What are the templates, and which one should I start with?

Thirteen ready-made datasets. Most need nothing but a ticker, and several need no logging at all — they compute everything and ship with studies already built.

Press Templates to open the shelf. Each card gives the template's name, what it holds, and a Use template button; the ones that need a ticker have a small box next to the button to type it into.

Using one creates the dataset, adds its columns, fetches the daily bars, backfills every computed column across all the history the feed has, and builds the studies the template ships with. On a liquid future that is around five years and a couple of thousand rows, and it takes seconds rather than minutes.

The thirteen split into three groups.

Zero logging — everything is computed. Start here. There is nothing to fill in, ever.

Computed, with a little logging.

Logging-first.

If you are starting cold, Daily Quartile Log on whatever you actually trade is the one to take. It is the template the rest of this page's examples come from, and it earns its keep without you logging a thing.
