Forex Tester Forum (Professional Training Software for Traders)

[timpanogos1]

I followed your instructions to create the DemoStrategy file on Delphi. I cut and pasted your code into Delphi, saved it, compiled it, then copied the .dll file to the ForexTester folder as you described.

Then I restarted FT and when I open the Strategies window, the name of the Strategy is truncated to "D", and the description is "D".

Here is my code, which I copied from your post:

library DemoStrategy;

uses
SysUtils, StrategyInterfaceUnit, TechnicalFunctions;

procedure InitStrategy; stdcall;
begin
StrategyShortName('DemoStrategy');
StrategyDescription('Demo strategy that does nothing');
end;

procedure DoneStrategy; stdcall;
begin

end;

procedure ResetStrategy; stdcall;
begin

end;

procedure GetSingleTick; stdcall;
begin

end;

exports
InitStrategy,
DoneStrategy,
ResetStrategy,
GetSingleTick;

end.

I am using Delphi 2010, and FT 2.3

Just to see if it would work, I tried the same thing on the '8 hour strategy' you have in your other lesson. The same thing happened. And there was only one parameter available, which was the currency parameter.

Something is not quite right. Could you help me with this?

Thanks,

Brandon

Where do I go to do that? I've downloaded the free 30 day Delphi trial to troubleshoot some lazarus problems and have the same Unicode issue.

Thanks,

Hi

As introduction, this will be my first post inthe forum. I recently bought FT2 because Iwant to backtest some ideas. After reading the first few stickies on the forum I purchased Delphi XE2.

I am following along on th programming lesson 1 and ran into a problem after compiling the forum first lesson. The compiler finds a problem when compiling DemoStrategy , it opens the StategyInterfaceUnit file and redlines a line, (see the attached file), there is also an error message on the bottom.

Maybe one of you guys can tell me how to fix it?
