Hi,

Who do not use Charts for their ATS?
Why you are doing this?
How to test or detect any wrong in your Code?

Please share your opinions

Thanks

I have written ATSs that don't use charts.

Why? The strategy trades across all NASDAQ 100 stocks, across multiple timeframes, and I couldn't face having 3 x 100 charts open at once!

For error checking during development, I used bar-by-bar print statements for each variable or output of interest. Each time I wanted to review something specific, I would update the print statements so that only what I was interested in would print during the next run. Worked fine.
 
Similar to abattia, I haven't (yet) put a lot of effort into generating/updating charts for real-time monitoring. I dump a lot of numbers and statistics to files, mostly in CSV format, some in HTML. From there, I can open the CSV files w/ Excel and generate whatever charts I want, play w/ the numbers more, etc.

Not to say that real-time charting wouldn't be beneficial... I'd love it. I've done some experimenting w/ JFreeChart and R... seems like both would get the job done. But, at least for me, with the time I have, automatic chart generation almost always takes a lower priority to other items.

ATS is the sure step to automated ruin.
