User Rules

Summary

The User Rules are the Rules created and modified by the user. These Rules can rely on the Default Rules, provided by the software, and/or on the User Rules themselves.
These Rules can be modified or deleted by the user.
A User Rule can't reference itself but can reference any other user-defined User Rules.

Rules types

The Rule Manager can define the following rule types :

• Core Rules

Rule creation

By clicking on the button "New Rule..." (bottom right-corner of the Rule Manager), you can create any type of Rule needed.

Rules organization

Since the Rule Manager can help defining complex and elaborate Rules, eventually a complete Trading System, it's important to organize the Rules structure.
Each User Rules can be placed in any folders created by the user in order to maintain lisibility. This Rule structure will be displayed during Backtest, to attach or drag&drop a Rule to a chart for example.
