Tomasz, How hard would it be for you to provide the ability to click directly on a price chart with any mouse button and have an AFL function called as a result?
Fix-named event routines could get called like: [1st two are what eSignal has, 3rd one they don't but should because the middle mouse button is rarely used by charting programs] onLButtonDown(barIndex, yValue) onRButtonDown(barIndex, yValue) onMButtonDown(barIndex, yValue) With this addition, I could trade in real-time directly from the price chart by using the yValue, which is price. I wouldn't need "price ladders" or dialog-based order entries(unless I chose to have more specific control over the trade for stops and targets once I'm in from the direct order entry on the price chart) or pop-up menus, etc. etc. Also, I could setup a chain of trades to occur where I press several locations and interpret this to be a series of trades which would be executed in an unattended sequence and automatically cancel the pending setups in the sequence if price did not go the way I had planned. [we all know how this works..."I'll go long this support and if price gets to this resistance level without having already taken me out of the first trade, I'll reverse short, etc.] Pretty powerful stuff for such a simple interface. Intraday futures scalpers would love it. --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > You can place trades with AmiBroker: > See auto-trading docs: > http://www.amibroker.com/at/ > > and User's KB: > http://www.amibroker.org/userkb/ > > http://www.amibroker.org/userkb/category/real-time-auto-trading/ > > Best regards, > Tomasz Janeczko > amibroker.com > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "damiantodaro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 7:03 AM > Subject: [amibroker] Trading platform + AB > > > > I've been researching TA tools and I quickly fell in love with AB. > > I've already plugged in a RT feed, coded some clever systems and > > backtested, etc. Being a programmer, I picked up AFL in about 3 > > minutes and have already created a library of goodies. > > > > I was (my fault for not reading) stupified that I could place trades > > with AB.
