Hi, once I entered manually a trade, is there a way, to choose an automated system to handle the trade? For example in some cases, I may want an automated trailing stop to kick in, while in some other cases, I may want the trade to be handled with automated partial profits targets and breakeven stops. I'm going to write the trade handling systems in ASCIL of course.... but I'm unsure how I can then decide to "enable" a system to handle the trades after they are placed manually. How should this be done? |

We would recommend using an internal state, remembered through a persistent variable: ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.GetPersistentIntFast() The initial state is the automated trading system is disabled/false. And then when a position comes into existence the automated trading system can enable itself by setting its state to true.

Thank you. This is exactly what i wanted to know. I’m also thinking that keyboard shortcut can be used to change state of the persistant variable. I read how ascil study can receive kb shortcuts. |
