Export Trading Solution Dialog

The Export Trading Solution Dialog allows you to select a trading solution to export to an external file. Exported trading solutions can be given to other TradingSolutions users for them to use on their systems.

&  For help with trading solutions, see Working with Complete Trading Solutions.

Selecting a Trading Solution to Export

To select a trading solution to export to a file, select a group from the groups list, then select an item from that group. If you know the name of the trading solution, but do not know what group it is in, you can use the group <All Groups>, to display all of the available trading solutions.

If you would like to create a new trading solution based on an existing field in your portfolio and then export that new solution, press the Create a New Trading Solution… button. This will display the Create a Trading Solution Wizard.

Using Trading Solutions in Previous Versions

By default, trading solutions will be exported in a format which contains all of the information associated with the most recent version of the software. This format will typically not be compatible with previous versions of the TradingSolutions software.

¨    Export Format

This option enables you to export your trading solution in a format usable in a previous version of the TradingSolutions software.

If the fields created by the selected trading solution require features available only after the selected version in order to reproduce their value, a warning message will be displayed indicating that the export cannot be performed.

Ä    Note: Examples of features not supported in previous versions are optimal signals using maximum drawdown and entry/exit systems using profit/loss/length rules.

Additional Options

If you would prefer to see more entries in the lists, you can add or remove the description area using the Display Descriptions checkbox.

What Do I Do Next?

Once you have selected a trading solution to export, press the OK button. This will display a file selection dialog to select what to name the file and where it should be located. If you would prefer not to export a trading solution at this time, press the Cancel button.

&  For help with the file selection dialog, see the help for the File Selection Dialog.
