Using FMZ Trading Terminal Plugins for Manual Trading Tools

Read the original

Summary

This guide explains how to use customizable plugins in FMZ’s trading terminal to support manual and semi-automated trading. Users can add and rearrange data or trading modules, configure their exchange and trading pair, and write custom plugins in several supported languages. A plugin runs code on a selected robot and can return tables or charts for display.

Examples show how to display a market-depth snapshot and chart the price difference between futures contracts with different expiries. The guide also describes lightweight actions such as placing or canceling orders and calculating values. Plugins run for no more than three minutes, so the article positions them as aids for simple tasks rather than complex live strategies. It explains setup and operation but offers no evidence about execution quality, trading performance, or the risks of using these tools with real orders.

Key ideas

  • Trading-terminal modules can be rearranged and configured for different exchanges and trading pairs.
  • Users can create plugins in supported programming languages to run simple trading-related tasks.
  • Plugins can return tables or charts, including market-depth snapshots and futures spread visualizations.
  • A plugin stops after a maximum runtime of three minutes, limiting its use for complex strategies.
