Unlike the module-specific inspector, this feature focuses on five core aspects, each stored in a dedicated location within the profile folder. Refer to the table below for a detailed overview of the input parameters relevant to this section.
| Input variable within MetaTrader (Identifier in SET file) | Default value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| > (CFEB) Inspector feedback state (IN_enmCfebInspectorState) | OFF | Records the latest performance metrics, drawdown statistics, and system diagnostics. Path in profile folder: /Feedback/_Combined/Inspector/Inspector.csv Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (CFEB) Inspector feedback refresh interval (ms) (IN_nCfebInspectorRefreshInterval) | 1000 | Defines how frequently the inspector feedback file is refreshed. Lower values result in more frequent file operations, which can significantly slow down execution in Strategy Tester mode due to increased disk I/O. Conversely, higher values reduce system load but may compromise feedback granularity. For live operation, a refresh interval of 1000 ms typically offers a balanced trade-off between performance and data accuracy. |
| > (CFEB) Present trades feedback state (IN_enmCfebPresentTradesState) | OFF | Captures all currently open trades. Useful for real-time monitoring and decision-making. Path in profile folder: /Feedback/_Combined/PresentTrades/PresentTrades.csv Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (CFEB) Present trades feedback interval (ms) (IN_nCfebPresentTradesRefreshInterval) | 1000 | Defines how often open trades are logged to the feedback file. Lower values increase logging frequency and system load, which may affect performance during backtesting. A 1000 ms interval is generally optimal for live operation. |
| > (CFEB) Past trades feedback state (IN_enmCfebPastTradesState) | OFF | Logs completed trades. This dataset is ideal for generating trading journals or analyzing system performance using external algorithms. Path in profile folder: /Feedback/_Combined/PastTrades/PastTrades.csv Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (CFEB) Meta data feedback state (IN_enmCfebMetaDataState) | OFF | Stores system metadata such as start time, profile folder path, and other contextual information. Path in profile folder: /Feedback/_Combined/MetaData/MetaData.csv Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (CFEB) Trade screenshots state (IN_enmCfebScreenshotsState) | OFF | When enabled, captures screenshots at each trade opening and closing event. These visuals aid in post-trade analysis and documentation. This feature may significantly slow down execution in Strategy Tester mode. Path in profile folder: /Feedback/_Combined/Screenshots/ Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
When all combined feedback features are enabled, the output folder will appear as follows:
