first day real trading after weeks of development, my little Mr. Robot worked perfectly.
Sadly, i got problems with some control setups, and the UI provided by Ninja just is not up to the task at all. THIS now, is not a complaint, rather my needs are special.
In the end, I want to have:
* My own log area. The output window is not usable, simply be cause it mixes the streams of multiple strategies
* Some control area. THe straat should not run at special times. Stopping / restarting is painfull. I woul drather have something where I can with some buttons tell the strat to stay out, only go long / short etc.
I think of doing my own window for that and reference it from the strategy, with the help of some helper code that wraps things up nicely.
This would incidentally generate some "strategy control window" where the strategies can sign up for (i.e. must be coded), put their info into separate output streams and actually where there is some control interface were I can do the stuff said above.
Anything AGAINST that approach or alternatives? Anyone else having similar means? My need mostly comes from my strategy being a fully automated intraday setup, and sometimes the market just does not work - and some of those things are known before (I.e. "stay out" before market news).
