Transferring A MultiOpt Project to MultiWalk

There are two things that need to be done in order to transfer your MultiOpt project into MultiWalk:

  1. Add MultiWalk to the TS workspace and import the MultiOpt settings
  2. Generate the MultiWalk version of the strategy and either overwrite the old MO version, or create a new MW version.
Importing MultiOpt Settings
Determine MultiOpt folder

Determine the MultiOpt folder path that contains your project.  If you saved MultiOpt to a workspace, then you can find the folder path name on the Settings->Files/Folder screen:

MultiOpt Settings, Files/Folders tab with the Strategy Project Folder path highlighted

Add MultiWalk to your worksapce

In TradeStation, click on the Apps button and add MultiWalk:

TradeStation window with the Apps button circled and MultiWalk and MultiWalk Trader app icons shown

Import MultiOpt setup file

Go to Settings->Project Files/Folders in MultiWalk and click Import Project Setup:

MultiWalk Project Files/Folders tab with an arrow pointing to the Import Project Setup button

Navigate to the MultiOpt project folder and select the file MultiOptSetup.txt:

Open file dialog in the MultiOpt project folder with MultiOptSetup.txt selected

Your settings are now imported into MultiWalk!

If MultiOpt is in the workspace, you can now remove it from the workspace so that only MultiWalk remains.

Generate the MultiWalk Strategy

Important: To take advantage of new MultiWalk features, you must generate the MultiWalk version of the strategy and re-run the project.

Notice that I append “(MO)” to the name of my MultiOpt version of the strategy:

MultiWalk Create MultiWalk Strategy tab with the strategy name field and Generate MultiWalk Strategy button

You could just generate the MultiWalk strategy and overwrite this strategy in TDE, or, as I like to do, make a new strategy with “(MW)” appened to the name.  This has the advantage of perserving the old MultiOpt project.  Click Generate MultiWalk Strategy:

Generate MultiWalk Strategy clicked, opening MultiWalkStrategyCode.txt in Notepad with the new (MW) strategy name highlighted

Copy the strategy to TDE (TradeStation Development Environment):

TradeStation Development Environment File menu with New and Strategy highlighted

New Strategy dialog with the (MW) strategy name entered in the Name field

Press F3 or click Build->Verify

TradeStation Development Environment Build menu with Verify (F3) selected

Run the MultiWalk project

Now return to MultiWalk and click Run Project

MultiWalk Operations tab with the Run Project button, project name ending in (MW)

That’s it!  Your MultiOpt project is now transferred to MultiWalk.
