Overview
The Trade Exit Signal Wizard in the Code Editor module allows users to create trade exit signals through a series of guided steps. Each step helps configure different parts of the trade exit signal, and upon completion, the wizard automatically generates the corresponding code.
Step-by-Step Process
Â
Step 1: Choose Trade Exit Signal
In this initial step, the user selects the type of project they want to create. For this guide, we will focus on creating a Trade Exit Signal.
Step 2: General Settings

- Min Value and Max Value: The range for numerical parameters.
Step 4: Summary
The Summary step provides a final overview of all the settings configured for the trade exit signal. It allows users to review their choices before the signal is created. There is also an option to open the project in Visual Studio.
Step 5: Edit Code
After completing the wizard, the code for the trade exit signal is generated and can be edited in the Code Editor. Developers can add custom logic or make further adjustments to the generated code.
Summary
The Trade Exit Signal Wizard simplifies the process of creating a new trade exit signal by guiding users through a series of steps. Each step allows users to configure specific aspects of the signal, ensuring that all necessary components are properly set up. Upon completion, the wizard generates the code for the signal, which can then be edited and customized in the Code Editor. This process enhances productivity and helps developers quickly create functional trade exit signals with minimal effort.
