Blox Module Reference

 

Trading Blox Builder has three native modules that are needed to exercise a trading idea:

Trading Blox Modules:

Description:

Suite

Test Suite modules contain the name of one or more systems.  Each system can trade the same or different type of instruments.  Suites can also contain dedicated test-level Blox designed to work at the top level of a testing exercise.

System

Each system must have a unique name, and a system can function in one of two ways.  One way to a system can function is to contain a list of modules that can test a system idea.  As second way for a system to function is to contain one or more system modules that are designed to work at the top-level of how a Suite test supports one or more of the systems assigned to a specific Suite name.

 

When a System name is shown in the system list in a different color than the other system names shown with black colored text, the different color system name is designated to be a Global Suite System (GSS). Global Script Timing in GSS Blox execute differently than how the Blox are timed to execute.  See Script Section Types.

Blox

Trading blox has six Blox Types designed to handle different system responsibilities needed to test most of trading ideas.  Blox assigned to a Global Suite System are restricted in which of the possible Blox script sections allowed to execute.

 


Blox Creation Information:

Each Blox is identified by its names and the type of block that the creator intended.  In a directory, the name of the block, can be arranged in ascending or descending order.  It can also be ordered by it designed section type.  All block will have a last save date, making the sorted order of all block by date ascending or descending order.

 

When a blox is created, these fields should be entered to ensure the process intended is how the blox will perform:

New Blox Creation Information

The Blox scripts that are added to a new block can easily increased and reduced.  To see which scripts will be added to a block when the option is enabled with a check-mark is available here: "Include Default Scripts"

 

During block creation, the full-name of a block, and the Type of block that is intended, are the most important details.  A name can be easily changed, but the section type information will need to be changed so the blox can perform in a different manner.

 

The section type of the blox determines the type of system actions and their sequential test timing during a simulation.
