PeterSt, thanks for asking…
Something I really love to see in the ProOrder form is a way to “pause” a system without really stopping it. In this way the system…
- wouldnt open new positions but it will close the already opened
- wouldnt lose any value calculated in previous operations, such as any from STRATEGYPROFIT
- wouldnt need to introduce again the “maxposition” when activated
- ….
That would be a HUGE improvement for me.
And I would love also to see your idea of the “archivement tab”

Hi Kumo,
ProRealTime will not allow such a thing, because it will – or might get in a loop. Example : out of funds, and the system will keep on restarting.
I understand your frustration, as the other day (I think Nov. 15) I kept on and on and on restarting the systems, which immediately got killed again, until it eventually worked.
But PRT can’t know that in advance.1 user thanked author for this post.

wouldnt need to introduce again the “maxposition” when activatedThis is definitely something I already put forward as well. Thus generally : preserve the state of variables, so a stopped** system can proceed where it left off when restarted. Although this will be more difficult for ProRealTime to achieve, it is something which really really is necessary because systems get stopped so often. PRT already understands this because they know how much time it takes to start-through a system after it has been kicked out.
**): Thus this is a bit of a different reason than pausing the system, and in the end it might come down to the same as if a system was killed : you know kill the system yourself (it “pauses”) and you restart it with the variable value retained.
Understandable or not, below you see my “Start Through” parameters, which for my MM means are about the original position amount, the current position amount, the amount I want to restart the system with, the current profit and the last profit/loss. Obviously this data must be obtained from the stopped system somehow (also read this as : you can’t have parameters of which you cant obtain the data when the system has been stopped), which normally is the Detailed Report. Now it gets complex because because of the kicked out system, the Detailed Report will start to contain rubbish (we talked about this before), and you’d need to know relatively to the last reliable data, what the parameter values are to be. Thus, if my D.R. suddenly misses 100, I will see a current gain of 1400 but need to remember I need to add that 100, thus it is 1500 (= the base for the StrategyProfit). For me this is by now such a mess everywhere (all AutoTrading Systems) that I actually need to give up, or tweak the data to my likings. This is not my idea of “AutoTrading with Money Management”. Also notice that any AutoTrading System which fails, will turn into a Manual System when the settings are such that it will keep on running. And gone are the statistics data for AutoTrading.The above mentioned misery will be solved when the variables maintain their value. Of course this is all not that easy, because we will need to reset all on command just as well. Or the other way around : when we copy the system and adjust some things in the code, we might want to retain the variable values from the previous version. And still adjust them ?
The current Optimization Parameters list seems suitable for this all. Thus, it might depict which variables we want to retain. Perhaps something with a checkbox “I am a Start-Through parameter”.1 user thanked author for this post.
Export from the ProOrder form would be very very useful!
Currently there is no way – apart from copy and paste – laborious and sooo ‘old skool’ ! – to save Systems from the ProOrder window.
I am constantly deleting Systems from the ProOrder form when what I want to do is to export the systems to my pc and save in a folder called ‘ex Test’!

I’m excited that we might get the ProOrder form / window as we want it for v13!!
I feel empowered to make changes!!
Thank You Peter for progressing all these changes through to PRT!!
