FMZ My Language Charts, Parameters, Backtests, and Logs
Summary
This tutorial explains how to configure parameters for My Language strategies and how the platform presents backtests and live runs. Using a Dual Thrust example, it notes that editor parameters are available directly to the strategy and describes setting a default candle interval, test period, market, exchange, and simulation assumptions. Certain market and exchange settings require removing and re-adding the selected venue before changes take effect.
The guide covers status tables for market and account information, and explains how assignment operators control whether variables appear in the status table, main chart, or secondary chart. It recommends plotting price-scale values with candles and placing differently scaled indicators, such as MACD, in a separate panel. It also describes differences between live and backtest charting and the logs generated when trade signals fire, including the first opposing quote. This is platform-use guidance rather than a strategy-performance study; it provides no evidence about profitability or backtest accuracy.
Key ideas
- My Language strategy parameters are set in the editor and can be used directly by the strategy.
- Backtest setup includes a period, default candle interval, venue, and market-specific assumptions.
- Some exchange and market settings require re-adding the venue to apply changed values.
- Assignment operators determine whether values are shown in the status table, main chart, or secondary chart.
- Signal logs can show trigger locations and first opposing quote information, but the tutorial does not evaluate strategy performance.
