Your very own code snippet library

Like many I have bits of code that I regularly use in strategies for example money management code, quit fuse code, even the basic IF THEN BUY At MARKET ENDIF, trailing stop etc. Re-typing them is a total bore and remembering the name of whichever strategy you think you last used that bit of code in and then searching through all your strategies is time consuming (and requires a memory!) – so I save them all as strategies but with the word ‘Code’ in the title. So I have ‘Money Management Code’, ‘Quit Fuse Code’, ‘If Then Buy Code’ etc etc. I can then simply type the word ‘code’ into the strategy search box and bingo I have all my useful snippets to choose from and then cut and paste into my new strategy. I also have almost complete strategy basic codes saved too – so for example with money management, fuse code, buy and sell if’s, set target and stoploss saved as ‘MM QF IFBuy IFSell TP SL Code’ I guess many may already be doing this but I thought I would share this little efficiency tip just in case it is useful to someone. Has anybody else got any other top tips to make coding faster and easier?

I’ve been trying to get Building Tradesmen to do their job correctly; most seem to build to Regs from 20 years ago!

Snippet Library restored to previous correct version (down to row 63).

It be good if whoever did the … Copy/paste of hell! … could own up please then maybe we can do something to make sure it not happen again!?

You sound like the project manager from hell. Just make them lots of tea and they will do whatever you ask them to do. Telling them that they won’t get paid if they don’t do it how you want it while handing them the tea also helps!
