I would like to recommend adding log scale option to the Equity Curve tab. The Community Visualizers do have the option, but they do not show the exposure (light green part).

If adding the Cash curve to the Community.Visualizers suits you, I'll mark this for a later release.

Yes. It would really help if you could add the Cash curve to the "Net Profit+Drawdown%" and "Equity+Drawdown%".

Is there any special reason you can not add a log option to the Equity Curve tab?

We'll try requesting it from Fidelity.

I would find a "Equity + Drawdown (in cash $)" curve to be very useful.

I'm not going to promise, because these Zedgraph combo charts were getting somewhat tricky at times. Will take a look. Anyway, the Log scale on Equity tab request is entered.

I would recommend adding an option to Save Orders to a spreadsheet and Load Orders from a spreadsheet (from an "Orders" window).

I don't think the ability to Load Orders from external sources is as innocent and simple as it sounds!

Regarding an option to Save Orders from the Orders window, you can implement loading it in a 3rd party app right now. Under the Data folder (see the User Guide > Data > Where data are stored), a file called Orders.xml can be found which contains orders in XML format.

P.S. Note: Wealth-Lab is designed to ignore changes to its XML files made in external application while Wealth-Lab is running.

P.S. One more thing. By design, Cash can take negative values due to the difference between the basis price and the entry price under certain conditions in Wealth-Lab (e.g. when using margin 2:1 and a high percentage of equity allocated to a position). However, by design of "Equity + Drawdown", neither equity nor cash will ever go below 0 even if they do (there's a drawdown pane below for that).
