things about tradetron that drive me mad after 2 years

been running algos on tradetron for a while now and mostly its fine but few things still annoy me daily

broker token expiring every single morning. i have to sit and login before 9 just for this. if i forget or im travelling the whole day is gone, strategies just sit there doing nothing. this is 2026 why is this still manual. i ended up building something for myself to auto regen it because i kept missing it. works fine now but i shouldnt have had to

stats are per deployment only. yes i can see total pnl of all strategies but thats just a number today. there is no combined equity curve, no combined drawdown, nothing that tells me what my whole book did last month or how deep it went down together. i have to open each strategy stats page one by one and note it down. for 20 strategies thats not happening daily

the stats page not counting todays trades. so till EOD your total pnl there is basically yesterdays number. confusing when you check mid day and think something is wrong

and when you re add a strategy with share code it creates a new entry instead of updating the old one. old one just sits there dead. took me a while to figure out why some strategies stopped showing in my tracking

pnl also before charges but everyone knows that one already

what else annoys you all, curious if im the only one bothered by the stats part

If you sell algo strategies, screenshots are probably costing you subscribers

I've been on both sides of this — subscribed to a few strategy sellers, and now running my own strategies.

What kills conversion isn't bad performance. It's that nobody believes a screenshot. I've watched genuinely good strategies fail to sell because the only proof was a cropped P&L image, and mediocre ones sell fine because the seller had something checkable.

Four things I've found actually move the needle:

Show the drawdown.

Counter-intuitive, but a page admitting "max drawdown 20%, currently 19 days underwater" converts better than one showing only green days. Anyone who has actually traded knows a green-only record is a lie, and the second they suspect you're hiding something, you're done.

Show it live, not as of last Tuesday.

The most common subscriber message is "how's it doing today?" If the answer is something they can check themselves, you stop answering that fifty times a week.

Show net, not gross.

Most platforms report P&L before brokerage and STT. On one of my strategies that gap was 22% — ₹12,456 gross became ₹9,684 after brokerage, STT, exchange charges, GST and stamp duty. If a subscriber works that out after joining, you've lost them. Better they see the real number up front.

Have the boring stats ready.

Win rate, profit factor, and how much of your profit came from your best 5 days. Mine was 62% on one strategy, which was uncomfortable to learn but is exactly what a sophisticated buyer will ask about. If your top 5 days are most of your profit, that's worth knowing before someone else points it out.

None of this needs fancy tooling — I've seen people do it well with a shared Google Sheet that updates daily. The point is moving off static images to something a prospect can verify themselves.

Curious what's worked for others selling strategies here. Is anyone doing anything better than screenshots?
