TradeEvent - Description

This is one of the Start Points from where a strategy begins. It is a method used by the system to gather trade information received as trading messages in Jforex platform.

The trade Event start point gets updated only on every trade/order message received whether it is an order submission, order fill or rejection.

Tips: click on the blueside bar to highlight the candle flow with the appropriate color. This helps to indentify connection source in case of strategies using large number of blocks.

The following example (available from the helper portal) shows how to filter trade messages by position rejection. The trade event start point is usually used with an IF block that filters out any empty message to avoid system errors.
