Symbol Setting

The Bridge works based on "Signals". A Signal is basically a decision to Buy or Sell with specific conditions.

The Bridge processes 4 types of Signals

  • Long Entry (LE): Equivalent to fresh Buy for creating Long position
  • Long Exit (LX): Equivalent to Sell for reducing/squareoff Long position
  • Short Entry (SE): Equivalent to fresh Sell for creating Short position
  • Short Exit (SX): Equivalent to Buy for reducing/squareoff Short position

Based on your Signal, and the settings provided under Symbol Settings, the Bridge places orders in API with complete parameters. The settings given in Bridge over-rides the values received in Signal, whenever available and matched.

Signal Source

It's a legacy feature which can be ignored

  • Input Symbol

    This should be same as the signal in your chart or other application such as Amibroker/MT4/Python

  • Instrument Name

    Should be selected from drop-down. The Exchange value is taken automatically based on InstrumentName.

  • Entry Order Type

    Applicable for LE/SE signals

  • Quantity

    A)    Fixed Qty  :   A fixed integer qty will be used for all LE/SE/LX/SX signals
    B)  Qty from SL  :   Calculates only for LE/SE signals. Risk is user defined points Eg. 3000. StopLoss is taken from Signal: eg. 2. RoundLotSize for EQ segment should be given as 1. Example: When signal received in SBIN with 3000 risk, 2 rs StopLoss and RoundLotSize= 1, Bridge will place order with quantity 1500. For LX/SX signals, qty is taken based on last sent LE/SE signal (regardless they are completed or not; Bridge does not checks for NetPos here). Qty= int(Risk/(StopLoss*RoundLotSize) )*RoundLotSize.
    C)  Qty from Exposure  :     Exposure means the order value with which you want to take position. It's calculated only for LE/SE signals. Exposure is user defined Eg. 10000. Price is taken from Signal: eg. 255.00. RoundLotSize for EQ segment should be given as 1. Example: When signal received in SBIN with 10000 exposure, at 255.00 price and RoundLotSize= 1, Bridge will place order with quantity 39. For LX/SX signals, qty is taken based on last sent LE/SE signal (regardless they are completed or not; Bridge not checks for NetPos here). Qty= int(Exposure/(Price*RoundLotSize) )*RoundLotSize
