The Asset Grid window allows you to easily organize symbols that you are actively autotrading or monitoring. The default Asset Grid in Trader68 displays the “My Portfolio”, but can also display assets for a specific brokerage account, all brokerage accounts or other individual portfolios. Simply right-click on the account/portfolio you wish to view in an Asset Grid and select the option “View Assets Grid” and a new tab will be displayed.
o Symbol
The Symbol is a short 3-6 characters used to identify a security or index.
o Status
The Status indicates the current status of each individual asset on the Asset Grid and there are five states that can be displayed:
· Autotrading
The Autotrading state indicates that the current asset is actively autotrading with the broker.
· Autotrading Paused
The Autotrading Paused state indicates that the current asset is not autotrading and can be turned on by hitting the green “play” button on your toolbar.
· No Autotrading Settings
The No Autotrading Settings state indicates that the current asset is not setup for autotrading with a signal generator. Please refer to the Asset Settings dialog for more information on how to assign the asset a signal generator.
· Signal Data Series Not Found
The Signal Data Series Not Found state indicates that the current asset is not autotrading and Trader68 cannot find the data series from your signal generator. Be sure to check your Base Signal Symbol to verify it matches the signal generators accordingly.
· General Settings Problem
The General Settings Problem state indicates that the current asset is not autotrading and the asset has errors associated with it. Please refer to the Asset Settings dialog for more information and at the bottom of the dialog it will alert you to where the problem is.
