What Is TradeStation EasyLanguage and How Is It Used for Automation

Execution Report Filed by #8675-309

EasyLanguage is TradeStation's proprietary programming language for creating indicators, strategies, and automated execution rules. It compiles into strategy files that run natively.

The Answer

EasyLanguage is the programming language built into TradeStation's platform. It allows traders and developers to write custom indicators, paint bars, show-me studies, and — most importantly — automated strategies. A strategy written in EasyLanguage defines entry conditions, exit conditions, position sizing, and risk parameters in code. Once compiled, it produces a Strategy Logic File (.ELD) that can be applied to any chart symbol. The strategy then monitors the market in real time and executes trades automatically when conditions are met. No manual intervention. No clicking buttons. No watching charts.
