4. Specify Actions

To Add more conditions, just select the relations between them.

Edit and Delete a Visual Advisor

The Advisor is not active while it is in edit mode.

The Advisor's state

You can monitor your Advisors while the Advisor panel is open. Check  to Enable/Disable the state and  for True/False conditions.

The Advisor's Actions

There are several actions which you can set up to run when a Visual Advisor's condition is met:

• Show Message - in Settings, write the message you want to see.
• Play Sound - to specify a path to the sound file you want to hear.
• Send Email - set up e-mail properties and a message will be sent on the VA condition.
• Place Order - use Order Entry in settings to set up which type of order you want to send.
• Paint Bar - on this action the Visual Advisor will paint the bar that met the condition to the specified color.
• Cancel Order - to specify #Order to be canceled by the Visual Advisor.
• Close Position - to specify the #Position to close.

Make sure you've set up e-mail settings in General Settings if you want your Advisor to send e-mails.

There is two more checkboxes in the action settings dialog:

1. Enabled - uncheck it if you want to disable this action.
2. Disable after run - means that the Advisor will be disabled right after the condition is met.
