The Define Entry/Exit Systems Dialog allows you to add new entry/exit systems and modify existing ones.

Creating a New Entry/Exit System

To create a new entry/exit system, select an entry/exit system group to add the new function to, then press the New… button under the Entry/Exit Systems list. This will display the Create an Entry/Exit System Wizard where you can specify the characteristics of the new entry/exit system.

Ä    Note: You can create your own system groups to store your entry/exit systems in. Keeping your own entry/exit systems separate from those provided with TradingSolutions often makes them easier to find later.

Viewing or Modifying an Entry/Exit System

To modify an existing entry/exit system, select the system you want to modify and press the Edit… button. This will display the Modify Entry/Exit System Dialog where you can edit the characteristics of this entry/exit system.

Moving an Entry/Exit System to a Different Group

To move an entry/exit system to a different entry/exit system group, drag the entry/exit system from the Entry/Exit System list to the desired group in the Entry/Exit System Groups list. This action can also be performed from the Modify Entry/Exit System Dialog: Properties page.

Deleting an Entry/Exit System

To delete an existing entry/exit system, select the system you want to delete and press the Delete button. Your action will be confirmed and the system will be deleted.

Ä    Note: The Delete button is not available for locked entry/exit systems. To delete a locked entry/exit, press the Edit… button and unlock the entry/exit before trying to delete it. Entry/Exit systems provided with TradingSolutions cannot be unlocked or deleted.

M   Warning: Before you delete an entry/exit system, make sure that you no longer need it. After you delete an entry/exit system, you will not be able to get it back without using the steps you used to create it.

Creating a New Entry/Exit System Group

This will display the Modify Entry/Exit System Group Dialog. You can also modify a group by double-clicking the group name in the list.

Changing the Display Order of Entry/Exit System Groups

Deleting an Entry/Exit System Group
