These examples are provided as a help but are not comprehensive examples, nor are they guaranteed to work on every machine.

If you have problems, you should still consult the BridgeReference and BridgeTroubleshooting guides.

BASICS

1. start up software
1. broker software (if needed)
2. broker connector
3. bridge
2. open tradestation.   
3. create new easy language strategy, copy/paste one of the examples below (realistic or test).
4. open a chart and apply strategy you created.
5. Orders should queue in the Bridge window
6. Select order and click accept or reject
7. If you click 'auto-accept' future orders will be sent automatically.
8. You can then test other information via the Bridge command reference guide.
