Intro to TradeLink strategy programming
Updated May 18 (2 days ago) by j...@pracplay.com

We recommend you learn tradelink using Glean.

Glean doesn't require programming experience so is faster to learn. With glean you can still learn everything in the tutorials, just learn it faster and perform the steps with less work.

Glean is installed as a free add-on when you install tradelink. Start->Programs->Tradelink -> Glean

Here is a demo video showing how to get started with glean :

The tutorial content and strategies will also work with glean (or stand alone), but you will have a longer learning curve if you don't use glean.

Tutorials : Choose your experience or focus :
