Hi there,
This is my first post on the forum – first of all many thanks to all the QuantConnect team and community, there are some amazing things being developed and shared here!
I am fairly new to the platform and still very much in learning and backtesting mode. I would like to know if there is a way to customise the trade summary generated by the backtest engine? For example I would like to add a column with the fees for each trade, as well as the ATR at the time of the trade. I see the last column “Tag” on the right which is always empty, maybe there is a way to get some customise info going there?
Many thanks!

Hello and welcome to QuantConnect.
It is not possible to customize the output that appears on the QuantConnect web platform. However, you can use Log() in your code to capture custom values, such as trade statistics, indicator values and more. Check out the documentation on Logging and Debugging for further information.

Hi Halldor,

Loving QuantConnet!
