ProRealTime v10.3 - New features

Improved order placement

Create OCO order contextually from positions

To add a linked OCO order (profit target and stop loss order), hover over a position with your mouse, then place the order on the chart.

New ways to modify orders

Orders can now be easily updated directly from the order tab on the chart.

CHANGE DESIRED GAIN OR LOSS (STOPS & TARGETS)

CHANGE PRICE

CHANGE QUANTITY

New ways to set order size depending on the instrument type

  • Forex: Specify order quantity by pip value or order size

Examples:

If I set for the instrument EUR/USD 1 pip = 4 USD, the software will automatically adjust the order quantity to 40x1K

If I set for the instrument EUR/JPY an order size of 90x1K, the software will display the pip value 1 pip = 900 JPY for that order size

  • Equities: Choose order quantity by position specifying your desired position value (exposure)

Examples:

If I want to buy stock of apple, I can set the desired value of the order (ex: 10 000 USD) and the software will automatically calculate the quantity of my order!

You can choose in the trading options window how you want to handle the case where your specified order value does not correspond to an exact number of stocks:

These new methods of order quantity definition are available everywhere you can set order size in the platform (chart order bar, order book, etc...)

New ways to place Targets & stops

  • For Stocks: cash per position, cash per share,%, choose price on chart
  • For Forex: cash per position, pips, choose price on chart

Automatic quantity orders

This new order type sets the quantity of your order based on your desired gain or loss at any price level.

Example:

  • I want to create an order to enter the market at the levels in the image below and create a stop order and target order based on support and resistance lines I have drawn (stop loss and profit target)
  • I want to risk at most 100 € on this position
  • The software can now create an order for me with its quantity automatically determined by a loss amount I specify (stop loss order) or a gain amount I specify (target order)
  • In the automatic quantity order tab, I specify the loss of 100 €
  • The software automatically sets my order quantity based on price levels of my orders to generate a stop loss with amount closest to the amount I specified.
  • Automatic quantity orders can be enabled from the quick order interface:

  • Fibonacci Spiral - Fibonacci Spirals have 6 rotations. Each rotation size is determined by multiplying the previous size by the golden ratio.
  • Gann Square - the Gann Square is drawn by setting 2 opposite diagonal points of the square. Internal lines may show support and resistance.

Its origin is located at 1/2 the vertical distance and 1/2 the horizontal distance between the high and low points (first two points set). A Schiff pitchfork is created by first drawing a trend line between two extreme points. A third point is then set either above or below the second point. The lines of the pitchfork can be used to show a trend.

Backtesting and detailed report

Tick by tick backtesting mode

  • ProBacktest now includes a tick by tick simulation mode to generate results as close as possible to real-time execution during the simulated period.
  • Backtesting with tick by tick data lets the system determine the sequence of execution if several orders are triggered by your trading system in a single candlestick.
  • For example, if the system generates both a stop and a limit order which can potentially be touched in the same candle (as shown in the image), the backtest will use tick by tick data to determine which order should be executed.
  • This new system allows more accurate backtesting than ever before.
