Export Profit and Loss Summary for Each Order
I

I would like to have the ability to export a detailed summary of profit and loss for each individual order. This feature would greatly enhance my ability to track and analyze my trading performance more effectively. Having an export function for individual trade P&L would be a valuable addition to the existing portfolio analytics.

The devs could perhaps show P&L on closed orders if the brokerage provides this information; however closed orders currently disappear overnight. Also, the broker's P&L calculation per trade is not always "correct" depending on your accounting method and how trades are matched into tax lots. I actually throw out my broker's 1099-B tax form, and I would ignore their P&L calculation if it were displayed on TradersPost.
TradersPost is just a middle-man relaying trade signals to your brokerage and reporting the status of the transaction (success/fail). You should be able to download transactions and P&L statements from your brokerage directly -- if the reporting tools are inadequate, you should consider switching brokerages.

Honestly any form of data export would be great for analytics !!
It would be great to have the ability to bulk export from specific strategy and timeframe. Especially since the analytics are limited on TradersPost.

You can export the trades from TradersPost including the trading signals. Add a "strategy" field to your JSON message so you can see which signal was used for which trade. The trade data includes realized and unrealized P&L. It is messy.
It would be great if TradersPost could map additional data fields to the brokerage transactions (i.e. allow us to send an external identifier like the strategy name/id in the JSON message, and map this field to the standard "Order Reference" field on the brokerage transaction itself). This way you can download trades from your brokerage to calculate P&L and easily analyze by strategy (or whatever tag you sent to the "Order Reference" field).
