FMZ Strategy Parameters and Interactive Controls for Trading Bots
Summary
This guide explains how FMZ strategy interface parameters and live interactive controls can be configured for trading programs. It covers numeric, Boolean, string, dropdown, and encrypted string parameters, including component options such as time and color selectors, sliders, text areas, segmented choices, multiple selection, and values bound to dropdown options. Parameters can also be grouped, made required, or conditionally shown through filters based on other parameter values.
The second part describes interactive controls such as text inputs, selectors, and buttons, and how strategies receive their commands. Example scripts print parameter values or capture incoming control messages, while screenshots illustrate configuration and sample currency and trading-pair values. The guide notes that interactive controls require live testing rather than backtesting. Its focus is platform interface design and implementation; it does not describe a trading signal, evaluate execution behavior, or provide evidence about strategy performance.
Key ideas
- FMZ supports five parameter types, with component settings that change how users enter values.
- Parameter grouping and filters can organize the interface and show fields conditionally.
- Dropdown controls can support multiple selections and return bound values instead of option indexes.
- Interactive commands carry selected values or a button identifier for the strategy to process.
- The provided examples demonstrate interface behavior, and interactive controls must be tested in live mode.
