Default Entering strategies programmatically in Strategies tab

Dear Support
is there a way in NT7 to add Strategies in the Strategies tab without clicking on the tab and Doing New Strategies... When you want to add 40 strategies, this is quite cumbersome.. So I am interested if there is a programmatic way to do this... like editing an XML file.


Many thanks

Hello ericbenhamou,

There's no support for creating strategies from a file, but the GUI can be very fast.

Instead of applying to a single instrument, you can apply to an instrument list that you can set up in Instrument Manager. This creates a separate strategy instance for each instrument in the list.

To enable all at once:
Click on the first strategy row.
Hold down shift and click on the last strategy row. This should select all strategies inbetween.
Then Right Click > Enable to enable all at once.

Thanks dear support for the information.
In case I want to enter in one shot multiple strategies on the same instrument, is there a way to do this from the GUI as there is no file support

There's no way I'm aware of, but I'm happy to submit your request to our product development team for further consideration. This suggestion is assigned ID # 1607. Thanks for the feedback.

Dear Support,
If you also find out a way to modify a file to do this, I will be very happy to know it. I have scanned in the workspace file without finding anything

Thanks
