A guide to computerized Trade Management

Quote from HiggsBoson:

I use TradersStudio all the time.

I have a suggestion for Murray. During system development I code, check syntax, save, and run. I do this over and over. I really only need to see a message box if syntax checking fails, so why do I have to click "OK" after every syntax check? Also, when I save my program, another stupid box opens up asking me about a password. Another useless mouse click. These may seem like minor issues, but when you stay up until 4:00am running test after test, all that extra clicking gets really old. Why can't I just hit "F3" and save and check syntax at the same time, a la TradeStation?

Well it's not 1 key but Cntrl S does the save/verify.
The reason that we ask about saving anyway was because of the translator, if the code did not translate 100% perfectly using the migration tool, sometimes because the code had syntax errors in TradeStation because it was cut and pasted from a web site, I wanted a option that they could save it and go back and fix it later.

I will take added a syntax check with a single hot key under advisement for version 3.0 due out this spring

I didn't know Cntrl-S verifies as well as saves. That is much better. Thanks. :)

I have downloaded the language reference and will be going through it.

Can I ask and post questions here, on ET?

Yes ask any questions you would like.

Position sizing options?

I did some work on options in 2003. I found something interesting. You always want to use a fixed percentage of the account to buy options. This means you buy more contracts when premiums are low and less when premiums are high. This is because low volatility leads to high volatility, which means that you get extra bang as premium increase when you buy more contracts during low volatility

Sorry, I was asking what choices of position sizing your program offers.
 
I have been using TradersStudio now for over a year and I like the program very much. It will do just about anything that you can program using the Visual Basic like code.

So re trading plans and position sizing, there are no limits. Several position sizing plans ship with the product but I will let Murray enumerate on these.

The money management is totally programmable so you can do anything you would want. Please give me some examples of what you are interested in and I will explain how that can be done in TradersStudio.
