Hi Cone,
When running a scan the software produces candidate signals, up to the maximum number set in the ‘Max Entry Signals’ field as set on the Strategy Settings tab. The software however does not indicate, based on available equity and weighting, which of the signals it will take.
Would it be possible to add functionality to allow a user to quickly determine what stocks are to be bought? Either a small colored dot next to the stock symbol or a new column that indicates for each symbol to be purchased. Another possible option would be a button along the top that when clicked offers a filtered signal list.

Which ones will be taken are based on the Transaction Weight, which is a sortable column in the Signals tab. Signals with the higher Weight have a higher priority. Adding a visual cue is a good idea and I'll tag this as a #FeatureRequest.

A C# coded strategy can add a signal name to the PlaceTrade method call so when you mouse over the trade triangles on the Chart, that signal name will show up.
Whether or not this is an option for a block-based strategy I don't know.
Thanks for considering the suggestion. Although the signals can be sorted by weight, having a visual clue will make placing orders based on higher priority orders within the available equity a more efficient process. Particularly when working with more than one trading system.
