Grimoire Tips & Tricks
Dive into the magical world of Grimoire, the heart and soul of QuantMage’s strategy crafting and backtesting tool. Whether you’re a seasoned mage or just starting your journey in the mystical lands of finance, mastering Grimoire is key. Let this guide be your spellbook to flatten that learning curve!
Undo/Redo
Mistakes? No worries! The top toolbar’s undo/redo buttons are your time-travel spells for spell crafting. A simple click can rewind or fast-forward your actions.
Search
Finding that elusive spell component is a breeze with the search tool, right at your fingertips on the top toolbar. It’s like having your own magical compass.
Ticker Replace
Changing tickers across your entire spell can feel like a daunting quest. Fear not! The ticker replace tool works like a charm, allowing you to swap tickers in a single, graceful motion. Choose to update indicator tickers or trade tickers with just a few clicks.
Universal Collapse/Expand
Preserve your scroll’s integrity (and your sanity) by collapsing or expanding all incantations at once. This slider tool is perfect for managing your workspace, especially when your spell starts to sprawl.
Condition Copy/Paste
Copy and paste conditions across incantations with the ease of a wand wave. Just hover on a condition and click the copy button that appears.
Incantation Copy/Paste
Replicate your incantations with the right-click menu on their headers. It’s like having an echo spell for your most complex magics.
Incantation Labels
Labeling your incantations clears the fog, making your spells transparent to fellow mages (and to your future self). A simple right-click on the header reveals this naming charm.
Wrap With
Ever found yourself needing to envelope an existing incantation in another, such as Weighted? You can do it on the fly, no tedious copy-pasting required. It’s like having a magic wand that fine-tunes your spells with a simple gesture. You can also use this same trick to wrap any condition with All Of or Any Of:
Ticker Typing
As you type a ticker, Grimoire will reveal matching ones from the ether. Select from the list or hit Enter once you fully type it to confirm your choice. The latter does its magic in a case-insensitive way.
Custom Weight Slider
The slider, which shows up when you right-click on a custom weight edit, automagically recalibrates the other weights so that the sum can remain at 100%. Manually typing a number in each edit is still an option for those who prefer a full control.
All Of / Any Of Switch
Deciding between All Of for that tight-knit logical intersection and Any Of for a broader logical union can be a bit like choosing between coffee or tea in the morning - both have their time and place. You can switch between these logical operators with just a right-click. This eliminates the need to manually copy and paste conditions, making your strategy editing process as smooth as a well-oiled machine.
Case Annotations
Annotate your strategic decisions within If/Else, Enter/Exit, and Switch incantations. It’s like leaving breadcrumbs for those who follow in your mystical footsteps. Right-click on Then/Else for If/Else (Then enter/Then exit to for Enter/Exit, For the case wheres for Switch) to reveal the annotation option.
Adhoc Synchronized Editing
Wave your wand for synchronized editing across your spell, making repetitive tasks vanish. Dive deeper into this sorcery here.
Embrace these enchantments to wield Grimoire with confidence and grace. May your spells be ever victorious!
