Writing Custom Functions and Entry/Exit Systems

In the previous tutorials, we used the functions and entry/exit systems included with TradingSolutions to calculate values and produce entry/exit signals. These included formulas can be used to perform the processing needed for most basic types of analysis or prediction preprocessing. However, there may be times when you want to use your own calculations or entry/exit systems.

 

TradingSolutions allows you to write your own custom functions and entry/exit systems based on existing function definitions. You can use this ability to combine several steps into a single calculation, enter a formula that you saw in a magazine, or even experiment with complex entry/exit criteria.

 

This activity will take you step-by-step through writing a simple function and a basic entry/exit system. You can also learn about the special processing features available for writing more complex functions.
