Try using variablenames that are little more meaningful than A1. Then it is easier to read.
The figures in brackets above the equity curve don’t have any names against them (they are just figures) so even if I used the full variable name it would not make any difference?
I propose a new feature : add the ability for PRT to include VIX CBOE cash value in the code. This index is used a lot by traders to validate / invalidate strategies.
It would be great if one could view a scatter plot of both MFE and MAE of all trades after a backtest. Both MFE and MAE of all trades are in the order list after a test, so to implement a scatter plot should be no big deal.
All suggestions in this thread, do you Nicolas forward them to PRT? I have just been thinking about it because 2-3 days agao PRT made a post on their facebook page suggesting that people should send suggestions via the platform.
You can use the form on their website: https://www.prorealtime.com/en/contact?suggestion=1
Don’t worry, this thread is monitored by IT Finance also 🙂
Of course each of us have different suggestions, so all of them can’t be taken into account at once.
48. change the default behavior of the color setting: possibility to plot dark shape on a dark background and vice-versa for bright background. It is not possible actually to make something really transparent (shapes, curves, etc.), even with the alpha variable from COLOURED keyword!
Hello, I’m trying to use Sublimetext to write codes (I’m implementing Snippets in order to find and merge easily part of codes). Not bad to implement something in prorealtime.
I think the function “folding code” could be very interesting, also “tag”.

query n°49: TRADETYPE : new keyword to know the type of position opened on market with array offset possibility like TRADEPRICE for instance (TRADEPRICE(2) = BUY or SELLSHORT of the previous 2nd order from now).
(been stuck sometimes to find what was the order type X orders ago ..). If someone has a code snippet to retrieve it easily, let us know! 🙂
The performance graph offers possibility to review per instrument.
It would be nice to also have the same possibility per trading system!
I suggest to revert back to the workspaces management of 10.2 for better ergonomy, as saving templates is independant from the rest of the work.
Example of a use case: I do some drawings, code etc… and I want to save this work using “CTRL S” without changing my “template”. This is now difficult since the save include all (config + work).
Also, I noticed an automatic creation of non desired workspaces : “mon espace”, “mon espace (1)”, “mon espace (2)”,”mon espace (3)”,…. –> I never requested them and if I do not delete these, it continues to create new ones.
cf. attached.

You already have a performance graph under ProOrder window for each strategy (similar to ProBacktest).

Totally agree! But for your information, I heard that template files could be available for v10.4, but it is only rumor.. so I can’t confirm.
I wish I could write DEFINEs (C-like):
Define SellNow x = SELLSHORT x CONTRACT AT MARKET
.
.
.
IF .... THEN
SellNow 2 //sell 2 contracts
ENDIF
Eeven better, multi-line DEFINEs:
Define SellNow x,y,z = SELLSHORT x CONTRACT AT MARKET;SET TARGET PPROFIT y;SET STOP PLOSS z
.
.
.
IF .... THEN
SellNow 2,20,10 //sell 2 contracts, 20 Pips TP, 10 Pips SL
ENDIF
@robertogozzi
Quite similar to a function you can also make will a CALL for instance but only for indicators since strategies doesn’t have external variables capabilities. It could have been possible like this (if external variables was possible):
IF .... THEN
SellNow=CALL "function_SELLSHORT"[2,20,10] //sell 2 contracts, 20 Pips TP, 10 Pips SL
ENDIF
// a ProOrder CALL function file named "function_SELLSHORT"
// with external variables : SIZE,TAKEPROFIT,STOPLOSS
SELLSHORT size CONTRACTS AT MARKET
SET TARGET PPROFIT TAKEPROFIT
SET STOP PPLOSS STOPLOSS
A great improvement should be to get a new instruction to return the ‘SELLSHORT’ success instantly.
If one views the report for the whole account it should be possible to see the P/L of each strategy and not only for each instrument. (someone else suggested this in another thread and I thought this was a good one)
