Coming from the Am broker & Trade Station worlds, I am striving to convert to Quantshare due to it%u2019s the amazing features, and,
I am struggling to figure out some basics.
For example, I am used to being able in strategies to take every variable and step, and quickly write it out the values to the screen,
such that I can test each variables value by date/time and by ticker.
In this way, one can be certain regarding the intermediate steps values, etc., system flags, buy / sell signals, etc.
An example:
In AmBbroker, you can simplly insert Addcolumn statements next to each variable, and the automatically output to a table format, just like below (although in grid structure), which each time slice value then easily tracked and also quickly put into Excel if useful.
I know Quantshare has cool Grids and Pivot functions, and I know you support Addcolumns in other areas; how can I output this information as I build and test a strategy, as the documentation implies addcolumn does not work within strategies?
Alex Horn was kind enough to point how the power of using the screener to accomplish what i wanted to see written to grid.
I would add that is more natural and would be of great power and benefit to see that addcolumn grid output directly available inside the system simulation module, especially if it could include system state variables (cash, equity, open positions, buy signals, etc.).
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
