Signal: Margin alert

Nikolay.Gekht · Mon Oct 18, 2010 11:11 am

Update: 1) Percentage calculation is fixed The signal checks up to five conditions and shows alerts/plays sound and/or sends email when the chosen account (or any of the available accounts) available margin falls below the specified level. The level can be specified either in absolute value or in percents to the account equity.

The signal checks margin every N seconds, where N is the interval chosen in the parameters.

Download signal:

The discussion on how to configure the email alerts in Trading Station/Marketscope can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2232

The author of this signal is Alexander Samolov (uglock on this forum).

Margin_Alert_2.lua

The Strategy was revised and updated on December 17, 2018.

I’ve created a version of the signal that will work without Autotrading Patch (MarginAlert091010.lua). Updates in this version are based on ticks rather than on timer, so if there are no price updates - signal will not recalc the margin levels.

MarginAlert091010.lua

Also I’ve fixed the problem with percentage margin levels in the initial indicator. Please update to the attached version (MarginAlert.lua in the first post).

Hi there - I know this an old thread, but would either of you mind to let me know which of these is the most recent - and if there’s a difference between the original and “MarginAlert091010.lua.”

Do either (or both) work on today’s TradeStation?

I’m actually looking for something that would manage the number of open positions I have in a given strategy, based on available margin. Does anything like that exist?

Thanks a lot 4x4

All old code should be compatible.

Position sizing algorithm can be incorporated to any given strategy. Another approach would be to have strategy that will constantly check the number of open positions by any given strategy.

Hi Apprentice,

Conditional yes.

A prerequisite is that any position open by strategy is tagged. An example is the “Custom Identifier” for Laguerre_Filter Strategy viewtopic.php?f=31&t=62331
