Strategy Orders Monitor

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 TradingServer process is closed. One can set up the frequency of information updates in the Strategy Orders Monitor settings.
Strategies and orders from Portfolio Trader are not displayed.
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.
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.
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:
NetProfit = i_ClosedEquity
Equity = i_openequity
MP = i_MarketPosition * i_CurrentContracts
Avg Entry Price = i_AvgEntryPrice
OpenProfit = i_ClosedEquity - i_openequity
