If I am able to write an automated strategy or want to test an existing one against the markets in practice mode, how can I see the results? Obviously I want to set an automation to run on a load of markets and not sit watching each event in real time, which is OK for a single run test or just a few.

I would like to see the result (P&L) by market and probably (ideally) the total 'invested' along with the running total P&L

Thanks in advance - I hope it's not a silly question

But be aware that markets in practice mode won't behave exactly the same as in real mode because you aren't becoming part of the market. Personally I would use practise mode only to check a rulesfile is triggering as I would expect, then move onto real mode at very small stakes to test for profitability.
