Using Trading Solutions to Create Fields

Values in TradingSolutions data series are stored in fields. When you apply a trading solution to a data series, you are recreating the steps that were used to create the fields that are stored in that trading solution. For example, if you have an entry/exit signal that compares the outputs of two predictions, you can create a trading solution that, when applied, will recreate this entry/exit signal with these required predictions.

&  For a step-by-step introduction to this topic, see the tutorial called Applying a Trading Solution.

Applying a Trading Solution

To apply a trading solution to a data series (or group of data) to create new fields, select Apply a Trading Solution… from the context menu for that item in the Portfolio View. You can also use the Create a Field Wizard and select to Apply a trading solution. Either action will start the Apply a Trading Solution Wizard.

The Apply a Trading Solution Wizard begins with the Select Trading Solution page. This page allows you to select which trading solution to apply. Like functions and entry/exit systems, trading solutions are broken into groups that have different purposes. A brief description of each group and trading solution is displayed when they are selected, helping you to understand what the selection will do.

Ä    Note: When applying a trading solution to a data series, an additional group is added containing all of the trading solutions that have been created based on the selected data series. Only trading solutions that have been created or updated with TradingSolutions Version 2.0 or later will be included in this list.

The final page of the wizard is the Create Fields page. This page allows you to confirm the primary field that will be created by this trading solution. In addition, advanced options can be accessed to adjust the inputs being used and fields being created.

Ä    Note: Trading solutions can be modified to use different external data and inputs. To do this, view the advanced options and press the Modify Inputs… button.
