The semiautomatic setups are useful for those who, even following a known rule setup, prefer to have full control over the selection of signals, and the management of targets and stops.
Using a semiautomatic approach we can fully auto trade a setup with the benefit of choosing which trade setups we want to trade. And once we have a position, we can leave the default target and stop or move them to our desired place.
This is a description of what is possible and what is not :
A Semi Automatic Setup can :
- Show current trade setup the same way its associated indicator does.
- Trade all signals the same way the associated strategy does.
- Place orders on SIM, LIVE, Market Replay and Simulated Feed
- Trade on Market Replay at Full Speed ( 500 x )
A Semi Automatic Setup can NOT :
- Show Historical Trades
- Be used on Strategy Analyzer
- Be used on Strategy Optimizer
What Is a semiautomatic Setup ?
- It is a Custom Indicator and a Custom Strategy. Both with same name
- The Indicator send signals to the Strategy, so the Setup parameters are defined into the Indicator.
- The Strategy just receives signals from the Indicator, so its only parameters are the trade size, targets and stop.
- We can change settings on the Indicator without disabling the Strategy
How we use it ?
- First we add the Indicator to the Chart and set its Input parameter until we verify that entries correspond to our setup
- Then we add the strategy with correct trade size, default target and stop to same chart. And enable the strategy.
- As soon the strategy is enabled we get a new tool bar on the chart menu indicating the name of the Setup, and the options to enable Next Long and Next Short Signals.
- Once the selected signal appears, and its entry order gets a filled, we can manage the position targets and stop moving them with the mouse on another chart with chart trader enabled
- Orders can also be moved through the Orders Tab
