Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter/X handles. Here is an example: “entryprice is a reserved word that provides the entry price for the current position.”

A block of code is set as follows:

Plot1(Open,"Open");
Plot2(Close,"Close");

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

Plot1( I_OpenEquity, !( "OpenEquity") ,black ) ;
Plot2( I_ClosedEquity, !( "Equity") ,darkgreen ) ;

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “From the main menu on the chart, go to Studies | Edit Strategies | Customize.”
