Adding the Strategy to the Chart:
To add the strategy to your chart, right click on the chart and select "Strategies". Then when the strategies window opens, under "Available" select the strategy that you wish to install and then under "Configured" click the "add" button. The strategy is now ready to enable on the chart. To enable the strategy under "Properties" select the "account" that you wish to use and then check the "enabled" box and select "apply" at the bottom.

Set the time for "Exit" on EminiES24x5 and "STime" and "ETime" on EminiES8x5 to the correct time zone where you are located. The above time settings are for Eastern Standard Time. To run multiple contracts on EminiES24x5 simply change the "Trade Size" to the number of contracts you wish to trade. To run multiple contracts on EminiES8x5 change "Cnt" to the number of contracts you wish to trade and also multiply "DPTarg and DSTarg" times the number of contracts. For example. If you wish to trade 2 contracts change "Cnt" to 2 and "DPTarg" to 12000 and "DSTarg" to -12000. If you wish to trade live instead of simulated then select your account under "Account".
