1. View the calendars.
2. Registration.
3. Once you registered you may start to create your calendar.
It is the same with previous post.
4. Creating your calendar by signals.
After
Create Calendar link completed you will have
ID of your calendar. Your calendar is empty and visible for you only. Press
view calendar button and go to your calendar to create it.
Open
Add Event link and fill everything:
-
Calendar. I have 2 calendars now: forex calendar and signal calendar. I will have one only from the beginning.
-
Date & Time. It is very important for signal calendar because it is the time to open the order.
-
Currency: It is slighly different from forex calendar.
EURUSD
GBPUSD
GBPJPY
and so on. SignalTrader EA understands the currency in this format only.
-
Type: I am not using it in signal calendar. People may use just to post some repeated discription for example (but it is necessary to write this type first of course and when post it repeatedly).
-
Title:
SellStop
BuyStop
SellLimit
BuyLimit
Sell
Buy
SignalTrader EA understands exact this words only as a Title. It is the type of the order you want to open.
-
Detail. You may post any description.
-
Expected Impact: low impact, medium impact and high impact. It is understandable. In indicators and EAs: low impact is rating=1, medium impact is 2 and high impact is rating=3 (there is Rating settings in indicators and EAs so it is just an impact). What is high impact for example? It is the same as +++, or it is less of risky trade, or it is clear signal, or it is the signal with good market condition.
-
Actual. Price to open the order. In case of Buy and Sell orders (where SignalTrader is openning the order according to the time with the market price) so it is just preliminary price. But it should be exact price or levels in case of pending orders.
Make sure that your pending order price is above/below current price on at least 10 pips (otherwise pending orders will not be opened).
And make sure that SignalTrader receives your information exactly at the time. For example, SignalTrader is receiving your information one time per 5 minutes (ReqPeriod=5 in the settings of SignalTrader) and you posted SellStop order which should be exacuted after 2 minutes. So your SignalTrader will not get any information to open your Sell. It is very important thing as I did many mistakes about it during the testing.
-
Forecast. It is stop loss value. If you are posting just a levels and want for user to estimate their own stop loss values so write 0 in this field. For example:
Code:
06:25:00 EURUSD BuyStop High 1.3480 1.3425 1.3494
where 1.3425 is stop loss value.
The other example:
Code:
06:25:00 EURUSD BuyStop High 1.3480 0 0
where 1st
0 is stop loss value (users will use their own stop loss or SignalTrader will trade according to your settings with your stop loss).
-
Previous. It is take profit. In previous example take profit is 1.3494 (in case of signals with tp and sl values), or
0 in case of signals as buy/sell levels. If 0 so SignalTrader will use EA's settings for take profit together with trailing stop and BreakEven.
-
Public Event: if this events will be going to be a public one (it is in most cases) so keep it as default.
Press Send button.
5. How to edite the signals, or delete them.
You created the calendar, created some signal events for the day or week for example.
Under Action you will see the following:
-
view description.
-
view/add comments.
-
edit event.
-
delete event.
Finally you have your own signal calendar.
You may use my signal calendar for example. But to use it you need to follow my signal thread because we will describe for every single signal: where to exit, how strong this signal, should I close this trade before news coming, which profit may I expect from this signal and so on. I am correcting everything under way so please don't use my signals by SignalTrader EA in "set and forget" way.
Or you may create your own signal calendar. Or you may delete your first calendar and create the new one. Once you feel that your calendar is ready for the public so send PM to moderator to moderate it.
No one will see your calendar and events untill moderator will moderate it but you may use news indicators and news EAs with your calendar without moderation (just to test your calendar by price action for example).
