Is it Possible to Merge Portfolio Trees together?

Postby mefTrader » 24 Jun 2011

Hi,

I have 2 seperate Portfolio trees (i.e 2 seperate .pws files). Is it possible to merge them together using a 'special' text editor?

Thanks
Morgan

If you open the PWS file in Notepad++ then you can see some information about the portfolio workspace, including the names of the added symbols. However, I'm not sure how these need to be amended in order to properly accommodate new symbols. Drag and drop between two portfolio backtesters doesn't work either. The easiest way would be to re-add your symbols into the new portfolio, i.e. merge them manually.

Hello no erocla,

You can copy/paste the instruments and signals from one strategy/portfolio into the other (using right click->copy/right click->paste or Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V). Please check the attached video.

Thank you, very usefull, but could be very much better if there's the possibility to "massive" copy entire "Strategies" (signal+instrument) and consequently, a possibility to merge an entire portfolio.

Anyway, all can be very much faster if you allow to massive import an entire workspace directly from MC to PT.
