Macro Command Rules

Macros allow you to combine one or more action and/or symbol commands into single command with a name that you can specify. For example, you can use a macro command to open a new Chart Analysis window with an interval of 5 minutes for a specific symbol.

Syntax:  .macroname  ;;

  • Macro commands must be preceded with a period (.); see Macros Wizard for usage.
  • Multiple commands are separated by two semi-colons. Example:  .macro1  ;;  .action1  ;;  .macro2

Example

  • Runs an order macro that places a limit order to Buy 500 shares at the inside bid + .01.

    .Buy_Improve
  • Runs a command to create a new desktop and runs a macro that toggles the Trade Bar, Position Graph Bar and Status Bar off.

    .NewDesktop  ;; .Desktop_Bars
