How do I place a box or note on a chart which shows the current value of some technical indicator?

You can do this currently with an "Info Box"...having it show only One Pane's indicator values...and pointing it to the pane number that contains the WPR indicator. However, you can't currently hide the line that shows the date/time. This might be an option we could add to Info Box for the next release, giving you the ability to easily show only one indicators values as large as you want in a one line text box.

Copy and paste Indicators (including Buttons) from one chart to another

Copy/Paste Functionality

To move or copy an indicator or button from one chart to another, use standard copy/paste commands. Right click the indicator or button and choose copy. Then go to another chart window, right-click in a destination pane and choose "Paste". Macintosh users will use Command-C and Command-V for copy/paste shortcuts, and Control-Click for right-clicking with a single-button mouse.

Is it possible to copy and paste a Button indicator from one chart to another?

Yes. Right-click on a button, and choose either Cut or Copy from the popup menu. Both Cut and Copy will copy the button setup to the clipboard. Cut has the additional affect of removing the button from the pane in which it presently resides. Then go to another chart window or to another pane in the same chart window, right-click in the pane and choose "Paste".

How do I put an overall stop loss or target on a trading system that trades a basket/quotepage of stocks?

The Array User Variable (ARRAY) technical indicator will be instrumental in accomplishing an overall stop loss on a system which tests a basket/quotepage of stocks. In our example, we'll assume that our system is an intraday system running on a given quotepage of stocks, and when the overall system gets down a certain dollar amount, we want to get out of all positions and not re-enter until the next day. Otherwise, the process should be system-independent.

How do I implement a stop and/or target in a trading system?

Assuming you have a system that goes both long (with BUY action) and short (with SELLSHORT action). And let's also assume we want to implement both a stop and a target on both the long and short trades. Let's also assume that we want the target to be 50 cents and the stop to be 25 cents.

In RTL, the token ENTRY gives us the entry price of any position. This token makes implementing stops and targets relatively simple.
