Sharing Your Solutions with Other Users

TradingSolutions includes the ability to import and export trading solutions. This is useful for letting other users try your solutions or trying out ideas that other people have written.

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

Exporting Trading Solutions

To export your trading solutions to a file, select Export Trading Solutions… from the File menu. This will display the Export Trading Solution Dialog, which allows you to select which trading solution to export. You can also use this dialog to create a new trading solution from a source file and export it directly.

Once you have selected which solution to export, you will see a file selection dialog labeled Export Trading Solution As. This dialog allows you to specify the name of the file to export the solution to. Once you have selected a file name and directory, press the Save button.

&  For help with the file selection dialog, see the help for the File Selection Dialog.

Your selected trading solution is now in a file that you can distribute to other TradingSolutions users. This file can be distributed like any other file, including transferring it by disk, sending it with e-mail, or placing it on a web-site.

Ä    Note: Only one trading solution can be exported to a file. If you would like to bundle multiple trading solutions together, you can use external file compression tools, such as WinZip.

Importing Trading Solutions

To import exported trading solutions from a file, select Import Trading Solutions… from the File menu. This will display a file selection dialog labeled Select Files with Solutions to Import. This dialog allows you to select one or more files to import solutions from. Typically, TradingSolutions Solution files have the extension ".tss". Once you have selected a solution file to import, press Open. The trading solution will now be available for you to apply to data series in your portfolio.
