Superalgos - Incoming Signals

Incoming Signals

This node defines the location within a Trading System at which an incoming Signal will be made available.

Content

In other words, an Incoming Signal node receives the signal information and then injects this data into a specific part of a trading system.

Types of Signals

There are three types of signals that can be received:

Candle Sync Signals

Keeping the bots of provider and recipient on the same candle is vital for trading signals to actually be useful. Therefore, Sync signals are the foundational use of the Incoming Signal node. It communicates the candle on which the current incoming signal belongs. This allows your bots to identify the exact same candle on which the provider sent the signal allowing yours and the provider's bot to stay in sync.

Receiving a candle sync signal can be achieved by attaching an Incoming Signal node to a node. Then adding a child node. Then establishing a reference from the node to the node held under the of the provider.

Note: You can think of this node as the one that activates the functionality in your .

Event Signals

Event signals allow the signal provider to send information concerning trading system events. Examples of such events are the , , , etc.

Receiving event signals is very straightforward. Follow these steps:

Find the event which you would like to receive from the provider's Social Trading Bot.

Add an Incoming Signals node to the appropriate event within your trading system.

Attach a child Incoming Signal Reference node.

Establish a reference from the Incoming Signal Reference node to the appropriate Trading Strategy Signals node under the Provider's Social Trading Bot.

Finally configure how you would like your to interpret the signal information:

Note: Signals do not force your trading system to do anything. It is completely up to you how you use the information from the signal.

To use signal information set up the logic to interpret the signal in the node of the Event's node.

Here is a basic example the registers true when the event signal is received.

 if (signals !== undefined && signals.length > 0) {
    true
} else {
    false
}

Formula Signals

Signals allow the signal provider to send information coming out of trading system formulas. Examples of such formulas are, , , , etc.

Receiving a formula signal is the same as receiving an event signal with a few differences on how to set up the logic to interpret the incoming signal data.

To use Signal data set up the logic within the associated node of that part of the .

Here is a basic example of receiving this data and putting it into variable called lastSignalFormulaValue:

İşte bu verileri alıp lastSignalFormulaValue adlı değişkene koymanın temel bir örneği:

 let lastSignalFormulaValue = 0
for (let i = 0; i < signals.length; i++) {
    let signal = signals[i]
    lastSignalFormulaValue = signal.source.tradingSystem.node.formula.value
}
lastSignalFormulaValue

Tip: The signal object is a JavaScript object that holds all the information delivered by the trading signal. Accessing various properties of this object will allow you to engage all the information provided by the signal. For example, to gather the value sent by a formula signal you would access these properties: signal.source.tradingSystem.node.formula.value

Note: Signals that provide context data will need to be handled by assigning additional values to additional variables.

Incoming Signals Menu

The Incoming Signals node has the following items:

The Add Incoming Signal Reference menu item has the following properties:

action: Add UI Object

label: Add Incoming Signal Reference

relatedUiObject: Incoming Signal Reference

actionFunction: payload.executeAction

relatedUiObjectProject: Trading-Signals

actionProject: Visual-Scripting

The Delete menu item has the following properties:

action: Delete UI Object

actionProject: Visual-Scripting

askConfirmation: true

confirmationLabel: Confirm to Delete

label: Delete

iconPathOn: delete-entity

iconPathOff: delete-entity

actionFunction: payload.executeAction

Tip: When a menu item is grayed out, it means that Incoming Signals already has the required child type that the menu item may add, and only that child is allowed for that case.

Incoming Signals Children

The Incoming Signals node has the following childrenNodesProperties:

The Incoming Signal node property features the following properties:

name: incomingSignalReferences

type: array

childType: Incoming Signal Reference

autoAdd: false
