Running, Configuring, and Monitoring Strategies in the Tq Terminal

Summary

This guide explains how to create and save a strategy in the Tq trading terminal, edit its parameters, and start or stop it. It describes a strategy management area and says parameters such as contract identifiers can be changed before saving. The guide also explains how to inspect strategy output: messages produced by print or logging appear in a log view, while a trading chart displays activity for a selected contract.

The chart is described as showing executed trades, periods of open positions, current orders, and current positions. Selecting a log entry marks its time on the chart, and for strategies trading multiple contracts, selecting a log entry can switch the chart to the related contract. Users can change the candlestick interval, add technical indicators, or draw lines. These are interface and monitoring instructions, not a trading strategy or evidence of performance. The guide does not explain how to validate signals, manage risk, or interpret chart colors beyond its stated convention.
