Discussion of article "Quick Manual Trading Toolkit: Basic Functionality"

 

New article Quick Manual Trading Toolkit: Basic Functionality has been published:

Today, many traders switch to automated trading systems which can require additional setup or can be fully automated and ready to use. However, there is a considerable part of traders who prefer trading manually, in the old fashioned way. In this article, we will create toolkit for quick manual trading, using hotkeys, and for performing typical trading actions in one click.

The below video demonstrates the created application.

Alexander, great job!

Thank you.

 

a lot of code and very few words...

It's not an article, but a translator's dream :-)) Publication as an alternative to CodeBase, but with a perceptible bonus.

The title of the article pleased me, I thought "Oh! a man fast and hand trading, justifies and shows the formation of the toolkit!".

Turns out he doesn't. Dialogues overlap the main chart, there are no interactions with chart objects..Just programming of dialogue modal windows.

I didn't like the article as a publication, though the code is in the general style and probably not bad.

A non-programmer reader can read the first two sections and just use the project. A reader-beginningprogrammer can look into what works and how it works, where it comes from with the aim of adding something of his own to this project rather than creating it from scratch. A reader-professional programmer can create the same panel to his own colour and taste.

About overlapping of charts. Tested on a modern and old monitor. On monitors 4:3 with a resolution below FullHD yes, the place on the chart is not much. But the orientation goes to the fact that traders use widescreens and for quite a long time. On FullHD and above everything is normal in terms of occupancy area. On 4K it's great in general.

In general, I plan to expand the functionality with a priority on the fastest possible setting of orders, as well as to add one or two click tasks, which manually do long, and the situation requires a quick response. For example, placing a grid of orders, mass closing, editing orders by some narrow criterion.

 
You still have to know how to trade pens. It's like the multiplication table. Even if you have a calculator handy, you have to know it.

I completely agree - nobody cancels the intuitive component of trading.

Many traders who previously trusted robots unconditionally, come to the fact

that a signal is a signal, but often the final decision to enter the market must be made by yourself.

 
Thank you, but what you corrected or used a new version of the library
EasyAndFastGUI - library for creating graphical interfaces - library for MetaTrader 5 Anatoli Kazharski
because its latest version is 13.03.2019 and you have some files as far back as 20 years?

A lot of things, for the tasks that I had.

 
Hi. Nice panel. Such a question: what is the easiest way to implement its access to global variables and take the required value from the last created one? Is it necessary to check their presence, compare with the list of previous variables and then read the value? Or is there some simpler method?
Sorry if it's rambling, it's hard to explain everything at first glance
