Autotrading Control Center window

Autotrading Control Center window

Agent is a trading copy of the script linked to your accounts. The number of agents that can be created based on one script is not limited.

The "Autotrading Control Center" window displays the general status of agents, settings, current trading results, and tools for starting and stopping agents. If there are several instruments in the script, only one instrument is displayed in the "Ticker" column, according to the first source in the script (the Source block, which was added to the editor first).

The Autotrading Control Center window can be opened by selecting the Main menu item: Trading - Autotrading Control Center.
