Signal File Import

Import

If you’ve created buy and sell signals from an external source, you can import them into FT Cloud+ in two ways.

Load File

FT4web has a long standing signal file format that FT Cloud+ can import directly. Here is an example signal file. The format is

[Name]
[B/S],[Date]
[B/S],[Date]
[B/S],[Date]
[B/S],[Date]

The first line is the text name of the signal set. Every line after that is the letter B or S (buy or sell), a comma, and then the date of the buy or sell.

Direct Input

Additionally, you can type or cut and paste the signals into the text box displayed in the Timing Window.

You can add the information in the format outline above for *.SIG files. Or, you can include just dates.

When opting for just dates, FT Cloud+ reads the dates as alternating buy and sell signals. The first date is a buy signal, the second date is a sell signal, the third date is a buy signal, etc, etc.
