'''Strategy Orders Monitor''' is a separate application that is supported for MultiCharts64.
It visualizes orders generated by the strategy in real-time, during [[Data Playback]] and auto trading.
The application has no influence on the strategy’s logic, calculation speed and order generation.
'''Strategy Orders Monitor''' information relates to the current working session of MultiCharts and will be cleared when the [[MultiCharts Processes|TradingServer]] process is closed. One can set up the frequency of information updates in the '''Strategy Orders Monitor''' settings.<br>
Strategies and orders from Portfolio Trader are not displayed.<br>
To open '''Strategy Orders Monitor''', in the '''Main''' menu select '''File''', then point to '''New''' and click '''New Strategy Orders Monitor''' Window.

== General Mode ==
'''Strategy Orders Monitor''' is started in general mode.<br>
It displays the list of strategies calculating in real-time, Data Playback or auto trading. It also includes strategies which were calculating before in one of the specified modes and finished the calculation. If the strategy has stopped calculating in real-time, its information stops updating and its line turns grey in the list. One can remove such lines from the list.<br>
The strategies are grouped by MultiCharts instances and workspaces. The list of strategies includes strategy names and inputs, as well as the main financial metrics and calculation start/end time. The financial metrics correspond to the values of the following keywords:<br>
NetProfit = i_ClosedEquity<br>
Equity = i_openequity<br>
MP = i_MarketPosition * i_CurrentContracts<br>
Avg Entry Price = i_AvgEntryPrice<br>
OpenProfit = i_ClosedEquity - i_openequity<br>
=== General mode settings ===
Click on the gear icon to open the '''Settings''' window. Adjust the settings on the '''General''' tab if required.<br>
* Move the '''Update frequency''' slider to set up the information update timeout in seconds. It is set to 1 sec by default.<br>
* In the '''Spreadsheet view settings''' one can check/uncheck the columns to be displayed and set their order by dragging the item and dropping it in the desired place.<br>
* Click '''Use as default''' to apply the settings to all new '''Strategy Orders Monitor''' windows.<br>
