I have problem with the way VjF strategy logging is working. Strategy itself work as supposed but logging dont filter properly what I should see.
First I select strategy and clink on show logs button:

Next pic. show that on opened window I see unnecessary other strategy runs that executed different pairs at different time:

That wouldnt be too much problem still, I selected right one based on starting time but now you see it have empty "instrument" field for unknown reason, although on the right we can see it use USD/CAD as an instrument that I selected on starting dialog. So far I could still manage this, its not ideal but whatever, so I click on "view logs" button to expect to see logs for this particular run...:
Image
Well, thats not good, it show logs of all positions including non VjF related that I traded manually. Its too much mess I cant dig my UCAD strategy run from it. I bet it have something to do with previous pic. showing "instrument" field empty, but dunno how to solve this. Also I cant understand why it was empty when I clearly used defaultinstrument variable and opening dialog was asking me for the pair. Guess it have something to do with that variable being on its own even if I use it, but dont know how to solve this.
I would really like to have nice filtered log, any help greatly appreciated.

Greetings.

Strategy Log shows all actions done on account while strategy was running plus all messages and errors from the strategy. There is no filter.
You can identify strategy actions by notes like "by the strategy "xxxxxxx": from the remote server".
"Instrument" field has to show subscribed instruments. We will take care of this problem. Thank you for your report.

Best regards, Support team.

Thanks for reply. So I understand that empty instrument is not a problem on my side and will be fixed.
Regarding logs, this is very wrong and render it completely useless. I generated 5 pages in just short period of time, how am I supposed to filter optically all that junk? What if strategy run for days/weeks and later user want to see all its logs from beginning? And why you guys think user want to click on that log button in the first place? Because he expect it to be related only to that particular run on the left that he selected! If I want to see everything I may as well just go to positions report page, which is much cleaner anyway. If I select specific strategy in specific slot and it give me option to view its logs, I would expect to see its logs and not some other unrelated stuff, right? Sounds much more logical to me at least. In any case, logs as they are in current form are basically useless, I may as well use traditional position report page to save a time. Really hope u`ll fix it down the road in the future.

regards
