TradeStation Development Environment
TradeStation Help is your ready reference to features in the TradeStation Development Environment and provides detailed instructions on their use.
The help topics in TradeStation are displayed in a separate help window so that you can view them at the same time you are using TradeStation. Most windows, dialogs, and right-click shortcut menus in TradeStation contain a Help link or button that will automatically launch the help window and take you directly to a related help topic.
Also, the help window allows you to locate other help topics from the Table of Contents, Index, and Search panes. The Favorites pane lets you bookmark help topics and searches to review at a later time.
There are three sections to the help window. The lower right portion of the help window displays the help topic that was selected in TradeStation or from a tab in the navigation panel in the left portion of the help window. The upper section contains a toolbar that includes additional controls for the help window and displayed topics.
The help topic displayed in the lower right portion of the help window shows the topic selected from TradeStation or one that you located using the TOC, Index, Search, or Favorites tabs on the navigation panel. In addition, you can use the topic toolbar to print, rate, and/or provide a comment about the currently displayed topic.
The navigation panel allows you to locate help topics using one of the following common help navigation tools:
Table of Contents - The Table of Contents tab organizes help topics into a series of books containing related topics. Clicking the

As you begin typing characters in the text box at the top of the index pane, the list moves to the index terms that start with those characters. Select a term from the list to view the related help topic.
Search - The Search tab lets you locate help topics that contain term(s) you type into the text box at the top of the search pane. A search engine looks through every topic in the help and returns a list of help topics that are ranked by the number of occurrences of the terms in each topic.
