The RTL language enables user text variables that can hold up to 30 characters of textual information. Each ticker symbol tracked by Investor/RT has its own set of 32 textual values. The RTL token names for these variables are T#1, T#2, ... T#32, analogous to the nomenclature for numeric V# variables. Like V#'s, any T# variable may be displayed in a quotepage and may be included in a quotepage format.
Investor/RT allows the user to create Custom Instruments which reflect some arithmetic combination of other instruments. The feature can be used for tracking the spread between two instruments or tracking the value of a basket of Securities, a Portfolio or a Mutual Fund.
Investor/RT allows the user to setup user-defined instruments which are defined as:
To enable or disable trading related Annotations, Fill Markers or position lines, go to File > Preferences > Trading > Trading General to adjust:
Annotations containing the text token % BARLEFT show you the time left in the current bar. This annotation is updated each time a trade occurs for the instrument associated with the annotation indicator.
First, create a Schedule (Setup: Schedules). Let's assume in this specific example that we want to open up both a chart and a quotepage. Your schedule should contain two Actions. The first action will be Open a Chart with your specific chart selected in the list. The second will be "Open a Quotepage" with your specific quotepage selected.
The Watermark Indicator adds a watermark to the chart background. It can be used to identify the user, his or her organization, or the ticker symbol of the primary instrument in the chart. The watermark appears as semi transparent text overlaying the chart background. The indicator has setups that include: the watermark text to be displayed, the position of the watermark, the font and size of the watermark text, and the opacity of the watermark. Opacity settings of low, medium and high are available.
Here is an example: assume we want to create a button that will toggle Pivot Point indicator lines on and off. First, add the Pivot Point indicator to your chart with the preferred settings. To create a toggle button for any indicator in your chart, right-click on the indicator and choose "Add Button" from the ensuing pop-up menu. The button will then appear in the chart. To test it, click the button and watch the indicator in question disappear and then return as you click.
Follow these steps to create a Group of Technical Indicators that you can toggle on and off with a Button:
A common example of when this process might be needed would be when a scan automatically sorts it's results (based on the scan setup), and then the user wants to run a subsequent scan on that quotepage which uses tokens (such as SEQ) which rely on the order of the symbols to be saved.
