how to see my win/loss in simulation mode? grep through the log?

Profit/Loss is calculated by comparing the balance after a trade to balance when AidoATP was first started. However, trades are not performed in simulation mode so both balances will be the same. If a percentage profit/loss is reported in simulation mode it will be because of a change in the BTC price since startup.

But check a few posts back for how to extract profit/loss info from logfile:

what the quickest way to see the profit and lose

If you are using Linux just grep the log file for the word profit:

      grep -i profit aidoatp.log

If on Windows I suppose you can do something like the following from a DOS prompt:

      type aidoatp.log | find /I "profit"


This will allow you to use the log timestamps to compare profits/losses made to what market conditions were at a certain time, helping you pick the best trading logic.
