Hi Stephan
Thank you very much for your continued assistance - you must be very patient
Yes - I think your simplified outline is correct
Now, to use regular code ..............
I currently have each agent coded to
(a) perform every six hours
(b) to produce a prospective trade for the next 6 hours
So far so good..............
Add the prospective code to a master list
I can do that simply within each agent but how to share this list?
I have a Master program which also kicks-in every six hours in sync with the agents and includes the code for the transformation
and it works perfectly and produces the optimal list I am seeking
Not clear how to advise all agents of this result (i.e. the optimized list)?
Once each agent has the optimized list, the code from there on is OK
Hope this makes sense

p.s. I could put the transformation code into each agent and forget about a Master program all together
then my only basic problem is how to advise each and every agent what all the prospective trades are
pp.s. currently the Agent programs have about 2,000 lines of code
