How to Improve Autotrading

Postby StefanoSF » 11 Apr 2013

The purpose of this thread is to discuss ways to improve MC 8.5 Auto trading.

Here is one idea.

1) Add Strategy Signal linking
2) Add Strategy Signal grouping
-----------
1) Signal Linking:
Simplify strategy development by allowing for "and" "or" signal linking.
Below is an Entry example but Exits would work the same.

Enter Long if:
Signal 1
or
Signal 2
or
Signal 3
and
Signal 4

2) Within Format Objects / Signal, add the ability to group signals by Enties and Exits.

Please vote for it here: http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue ... no=MC-1308

Thanks TJ. The idea behind the signal linking is to make the whole process faster and smoother and to get away from coding/debugging when possible.

Do you mean "Strategy" linking?
I know the terms are confusing, both "Strategy" and "Signal" have been used to describe a study that processes buy/sell orders.

I'm referring to signals used by strategies which proceed a buy and sell orders. MA LE, RSI LE, Stops & Targets. It would be so much easier to build complex strategies if we could simply "hook" signals together: ie if (MA and RSI) or MACD then buy...
