Description

This function prepares trading signals in Exploration.

Signals are visible on the Signals page then.

The C2TradingSignal command is based on Buy/Sell/Short/Cover variables content.

For example 'Sell To Open' signals are generated for those bars where the Short variable is TRUE.

If SigFilter = NULL then only signals for the last used Date bar are visible.

In other words: Signals defined by Buy/Sell/Short/Cover variables are further filtered by this SigFilter: SigFilter = BarIndex() == LastValue[BarIndex()].

If you want to see all generated 'Buy To Open' signals, set SigFilter = Buy.
