Chapter 3. Managing Strategies

NOTE: This section applies only to users of Strategy Runner Professional (full) version. It does not apply to Lite version users, and the Strategies table may not be viewable to these users. In cases where it is viewable, it only displays the manual strategy called User_Trader. (For more information about the User_Trader, see The Manual User_Trader, Overnight and End Time parameters).

When you select a contract in the Contracts table, the Strategies table (located below the Contracts table) displays a list of the strategies associated with the selected contract. Each line displays the relevant data for a particular strategy (see Figure 3.1 below). You can modify some of the fields in this window.
