Example - Trade the US100 and UK100 symbols with my broker

  • Goal: My broker provides the US100 and UK100 symbols for the NASDAQ and FTSE 100 markets, correspondingly. I want to trade the US100 and UK100 symbols when a signal for the US100 or UK100 comes in.
  • How-to: Here is an example EA configuration how to achieve the above:
    1. Leave empty the Signal Market Symbols as no symbol replacement is required.
    2. Leave empty the Broker Market Symbols as no symbol replacement is required.
    3. Market Name Prefix/Suffix Handling = Manual: User Defined Prefix & Suffix
  • Description: A signal comes in to trade the US100 symbol. The EA keeps the US100 name and executes the trade on the US100 symbol with my broker.

    A signal comes in to trade the UK100 symbol. The EA keeps the UK100 name and executes the trade on the UK100 symbol with my broker.

    Note: A signal may come in for other symbols as well. If you want to replace any of those other symbols then list them at the Signal Market Symbols and Broker Market Symbols in order to get them replaced.
