MultiWalk Rollover Monitor

This TradeStation app is lightweight and automatically monitors a list of symbols for rollover. There are no charts to update or maintain. Just one app to run — set and forget it. A popup will notify you when a rollover has occurred.  The rollover is also recorded in a log window and log file.  Never miss a rollover again!

Plus, eliminating bar charts significantly reduces the stress load on TradeStation and makes monitoring rollovers easy and efficient.

MultiWalk Rollover can be purchased here and downloaded from here.

Installation

1. MultiWalk Pro must first be installed to run the rollover monitor.  If you received a new MultiWalk license key file that activates the MultiWalk Rollover Monitor, be sure to copy the key file to the MultiWalk Program folder.  Follow these instructions to install your license key file.

2. Unzip the MultiWalk Rollover distribution file.

3. Copy “MultiWalk Rollover.DLL” to your TradeStation program folder. The default location of this folder is “C:\Program Files (x86)\TradeStation 10.0\Program”

4. Import the file “MULTIWALK ROLLOVER MONITOR.ELD” into TradeStation

5. “MultiWalk Rollover” monitor will be added to your Apps tray.  Click on “MultiWalk Rollover” to add it to a TradeStation workspace.

The first time you run the app, a full list of Futures symbols will be loaded:

@AD,@BO,@BP,@BTC,@C,@CC,@CD,@CL,@CT,@DX,@EC,@EMD,@ES,@FC,@FV,@GC,@HG,@HO,
@JY,@KC,@KW,@LC,@LH,@MBT,@MP1,@NE1,@NG,@NK,@NQ,@O,@OJ,@PL,@RB,@RR,@RTY,@S,
@SB,@SF,@SI,@SM,@TU,@TY,@US,@VX,@W,@YM,@E7,@J7,@M2K,@MCL,@MES,@MNQ,@MYM,@QH,
@QM,@QN,@QU,@ENY,@NIY,@VXM,@MHO,@MRB,@MHG,@ETH,@MET,@FF,@SR1,@SR3,@TBF3,@TWE

MultiWalk Rollover will load the futures contract data for each symbol in the list.  The data is saved to a database for rollover tracking.

Rollover Monitor List

The first time that MultiWalk Rollover is run, the monitor list will include every entry that has been added to the database.  You can reduce this list to only the symbols you want to monitor.  However, the database will continue to update all the symbols in the database, whether they are in the monitor list or not.  This is to ensure that the contract data is kept fresh and up-to-date in case you add or subtract symbols from the monitored list.

Important:  only symbols in the monitor list will issue rollover alerts!

Rollover

When a rollover occurs, you will receive a pop-up window.  The rollover will also be displayed in the Activity Log window and recorded to the log file.

Notice that the previous contract and previous contract expiration date will also be tracked.  These columns will only have values once a rollover has occurred.

You can easily sort the columns by clicking on the column header to alphabetize the symbols or determine which contracts are closest to their rollover/expiration date.
