What Indicators come with Tradovate and can I write custom indicators or modules?

Updated over a week ago

Important Changes to Topstep Supported Platforms:

Starting July 7th, new Trading Combines will only be available on TopstepX. You can continue trading an active account on the platform that you have currently selected and will be able (if needed) to reset that account.

Starting August 1st, the ability to reset will only be available on TopstepX. You can still trade your active existing account. However, if the account hits the Maximum Loss Limit on a platform that is not TopstepX, you will no longer be able to reset that account. If that occurs, you will be able to activate a new account on TopstepX.

Can I write Custom Indicators?

Yes! If you are interested in writing custom indicators, we have a module in the trader called Code Explorer. You can find this under the "Add modules" area where it can be dragged into your layout:

All of the indicators* that we offer are open-sourced. Once the code editor is opened, you can see how all the indicators are constructed, so you can start with an indicator and change its properties:

*The indicators are written in javascript
