a fully functional trial. You'll have 30 days to evaluate
Editor. The regular (licensed) version can be
purchased here
. Download the trial installation file below and start writing your own trading strategies for TradeStation,
MultiCharts, NinjaTrader 7/8, MetaTrader 4, and AmiBroker -- without writing any code.
Version 1.1.0 (Trial Download)
Posted: March 15, 2022
Adaptrade Editor is a point-and-click trading strategy editor, designed
as a stand-alone Windows program. (Note: Editor is also integrated into
Adaptrade Builder. If you plan to take a trial of Builder version 4.0.0 or later,
that trial will include Editor).
You can use Editor to write trading strategies for TradeStation,
MultiCharts, NinjaTrader 7/8, MetaTrader 4, and AmiBroker using point-and-click user interface elements, rather than typing
scripting language code into a text editor.
Version 1.1 of Editor includes several bug fixes. Please refer to the
Release Notes page for more information.
Note: This download is for the trial version only. The
trial version and the regular, licensed version are identical except
that the trial only runs for 30 days and cannot be activated to convert
it to the licensed version. After purchase, the licensed version will be
available through the license portal online through your account at
Softwarekey.com; current licensees should visit the
customer license page
and click the Download button to obtain this
release. The licensed version is activated using the license ID and
activation password from your purchase receipt (also available on your
license page). See Ordering Information
for more information on installing and activating the licensed version.
Download Instructions. For best results, click
the download link and save the installation file (below) to your
computer's hard drive. Make a note of
the location where the file is saved on your computer. After the
download is complete, locate the .exe file and double-click it
to start the installation. Follow the prompts to complete the
installation. After installation, the Editor program icon
should appear on your desktop and in the programs list in the
start menu.
By default, the software is installed in the folder Program
Files\Adaptrade Software\Adaptrade Editor 1.1.0. Eight example
files are provided in the Examples folder (Program
Files\Adaptrade Software\Adaptrade Editor 1.1.0\Examples).
Note: The installation also includes files that must be
installed separately into the trading platform. For each supported language,
there is a corresponding folder in the installation
directory containing files that must be copied or installed separately. These folders
are EasyLanguage (for TradeStation and MultiCharts), NinjaScript7 (for
NinjaTrader 7), NinjaScript8 (for NinjaTrader 8), MT4 (for MetaTrader
4), and AFL (for AmiBroker). Please refer to the installation section of the user's guide
for instructions on how to copy or install these files to the proper locations.
Failure to install these files will result in errors when compiling or running
strategies created by Editor.
Several changes were made to the AS_OrderProcessing.cs file for NT7/8 for this version, which means
the zip files (NinjaTrader.Adaptrade.zip for NT7; NinjaTrader8.Adaptrade.zip for NT8) should be
re-imported for this release. However, these files are the same ones installed with Adaptrade Builder, version 4.1.0.
If you've installed these files for Builder, there's no need to re-install them for Editor.
After opening the program, the help files can be accessed by
pressing F1. The help files contain the same content as the PDF user's guide.
