Hotkeys - will have "Global Variables"

[Mike Medved]

In next beta Hotkeys will now have "Global Variables" - that is a Vars section that will be shared by all hotkeys.

Interesting; what is a potential use case for them as an example?

[Mike Medved]

Simple case: let's say you have several hotkeys that place a trade at 10% of current buying power. You could put that 10 into the global var and use the var in those hotkeys.

Then if you wanted to switch it to be 15%, you would change it only in one place.

More complex case:  let's say you use the formula

Pos>0?'Sell':Pos<0?'Buy':'None'    in the Action of several of your hotkeys.

Instead of having to put that there, you just create a variable in the global bars called PosAction that has that formula in it, then just use PosAction in your hotkeys' Actions.

Woot! Awesome I can't wait for this. Saves me from having to copy and paste my variables between my 20 different hotkeys.
