Is it possible or could it be possible through a new feature to create a study that cannot be removed from a chart book without first entering a password? The reason for this is that I have a custom study that limits the number of trades I place per session and I do not want to be able to remove that study. It would be incredible to be able to prevent that study from being removed unless a password was entered. |

One of the reasons that discretionary / independent trading is so difficult is that you do not have a risk manager to step in when you should not break your rules but inevitably override your best judgement. Allowing a password for removal of a study, would allow a user the protection a risk manager provides so that when emotions are high you have no way to break your own rules. The password could only be known by a partner so you have no easy way to break your own rules. An alternative solution to this problem would be a way to prevent in-platform risk management rules from being changed without a password. Is the rationale here compelling enough to create the suggested functionality? If not, what about being able to password lock in-platform risk management rules. |

I agree with jsandlan that atleast a password protection on a study is simple to do to protect it from deleting. Can you please provide this feature?

jsandlan & aseef, For info I achieve what you are after by having the study you do not want removing set a persistant integer to a non zero value eg 10. Then in your trade placing study: StudyLoaded = sc.GetPersistentIntFromChartStudy(1,2,0); if(StudyLoaded != 10) { sc.PlaySound(13,"Bar Timer missing", 1); or add code to flatten all } |
