I am trying out Protrader V3 from PFsoft and I really really like it. I imported a lot of my indicators from Empty4 with no problem and it allows me to customize my setup however I want. I especially like the using the Market Depth that they have with the LMAX feed... Their site is www.protrader.com
Can we set up a separate sub-forum for Protrader as well?

HiI imported a lot of my indicators from Empty4 with no problem
what do you mean by "imported" ? Automatic conversion ?

Re: Protrader V3
Yes... I would just import the MQL file and it would work... For example I would click add indicator on the chart. A list of indicators will come up as well as a menu box that said Import. I would click on Import and I picked a MQL indicator file and it would do the conversion automatically.... Works for me really well....phil_trade wrote:TraderDesk wrote:I am trying out Protrader V3 from PFsoft and I really really like it.

Waoo !
Just 5 minutes after creating a demo account, I have imported TMAslope... and the value are accurate !
a lot of work to learn this new software...but some beautiful promises !

Re: Protrader V3
That is how I felt as well.... Also I was told that they will come out with a Visual Adviser in a few weeks that will allow me to do things that EA's do without knowing how to be a programmer... Can't wait....phil_trade wrote:Waoo !

Re: Protrader V3
Hm. If it can directly import MQL, that almost certainly means they implement the braindead Empty4 indicator semantics -- which makes it almost impossible to write non-repainting indicators, etc. That's unfortunate.

How can we see / detect that ? Of course data feed are different.garyfritz wrote:Hm. If it can directly import MQL, that almost certainly means they implement the braindead Empty4 indicator semantics -- which makes it almost impossible to write non-repainting indicators, etc. That's unfortunate.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Re: Protrader V3
Hm, I would guess that TMASlope indi *does* repaint -- since it turns precisely where the market turns. (Does it have an ignoreFuture or similar input?)
Since the ProTrader values are the same, that would indicate it's repainting. Which I would have expected. I don't see how you could import MQL without providing the same (flawed) execution environment.

Re: Protrader V3
on the paper, ProTrader seems to be great : I only find AlgoStudio 2 feature and I'm waiting for support answer for algo 3, but a lot of things to be happy, no ?
AlgoStudio is a programming environment for AlgoTraders. It is an integral part of the all-in-one
Protrader 2 platform.
• Main Features:
• The ability to create indicators, strategies (Expert Advisors) and scripts (macros),
• Support for programming languages MQL4 and C# (.NET platform),
• The History Data Manager tool for creating customized instruments or importing data from
different sources,
• The capability to perform backtesting on custom historical data or data provided by a broker,
• Backtesting of single instruments or multiple instruments simultaenously,• The possibility to backtest multilple time intervals (support for non-standard time intervals
such as M7, H3, D5, etc.),
• The possibility to backtest all chart types available on the platform Protrader 2 (Renko, 3 Line
Break, Kagi, Price Range, etc.),
• Strategy testing in ticks, minute, or daily data,
• The possibility to test strategies at Bid, Ask, and Trade prices,
• Two strategy testing modes: with visualization or without visualization,
• Two emulation types: one position or multiple positions,
• Capability to use functions that provide access to Level II,
• Strategy optimization tool,
• Plain text and graphic reports,
• Editor with IntelliSense support,
• Dictionary with a list of all availabile functions in AlgoStudio,
• Debugger,
