coding trading strategies in eSignal

[wmorton]

Hi,

I have been an Amibroker user for many years and am very familiar with the Amibroker software to create trading strategies.
I have an eSignal account for accessing global exchange data and would like to know if eSignal can be used to program trading strategies so I can convert what I have developed in Amibroker over to eSignal.
If this is possible, please advise how I go about doing this. I am currently running eSignal version 21.2.
If any further info is required please let me know.

Thanks,

Will

Hi Will,

Go to the “Insert Study” dialog box, click on the down arrow next to “EFS Library”, from there you can access a lot of scripts that are available. To check one out, just hover your mouse over it and to the right you’ll see a couple icons, one of which will open the script so you can view the code.

Automated Trading is one of the dropdown lists, there you’ll find “EFSAT_EXAMPLE.efs” which has functions that can be used for auto-trading, or you can call them manually by putting a button on a chart and use the functions that way. You’d have to comment out or delete the preMain() and main() parts of the script and turn it into a library, unless you just copied some functions and put them in your program.

The following are some links to some EFS tutorials that should help you understand the basic EFS syntax and back-testing as well as the EFS Glossary that has eSignal's built-in functions:
