What Settings Can and Cannot Be Changed in TradersPost?

In TradersPost, most settings can be changed after setup, but the asset class selection is fixed and difficult to modify. Choosing the correct asset class ensures proper trade execution and strategy functionality.

When setting up a strategy in TradersPost, most settings can be adjusted later, but one critical setting cannot be changed easily: the asset class. Once a strategy is created, the selected asset class—whether stocks, options, crypto, or futures—determines how signals are processed and executed.

While it may technically be possible to change the asset class after setup, doing so is difficult to reconcile because TradersPost applies different trading rules based on the chosen asset type. This makes asset class selection one of the most important decisions when creating a new strategy.

Ensuring the Correct Asset Class Selection

Before finalizing a strategy, traders should double-check that:

• The correct asset class is selected.

• The broker supports the chosen asset class to avoid execution issues.

In the future, TradersPost is expected to support Forex trading, adding another category to consider when configuring strategies.

Other Adjustable Settings

Aside from asset class, most other settings in TradersPost can be modified at any time. This includes strategy parameters, alert configurations, and auto-submit settings. However, changes should always be tested to ensure they work as expected within the strategy’s framework.

Conclusion

The asset class is the primary setting that cannot be easily changed after setup, making it crucial to select the correct one from the start. Traders should also ensure their broker supports the asset class to avoid issues with execution. Other settings remain flexible, allowing traders to fine-tune their strategies as needed.
