SetAlternateSystem

Sets the special built-in object "alternateSystem" with a new system by index. This is the only variable that can be a system object.

Sets the special built-in object "alternateBroker" with a new system by index. The alternateBroker object can then be used to place orders for other systems.

Syntax

test.SetAlternateSystem( systemIndex )

Parameters

Example

' Loop over the systems in the test.

FOR systemindex = 1 TO test.systemCount

 ' Set the alternate system by index.

 test.SetAlternateSystem( systemIndex )

 ' Print each system name and available equity

 PRINT systemIndex, alternateSystem.name, alternateSystem.totalEquity

NEXT

Example of setting the alternate system, and using the alternateBroker object:

IF inst.LoadSymbol( "F:GC", 1 ) THEN

 test.SetAlternateSystem( 1 )

 IF inst.isPrimed AND inst.position = OUT THEN

         alternateBroker.EnterLongOnopen( inst.symbol )

         IF alternateSystem.OrderExists() THEN

                 order.SetQuantity( 10 )

         ENDIF

 ENDIF

ELSE

 PRINT "Unabled to load symbol"
