Hi Chad,

I'd really appreciate the ability to specifically select whether an individual chart shows the fill, order and position information.
At present it seems to be an all or nothing so it appears on all the symbol's charts if it is turned on.

With other platforms like Multicharts and SierraChart you can turn it on and off on each individual chart and that is a great help.

For example, my higher timeframe chart is not used for execution and management of my orders and has a volume profile in the fill/margin space but this is totally obscured by the working order and fill and position lines.

It would be a great help to turn off that information for every chart other than the one used to manage the trade execution.

Cheers,

I found a long way around this but not ideal.

What I've done is
1. turn on the information required in Preferences-Trading
2. Export the definition of the chart I want that info on
3. Import that definition and overwite the previous chart version
4. turn off that information in Preferences_Trading
5. Export all other charts as definitions
6. Import those other charts

EDIT - THIS IS UNRELIABLE AND IS NOT A SOLUTION so I'll scratch that idea

Thanks - this is useful.

Is there any way to have different colors for buy and sell working orders and fills via this ref line method ?

Look forward to the RTX Trade Manager being released

Sierra chart had a useful feature where I could chart one thing (like ES) but trade MES from the chart. Is that something that is currently possible, or currently being worked on?

Chad said this is place to ask all questions regarding trading, so hope this is right place. Thanks

With your ES chart, you can add the MES instrument to the same chart. Instead of showing it as candlestick choose type Invisible and when adding the MES contract be sure to add it to the same pane where the ES instrument resides. Then you will be viewing an ES chart with MES invisibly present inside the chart. Close the ChartTradingDOM in the chart if it is already open. Then you can hit the insert key to Add Indicator to the chart, choose ChartTradingDOM as the indicator to add, and specify the associated instrument as the MES symbol in the chart (not the ES symbol). The DOM will then show MES depth and provide execution on the MES symbol while you view charts and other indicators on the ES data. The ChartTradingDOM shows the depth of market for the symbol it is trading.

The symbol that the ChartTradingDOM is setup to trade will appear beneath the price ladder below the trading buttons so you can visually check which symbol any DOM orders will trade.

Note that when you right-click in a chart and choose Trade... from the menu, the ChartTradingDOM will always use the primary instrument in the chart, ES in this case. That's why you have to manually create the DOM associated with MES to do this.If there are multiple instruments inside a chart when you choose Trade... from the chart popup menu, I think it would be nice for that Trade menu item to offer a choice for which instrument to trade. That would simplify the steps, just add the alternate instrument invisibly, right-click in chart and choose Trade > MESM20 for example. We will consider this enhancement for a future release.

Thanks so much for that info, seems like a very workable solution! It gives me everything I need but I look forward to you possibly adding that enhancement in the future :)

Thanks again, I've been very impressed with the support and professionalism demonstrated by Linnsoft from the forums, to the videos and documentation.

I currently trade the chart using Buttons in I/RT and once I'm in the trade, I will right click the fill line in order to setup my Stop (and at times my Target).

What would be the most straightforward way of having the protective Stop automatically added to the chart once the trade is filled?

Two examples:

1. I manually enter the trade buy using a Button to buy the market and want to have my Stop placed 5 ticks away?

2. I manually place a Stop Market or Limit order using a chart Button and once the trade is Filled, the Stop will be placed 5 ticks away?

With my trading being done manual and discretionary, which tool in I/RT would best suit my needs (Trading Rule, Trading System, etc)?

See the support article on Automated Order Management using Investor/RT strategy setups:  https://www.linnsoft.com/intro-trading-strategy

Trading strategies are available to Investor/RT users under the CQG, Gain, and Rithmic order routing systems. Essentially, you pre-define your OCO stops and targets and give the strategy a name, then you can submit trading orders in various ways in Investor/RT with an automated order management strategy attached. In effect your trading order to enter into a position is packaged using OSO and OCO bracket orders and sent in one transmission to the broker. The broker keeps the stops and targets suspended until your main entry order is filled. When the fill occurs, Investor/RT is notified and your stop(s) and target(s) then begin working as an OCO pair. Once RT sends the OSO/OCO order to the broker, everything is managed server side.

You can submit trading orders with a strategy using chart buttons or you can initiate a strategy based trade from the ChartTradingDOM or the ChartMiniTrader RTX Extensions.

If you want your trading order to open a position in more  automated fashion, you can use a Trading Rule indicator in the chart to send the order when user-specified criteria are met. More advanced, multi-rule automations are possible using a Trading System and the Trading System indicator.
