Import Function Selection Dialog

Export Function Selection Dialog

 

The Import / Export Function Selection Dialog allows you to select the functions and entry/exit systems you would like to import or export.

Ä    Note: Trading solutions are exported separately from function definitions and entry/exit systems. For information on exporting trading solutions, see the help for the Export Trading Solution Dialog.

 

When you are finished making any changes, press the OK button. If you would like to exit from this dialog without importing any data, press the Cancel button.

Understanding the Selection Tree

The items available for importing or exporting are displayed in a tree format. Each major item may be broken down into several different elements contained within them. Each item in the tree has an icon indicating what it is.
