ChartTrading (Indicator)

Disclaimer

ChartTrading is an indicator application that allows you to quickly and easily place trades, manage positions, and manage orders from a chart. It utilizes EasyLanguage objects such as order components, form controls, and click events to create a customizable user interface that docks to a chart.

The purpose of this indicator is to integrate the functionality and ease-of-use available with the Matrix's Order Bar into Chart Analysis, as well as to highlight EasyLanguage's ability to create very powerful applications that seamlessly integrate with the TradeStation Platform.

ChartTrading is added to and removed from the active chart by clicking the ChartTrading button on the TradeStation toolbar or you can right-click on the chart and select Chart Trading. The ChartTrading panel attaches itself to the right side of the chart.

See Using Chart Trading for information about trading from a chart.
