Strategy signal generation

[mballagan]

Is it possible to run a strategy on chart 1 and use signals generated by this strategy for a 2nd strategy running on chart 2? Chart 1 and 2 same instrument.

(Strategy1 on Chart 1 could save signals to a text file or database to be read by Strategy 2 on Chart 2. Is this possible in theory?)

Hi mballagan, thanks for posting. The most straight forward way to share a signal would be use of files that each script can read. We have an example showing how to perform file input/output here in the help guide:

There is also a way to use a propertychanged event on a static variable for a more advanced approach.

Chris thanks for your message. Is there a way to disable the audio alerts for a strategy so that if several strategies are running I only want to hear audio alerts for the 'master' strategy?

Hi mballagan, there is no setting in a strategy to disable the audio alerts, you would need to mute the sounds altogether.

Kind regards,
