Trackin’ With The CSA

In the March Newsletter, we unveiled a brand-new family of tools within My OTA, the Core Strategy Analyzer (CSA) for Stock, Futures and Forex. These CSAs, for the three asset classes, replicate the functionality of the first 4 steps of OTA’s TradeBuilder, which is universally available to work along side any trading platform.

Although each CSA possesses a rich feature set, providing our students with efficient analysis to help them evaluate setups for potential trading opportunities is key. There was one functional requirement that was missing…the ability to save the CSA for the specific opportunity the student was working on.  Previously, if one wished to analyze additional opportunities, they would lose their analytical work on the current trading opportunity in the CSA. Not any longer.

The Core Strategy Analyzers have now been integrated with OTA’s Trade Tracker! Previously, the Trade Tracker was used to log only completed trades to measure one’s trading performance. The functionality has now been extended to track trades prior to completion. Trades can be manually input into the Trade Tracker or they can seamlessly be loaded in from a CSA. The integration between the CSA and the Trade Tracker includes features such as:

• Saving a CSA setup into one of several Logs within the Trade Tracker
• Launching the Trade Tracker from within the CSA Tool
• Additional working-trade-statuses of Pending and Open now available in the Trade Tracker
• Housing the entire ScoreCard produced from the CSA within Trade Tracker Setup Plan
• Ability to create and manage multiple Trade Logs
• Trade Log Dashboard, tracking: Trades Closed, Profit/Loss Ratio, Winning Percentage and P&L
• Base and Advanced Trade Log Modes
  

The power of two great tools coming together (CSAs plus Trade Tracker) now provide a complete and robust solution for tracking and journaling your trades.  Access your My OTA and begin trackin’ today!
