Record Trades Indicator for Charts

   Hi etrader,

This can be achieved via the following steps:

  Open the tradesim scan and go to the advanced tab
  Click on generate script
  Highlight the script from the "Trading System" comment line onwards and select copy
  Close the scan and go to your chart
  Create a new indicator (Add Indicator / Builder / New)
  Paste the script in there
  Add a new line to the program just after the TradeSim.Initialize line as follows:  ExtFml("TradeSim.SetReturnInfoType",AllTriggers);
  Press OK then add the indicator to your chart

You will get a spike to "1" on days where there is an entry, and a
spike to "2" on days that are an exit. And "3" on days where there is
an entry and an exit. (If you like you can add other bullscript to make
it appear nicer on the chart).

It's a bit complicated, but I'm planning on making all of this happen
automatically when you link a scan to a chart in a future version. (and
remember, in other programs you're writing the entire script from
scratch anyway  )

	I am trying to make a 'Record Trades Indicator' for TradeSim which is available in MetaStock and the code is in the Instruction Manual. This would make it easier and to identify exact dates when trades were Entered and Exited on a tested system when analysing a chart. Below I have circled in Yellow what I think is able to be done using Standard and Professional versions, or is this not possible ?? I would appreciate any input. thx etrader
