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: green;">Green: profitable trade</span> | |||
<br><span style="color: red;">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> | |||
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note:''' Connecting historical order with a line is quite conditional and may get spoiled if there was any market position change that was not taken into account in the platform.</div> | |||
These conditions must be met to plot the connecting line correctly: | |||
* All market position changes and order executions took place when MultiCharts was running and the broker profile was connected; | |||
* All order statuses were received from the broker; | |||
* The first order on the chart is an entry. | |||
