AgenaScript is a programming language integrated into the trading platform AgenaTrader. The syntax of AgenaScript is derived from the programming language C#.
Using AgenaScript enables you to implement all strategies, even if they are too complex for the Condition Escort. The spectrum extends from the programming of simple indicators to self-designed applications in which AgenaTrader plays only a supporting role.
Practically all approaches that are also applicable in DotNet can be used: complex indicators, signal display, Excel export, evaluation, chart representation, sound, colors and many others.
The AgenaScript help contains the following paragraphs:
1. Trading bars and instruments
Describes in detail how to access single bars or candlesticks as well as various trading instruments using AgenaScript.
2. Events
AgenaScript is event-oriented.
Examples of events:
- A new candle occurs after the closing of the prior one within a particular time interval;
- New prices are delivered from your data provider;
- An order is executed and others
AgenaScript makes it easy for you to react to this information. The purpose of this section is to explain exactly how this works and which events can arise.
3. Indicators and oscillators
Provides an extensive description of all indicators integrated in AgenaTrader. An introduction of the instruments is given to start off with, followed by the information about their use.
A significant part of this section is devoted to the interpretation of signals, and several references for further information are also provided.
Each indicator and oscillator can be used in your own AgenaScript. In this description you can also find the exact syntax, the meaning of parameters and a code example.
4. Programming of strategies
AgenaScript allows you to create your own trading strategies and then trade them live on the market.
In this paragraph you will find answers to the questions of which requirements are necessary and how to transfer orders to your broker and trade internally.
5. Keywords
Like each programming language, AgenaTrader has a set of commands you can use to create your own scripts.
You should become familiar with these keywords if you wish to create self-programmed indicators or entire trading systems.
