Snapshot Template

If enabled, the selected template will be used to create a snapshot of each closed trade. You can select tab chart group templates from the list (if you have already created them). If you do not select a template, then only the chart (time frame) in which the trade takes place will be saved as a picture.

The stored snapshots are located here: TradersYardX/TradeEscort/Files/Date/ChartImages/Trade.

In order to change the appearance of the snapshot which is taken after every trade, choose a Chart Group Template of either a List Chart Group or Tab Chart Group. Learn more about how to create templates Chart Group: Templates

Manipulate Confirmed Order Bars

Autoscale Chart Trader Bars

Enabling this option scales the chart so that all chart trader bars (entry/stops/target) are visible. Let's assume that you run a trade using the daily chart and then switch to the 5-minute chart. This may lead to orders on the 5-minute chart being too far away from each other so that in order to display all orders the chart must be extremely compacted. So, check this box if you want all order bars to be shown inside the chart (autoscale). If order bars may also be located outside the chart, do not select this option.

Autoscale Chart Trader Markers

Enabling this option scales the chart so that all chart trader markers are visible.

Link Chartgroups to Static Instrument Lists

If a value is added/deleted inside an LCG/TCG, this will also be reflected in your static instrument lists and vice versa.
