different default strategy parameters for diff. instruments

Postby cayo » 29 Aug 2012

Really liking multicharts.net so far. It's working well with IB and everything seems well thought-out.

Just one basic question, for the various exit strategies that one can choose from (master, bracket, breakeven, etc), how does one set different default parameters for different instruments? For example if I'm trading ES where the ticks are .25 as opposed to CL where the ticks are more granular at .01, my master strategy is going to have different tick levels for the various profit targets, stops, etc.

Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the very basic question, but I haven't been able to figure this one out.

Hello cayo,

You can use Entry and Exit Strategies Templates to have different default parameters for different instruments. Please see instructions in the following MC Wiki article: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... Template_3
