Alpha Trader Expert Advisors

Expert Advisors

Expert Advisors can be attached to charts so that a popup alert will display anytime a buy or sell strategy generates a signal. 

To create an Expert Advisor, open a chart, and click the Expert Advisors, Create New Expert Advisor menu.

Simply type a name, description, message, a buy script, and a sell script (using the TradeScript).

The message will be displayed in the popup window whenever an expert advisor generates a signal. Users may enclose constants within brackets, separated by a pipe character. For example, users may write text such as the following: "The SMA just crossed [over|under] the close, generating a [buy|sell] signal". The first value will be interpreted for long positions while the second value will be interpreted for short positions. User can also use HTML formatted text such as <b></b> for bold, <font color=red></font> for red text, etc. Users can save his/her script by clicking on the Save button and can also check the preview of the user’s scripts by clicking on the Preview button, an Alert popup message will appear showing the message user save in the EA script at the bottom of the screen.
