I'm trying to use the StrategyMonitor for the first time to avoid the streaming data conflicts with multiple symbols executing simultaneously. So far it seems to be working (first 41 minutes of trading today anyway). I have six systems running at the same time on 12 symbols, all using 1 minute bars. What I'd like to be able to do is output somewhere, how close each system is to triggering a trade. Ideally, I'd write the value of how far away the system is from trading to a column on the Strategy Monitor, or perhaps the Debug Window or pop-up my own monitor form? Do any of these make sense?

Personally, I think all of the Verion 4 views in the Scans tool (Performance, Open Positions, and Custom Columns) are useful and needed for the S. Monitor. Without Custom Columns, the only option I can readily think of is output to html file, which you can pop up in a browser. See Commentary Window, but you'll have to be smart about when to display it.

First off, you should take a free 30-day trial of Wealth-Lab Developer (5.6).

After that, you'll be able to run strategies and to add indicators. Strategy code can be added manually like How to Run Example Code suggests (WealthScript Guide) or by using Strategy Download feature (Open Strategy... - Download).

Note: the question isn't well formed because indicators can't be added to the Strategy Monitor like Strategies - they serve a different purpose.
