Although it is possible to connect more than one edge to the discrete output port of a given block, it is not advisable. For example, consider the following ADL algo. Upon the first fill, if the path to the MsgInfoExtractor0 block is executed first followed by the path to the MsgInfoExtractor1 block, the output of […]
Please note that all samples in the help library are intended for educational purpose to give insight into ways to approach building different pieces of logic in ADL. Any use of the samples in production is at your own risk. The following Profit or Scratch algo is an Order Ticket Algo (OTA). This sample algo […]

Creating a Basic TT Time Sliced Order The basis of this algo is to submit a BUY Order from the Discrete Order Block at the Bid Price for an order qty of 10 ( Time Sliced Qty) up to a TOTAL of 100 (TOTAL QTY). These orders are to be placed every 5 seconds (Time […]
Creating a UTC Time Trigger and Time Counter Below is a simple suggestion and possibility for how to create a Specific Date / Time trigger in a UTC ( Coordinated Universal Time) time. Then have that Time Trigger also have a secondary Counter Logic. You can also see how easy it is to add in […]
Please note that all samples in the help library are intended for educational purpose to give insight into ways to approach building different pieces of logic in ADL. Any use of the samples in production is at your own risk. The following With A Tick algo is an Order Management Algo (OMA). This sample algo […]
How to create Open, High, Low, Close, VWAP logic In the below screen shots you will see Open, High, Low, Close (OHLC) is simple to create using the Time and Sales Block. Then using the extracted Trade Price value, you use this to create the various needed Value Calculations. Please note: The Value Bucket Blocks […]
This is a possible way to use ADL to take a specific Instrument and pull out the Bid Price for that instrument…. and then create a counter that uses a User Defined Uptick/Downtick variable and monitors the market data. Then when the User Defined number of Uptick or Downticks in the market is reached…. this […]
Exporting block outputs To export block output values: In ADL, right-click on the output port of a block and select Export value from the context menu. After selecting the port, the port is outlined with an orange border, as seen for the fillPrice port in the example. Click the Information bar at the bottom of […]
The Order block, Discrete Order block, and Single Order Container block are used to manage orders in ADL. One of the properties of these blocks is named “When Ext Mod Occurs”. This property dictates a block’s behavior when the order that it is managing is externally modified. It has three possible values: Stop Managing Detach […]
Sharing an algo To share an algo with other users: Revoking permissions for a shared algo To revoke algo sharing permissions: Changing permissions for a shared algo To change user permissions for a shared algo: Algo sharing restrictions
Please note that all samples in the help library are intended for educational purpose to give insight into ways to approach building different pieces of logic in ADL. Any use of the samples in production is at your own risk. The following Smartberg algo is an Order Ticket Algo (OTA). This algo works in a […]
How to Build a Stacked Q Holder type logic This example is a very basic type logic build that will stack the book for both the BUY and SELL side of the contracts market based on a UDV “Initial BASE Price”. This BASE Price will be entered in by the user; and then allow the […]
An Iceberg order executes a large volume order by breaking it into smaller disclosed orders, publicly displaying only the specified portion instead of the full order quantity. The ADL Canvas below shows how the user can define the values for the child order quantities (i.e., 3-10) and the delay values (i.e., 300-1500 milliseconds) to randomize […]
Users often need to turn on/off logic during specific time frames. There are multiple ways to do something in ADL, however the following focuses on using the Generator block to achieve this type of logic. In the ADL canvas shown below, we have two Generator blocks set to AtStartTime. Only the UTC Time is selected, […]
This is a basic example of how you would possibly go about building the “With a Tick” type behavior. The below screenshot shows Order Ticket Algo (OTA) functionality. Note: This is ONLY a sample and for ADL Education purposes. We highly recommend that you build this and test this to make sure it is working […]
The following example shows how to capture the accumulated Trade Qty on the Bid or Offer in a specific time frame. In this example, the time frame is every five (5) seconds.
Testing OMA Logic from the ADL Design Canvas First thing is you build your normal OMA algo logic. This can include your management logic of the existing manual order, or your Hedge Logic for when that manual order gets filled. However and whatever it is that you build for your OMA. Now you need to […]
ADL allows a number of ways to create technical indicators. In this article, we focus on creating time series bars for OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) and VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price indicators). This first ADL Canvas leverages the Analytics block to update the time series bars at 1 Minute Time intervals. You can compare […]
This example shows how to estimate how many contracts have traded within a certain number of seconds in the past. This functionality is achieved using the Stopwatch Block. In general: Multiply hour x3600 and minute x60 to calculate the number of seconds. Use a Value Bucket to Sum up the Volume traded during each second […]
