You can swap the instrument in a set (for example Bank Nifty to Nifty 50) in one step. Tradetron replaces it in every keyword, condition, position and runtime variable in that set.
How to do it
- Open your strategy in the strategy builder. In this example every condition and position uses Bank Nifty Spot.
- Go to Set 1 (or whichever set you want to change).
- Click Change Instrument for Set.
- Pick the instrument to replace (e.g. Bank Nifty) and the new one (e.g. Nifty 50).
- Click Replace.
Every occurrence of Bank Nifty in that set now reads Nifty 50.
Things to keep in mind
- It works one set at a time. If your strategy has several sets, repeat it for each set.
- Runtime variables are updated too.
- Same exchange swaps (Nifty to Bank Nifty) work smoothly.
- Different exchange swaps (e.g. Nifty to Crude Oil) need manual fixes. MCX has no spot index, so pick the current-month futures contract yourself.
- It changes only the instrument. Expiry and other settings are not changed. Review conditions, positions and expiry afterwards.
- On a deployed strategy, this is an edit: pause, exit, edit, then reactivate. Do not edit while positions are open.
