These are the preferences that will be inherited by newly created Multipane Charts when using "File: New: Chart". Also, if your default charts settings in the General Chart Preferences are to use "Chart Type: Multipane", then your default chart will inherit these properties.

These various preferences are now seen in a tabbed window (File > Preferences > Charts > Multipane). There are also many additional chart settings in File > Preferences > Charts > General.

Primitive properties are properties of an instrument for which Investor/RT has only the "current" value.

The Trading System Tools add-on feature of Investor/RT includes tools for defining trading systems, backtesting and optimizing trading systems using historical data, and deploying trading rules and trading systems for actual live (or simulated) trading in real-time. A trading system is composed of one or more trading rules. Each trading rule is in turn composed of a trading signal and an associated action such as buy, sell, sell short, etc. Trading signals are logical expressions (true or false statements) written in the Investor/RT Language (RTL).

The Trading Notes Indicator has been superceded by the RTX extension TradeViewer. See this support article.

The trading notes object is designed as a notepad for recording notes associated with particular instruments. At the top of the trading notes window is a standard instrument selector. When an instrument is selected, its trading notes are listed in the center portion of the window.

The Main Toolbar and Layout Toolbar provide convenient access to Investor/RT functionality and user-specified collections of windows (Layouts). There are many ways to customize the appearance of these toolbars and where they appear in your Investor/RT workspace.

The SET command is used to set a variety of instrument/symbol properties. The format for setting a property in a scan, signal, or custom indicator, is:

SET(property, value)

The SET statement is commonly used in a scan to set the properties on all the symbols in the scans target (input) quotepage. SET is also used in trading system signals to manage targets and stops. The resulting "value" of the SET statement in the context of the scan, signal, or custom indicator, is TRUE (or 1 numerically). To reverse this meaning (to False or "0"), just use !SET
