Trade Buttons V1

[Doji3333]

Here it is...

The next version of my "Trade Buttons V1" for Esignal Paper Trade Broker.

Simply save this file to your FORMULAS directory and then enable your Paper Trade Broker from within esignal. The other thing you will need to do is click on TRADE, then eSignal PAPER TRADE, then PREFERENCES and uncheck...

Confirm EFS GENERATED TRADES.

This way all the trades entered with my TradeButtons app will not require a second confirmation.

This file will give everyone the ability to try my simple little tool for entering and profiting from the markets. With the Paper Trade Broker portion of esignal, you can use it and evaluate it without having to risk any money.

Have fun and let me know if you have any questions. This file will not expire. Of course, it will not allow you to make real trades either...

Good trading,

Brad

Here is the actual file....

I must have missed a few steps...

I saved the file into Formulas, and then loaded it into an adv chart.

Nothing showed up.

I unchecked the Confirm button in Preferences.

What else should I do?

[Doji3333]

Try this one...

I have time restrictions in the code and forgot to set them to 24 hours.

This file should allow trading 24/7. That is the issue with the other file in this thread.

Once I release this to the public, people will be able to set the defaults, # of contracts/shares to trade and other feature. Right now, they are set for testing and trading the e-mini.

Let me know if you have any other questions...

Much better, thanks

You might want to allow the user to move the buttons from the top to the bottom, so the price action is not covering the buttons.

Movement....

D,

Notice the " < v > " button and the " < ^ > " button.. These allow you to move the buttons up and down the left edge of the chart...

Eventually, I plan on having "expanding" and "contracting" button groups so users can hide individual groups of buttons. But this will come in time.

Hope you like it.

Everything is working fine ...

Just so everyone knows....

Everything seems to be working fine with my latest version of Trade Buttons V1 PT. Stops and PT are exiting properly as well as entries.

Here is a screen shot.

Let me know if any of you have any comments.

Could you tell me which APIs in EFS are used to detect the user's clicking buttons? Thanks.


I have found them.

Using Buttons...

Here is an example...

function YPlusSwitch(nButtonPressed) {
  ButtonYStart += 15;
    Alert.playSound("laser.wav");
  redrawbuttons();
}


function main () {

   drawTextPixel(ButtonxStart+2, ButtonYStart-5, " < ^ > " + "@URL=EFS:YMinusSwitch", Color.black, Color.RGB(0xE0, 0xE0, 0xFF), Text.FRAME | Text.ONTOP | Text.RELATIVETOLEFT | Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM, null, null, "YPlus");

}
