Adding A Value Column or Detail List Box Item

The RuleTrader Value column can be used to display the value or state of any of your Trading Spec’s terms, trading rules, trading strategies or list selectors. It is particularly useful in Live sessions, where it can be used to display live values from your trading system. For example, the current gain or return for a position, the gradient of a trend, the result of some expression, etc. It can also be used to feed data to a Detail window’s List Box Item.

Adding A Value Column

To add the RuleTrader Value column to your Share List window, please follow these simple steps:

  1. Right-click at the top of the Share List, on the header of a column that is to the right of where you want to insert the RuleTrader Value column
  2. On the pop-up menu, click on Add ShareScript Column:

3. The Add ShareScript Column dialog will then be displayed:

In the dialog, choose RuleTrader Value column and click Ok, which will display the Value Column Settings dialog:

The Value Column settings dialog is where you select the term whose value or state you want to show in the Value Column

4. In the Source drop-down list in the dialog, select the term, trading rule, trading strategy or list, whose value or state (or list length for list selectors and benchmark lists) that you want to display, then click Ok and the column will be inserted.

5. If you need to reposition the column relative to the other columns, simply click on the column header and, while holding the mouse button down, drag the column left or right

Adding A Detail List Box Item

You can also add a RuleTrader Value as a List Box item in a ShareScope Details window, using essentially the same method. First ensure a List Box is displayed in the Details window, then right-click inside it and select Add List Box item, then Add ShareScript item, then follow steps 3 – 4 above.
