Expanding the Trading Window in TradersPost
Most read
TradersPost allows users to set multiple trading windows within a single subscription, eliminating the need for extra subscriptions in most cases. Traders can define morning, afternoon, and overnight sessions to better control their trading strategies.
A common feature request from TradersPost users is the ability to fine-tune trading windows for different assets, particularly for futures like NQ (Nasdaq-100) and ES (S&P 500 E-mini). While some traders create multiple subscriptions to manage different time frames, TradersPost already allows multiple trading windows within a single subscription.
How to Configure Multiple Trading Windows in TradersPost
TradersPost allows users to define multiple trading windows within a single strategy. This means traders can:
• Set different time frames for trading (e.g., morning session, afternoon session, overnight session).
• Manage trading behavior for multiple assets without needing multiple subscriptions—unless assets require different, non-overlapping trading windows.
Steps to Add Multiple Trading Windows
1. Go to your strategy settings in TradersPost.
2. Click “Add Trading Window” multiple times to create separate windows.
3. Define each trading window (e.g., 8 AM - 10 AM, 1 PM - 3 PM).
4. Ensure windows do not overlap to avoid conflicts.
5. Save settings and apply to your strategy.
When Are Multiple Subscriptions Needed?
If a trader is managing multiple tickers and each ticker requires completely different trading windows, then separate subscriptions may still be required. However, for most strategies, multiple trading windows in a single subscription are sufficient.
Final Thoughts
TradersPost already provides granular control over trading windows, allowing users to define multiple time frames within a single strategy. This feature eliminates the need for extra subscriptions in most cases. Traders should explore this option before assuming a more complex solution is necessary.
