Strategy signals are visually shown on the chart using arrows. If a strategy uses several different entry signals, then it can be difficult to see clearly which entry signal was exited.
Order Linking draws a line from the entry signal to the exit signal so that it is possible to visually match an entry signal with its exit signal.
Order linking also makes it clear which trades are profitable or not profitable on the chart.
The lines are color coded. The default colors for the lines are as follows:
<span style="color: red;">Green: profitable trade</span>
<br><span style="color: green;">Red: unprofitable trade</span>
To change the settings:
# Open the '''Format Signal''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSignal}}</span>
# Select the '''Signal''' tab.
# Select the strategy and select the '''Format''' button. A window to format the strategy will appear.
# Select the '''Connecting Line''' tab.
# Check the Show Connecting Line checkbox to show the connecting lines.
# In the drop-down lists, select the setting for the '''Line Style''', '''Line Weight''', '''Profitable Line Color''', and '''Unprofitable Line Color'''.
# Select the '''OK''' button.<br>
