Documentation

Originally from ticket #1951.

Do you intend to provide documentation at any pint in time? Just went to your "help guide" and EVERY page is blank...

Interested in your products, but obviously I will not pass it to my team with zero documentation.

Please advise if you have plans to provide documentation with your products and services.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi

Some pages are no blank but certainly it is 90% work in progress.

The project to complete all of the indicators and strategies is nearing completion which will see a rewrite of the strategy engine to unmanaged mode - it cannot handle overfills- then later on order flow analytics and market profile - and some more proprietary, settings sharing and a mutliple chart trading suite.

So currently the priority is writnig this and debuggign any error reports that come if any from other areas.
Then to focus on documentation:

This will be You tube video guides - there are some already at:
http://www.youtube.com/user/MicroTrendsLtd

Here is also one i recorded on request for a trader the other day - regarding the MT 3 HiLwo trader and how to close trades on a friday.

And then written guides at:

Section
Instllation

Tips:
and
Common properties:
For both indicators and strategies you will see the seciotn you need to look at.

As detailed the Trade setup and Entry is configurable and has a common set of parameters in all Signals Indicators.

All signals indicators and strategies using the signals indicators have a common set of features as outlined in the guide at http://help.microtrends.co

and here:

http://forum.micro-trends.co.uk/topic886-bitwise-trade-setup-and-entry-parameters.aspx

Trade Setup Mode
A trade setup may have 1 or many modes and candle filters,
Green dot = Setup long
Red dot = Setup short

Trade Entry Mode
a trade entry can be with setup or many other price action combinations and candle patterns
Green triangle = Trade entry long
Red triangle = Trade entry Short

Rationale
For the Trader:
The rationale is generic, extensibility and ease of use.
Once the user understands what a "generic" interface/parameterset is they will be able to program many different approaches and studies.
Also a lower cost of ownership and speed to market.

What is good for trading.
In terms of what is good - the idea is that the framework allows you to judge what is good for you - for free unlimited.

So i really will be pushing to close the project and document what is there, and teach how to use it all.
Untill then its a case of experimentation or asking the help desk for assistance or looking in the forums.

For traders who buy we obviously actively assist by remote control and setup up various workspaces,templates, tests and settings as requried.

So yes it is the highest priority following about 3 to 4 weeks of final development work for this phase,
after which incremental phases will be documented as they are worked on.
