FMZ Trading Terminal Plugins for Manual and Semi-Automated Trading
Summary
This guide explains how to use FMZ Trading Terminal plugins to support manual or semi-automated trading. A plugin runs a code snippet on a selected Docker instance and can return data tables or charts. The examples include displaying an exchange order-book depth snapshot and plotting the price difference between two futures contracts as a calendar spread. Plugins can also perform simple actions such as placing or canceling orders and calculating values. The guide describes creating plugins in several supported languages and adding them as modules to the terminal.
Plugins are presented as tools for short, simple tasks; each run is limited to three minutes, while more complex strategies are expected to run as live trading bots. The document explains module customization and where terminal data is stored, but it does not provide a trading strategy evaluation or performance evidence. Its examples demonstrate platform mechanics rather than establish that a depth display, spread chart, or order workflow produces an advantage. Users need to account for their exchange configuration and verify plugin behavior in their own setup.
