Embedded User Drawings

This feature allows User Drawings (also known as User Functions) to contain icons that represent other User Drawings - very powerful!

Trade Time Manager

The Trade Time Manager allows you to configure up to 4 specific trade rules per day with minute-to-minute accuracy.   The trading rules that can be applied to each period are:

TTT_RULE_CLOSE_ALL
TTT_RULE_CLOSE_BUYS
TTT_RULE_CLOSE_SELLS
TTT_RULE_OPEN_BUYS
TTT_RULE_OPEN_SELLS
TTT_RULE_OPEN_NONE

MQL Code Element

The MQL Code Element allows you to add sections of MQL code to your VTS Expert Advisor.  This was introduced because many traders had snippets of MQL code that was well tested and wanted to incorporate it into their VTS system. MQL Code Elements are available to drag and drop from the VTS ToolBox.

Custom Indicator Support

VTS recognizes any custom indicators in your MetaTrader platform folder (experts\indicators).   Any file in this folder with an extension of "ex4" is available to drag and drop from the VTS ToolBox.  The first time the indicator is used, the user is guided through a process to configure its parameters.  The MQL source code is not required.  Once the custom indicator is configured, it is used like any other MQL indicator.

Knowledge Base (Videos, PDFs, Forum)

The Knowledge Base was designed to create a single resource for all VTS support and documentation.  It is located in the VTS ToolBox.  This data is self-updating: Each time VTS is started, it checks our servers for Video and Document updates and automatically downloads them into your ToolBox.

My Favorites Support

This feature allows you to right-click any item in the VTS ToolBox and tag it as a favorite.  It will then appear in a special "My Favorites" menu folder where it can be easily found and reused.

Looping Support

This feature allows you to define a VTS User Drawing (or Function) as  a loop.  This allows you to process lists of information (called arrays in MQL).

Indicator Channel High/Low

This powerful feature allows you to get the Highest or Lowest value of any MQL indicator (including custom indicators!) within a specified channel. For example, this feature can be used to find the Highest value of the ADX indicator in  the last 20 bars.

Import/Export VTS Systems 

This feature allows you to import or export your entire VTS system, including all of the Elements required to build the Expert Advisor.  This is used for exchanging systems and ideas with other traders.

VTS Functions

VTS Functions are portions of MQL code written by VTS professional programmers.  They support specific requests from VTS Users (like you!).  VTS Functions appear in the VTS ToolBox under the VTS menu and are available for drag and drop just like any other function.   This data is self-updating: Each time VTS is started, it checks our servers for new VTS Functions and automatically downloads them into your ToolBox.

Auto Update

This feature is available from the Help menu, and when selected, checks our servers for an update.  If an update is available, it can be downloaded and installed by clicking.

Import MQ4 Code

This feature will allow you to import MQL 4 code into a VTS system.  VTS will automatically create Variables, Functions, Logic, etc. from the MQL code.  This feature is a precursor to MT 5 support:  It will allow VTS to be used to convert MT4 Expert Advisors to MT5 Expert Advisors.

Full support to create MT5 Expert Advisors.

A template or a function that will allow traders to easily create and customize a Grid trading Expert Advisor.

A new menu will be added to the Functions Toolbox to support all known Candle Stick patterns, making them available to drag and drop.

This dialog will allow traders to build messages for display, debugging, alerts and emails using all available MQL and user-defined variables as well as free-form text.

This dialog will allow traders to create complex mathematical equations using all available MQL and user-defined variables.

As an enhancement to our current Forum, the goal of this feature is to allows traders to easily exchange ideas and functionality from within the VTS application.
