trading order

A Signal Action is a user-defined and named specfication for actions to be performed when the named signal action is executed. Various indicators in Investor/RT can trigger the execution of a named Signal Action, e.g. when the Reference Line or Trend Line indicator senses that price has touched or broken through the line, or when a signal marker or a trading signal is turning true,or it can just be triggered manually through a chart button action.

The Trading Order is a named object that specifies the properties of an order that can be sent to the brokerage (or the Investor/RT trading simulator) in various ways. Trading Orders can be executed (sent to brokerage) via Chart Buttons, via a Signal Action, via a Trading System rule, via an RTX Extension such as the Chart Trading DOM or the Chart Mini Trader extensions.
