You can create systems by programming them yourself in ProBuilder language.
A simple language which can be learned by anyone
ProBuilder language (created by ProRealTime) is easy enough to allow users not used to programming to quickly create ProOrder systems.
We wrote programming manuals for you. Read them at your own pace and learn to create your own systems step by step with many examples:
- Programming Guide - Indicators & Basic Functions (ProBuilder)
- Programming Guide - Trading Systems (ProBacktest & ProOrder)
An intelligent code editor
With its intelligent functions, the code editor will also function as a programming assistant:
- Integrated help: a menu lists all of the functions available with help texts and examples of use for each.
- Real-time error checking: the editor indicates programming errors in real-time as you type
- Automatic formatting: your code is automatically colored and formatted to simplify reading and understanding it
Programming assistance
If you have a ProRealTime Trading or CFD account sponsored by ProRealTime, you can benefit from programming assistance by making a request through the dedicated form.
Write to us with your conditions to enter and exit positions and your money management rules while being as precise as possible and we will try to send you a code which corresponds to your requirements.
