Hello,

I have updated MC and also installed the above updater.

here is the error message I receive by MC:

Please advise.

what's the next (formal) step in order to achieve Tradingview integration?

fibonaccci

any news about integration with Tradingview? it would very important to have some cheap, even if delayed intraday data of all kind of markets, especially for cryptocurrencies MC provides 3 feeds which are either illiquid and/or shady.... As far as I have researched TS got an integration with Trading...

Hi,
is there any change of getting some more cryptocurrency exchange data feeds?
like Binance?
Thank you

Hello,
is there a way to plot volume and/or tick volume with Kagi charts?
Thank you.

fibonaccci

Hello SysInv,

that's what I'm looking for as well.
Did you find a simple solution?
Thanks

fibonaccci

Ok, a very simplistic approach would be:

If
condition-x, condition-y and condition-z
occur (all) within the last 10 bars
and condition-x occurs first (e.g. currentbar(9) )
and condition –y occurs second (e.g. currentbar(4) )
and condition-z occurs third (e.g. currentbar(1) )

then buy at market…

fibonaccci

here are the condition rules I have extended from your idea: {-------------------- Rule for conditions a - i --------------------------- } // Rule for condition "a" count.a = h > h[1] ; // Rule for condition "b" count.b = h > h[2]; // Rule for condition "c" count.c = h > h[3]; // Rule for condition ...

fibonaccci

Mike, thanks for the reply. Sorry for any confusion, you are right I have not provided any sub-conditions ( cond.a …) as they are hopefully not a part of my problem  the below code returns whether cond.a or cond.b or cond.c occurred at least once within the last 10 bars, so it should be the same pr...

fibonaccci

TJ, Henry and Mike, thank you very much for your help. I’m still having problems with my code. Just to make clear my code requirement once again as I do not know how a flow chart might look like: All 3 conditions (cond.L1, cond.L2 and cond.L3) have to appear over the last 10 bars at least once and c...

fibonaccci

can anyone help me please! I want to generate a trade signal as soon as 3 conditions chronologically become true. e.g. as soon as cond1=true (at least) once within the last 10 bars and as soon as cond1=true AND cond2 become true (at least) once within the last 10 bars and as soon as cond1=true AND c...

fibonaccci

Andrew, by adding the two lines my strategy starts anew as there are no open positions in the past (bar). Trading starts when I turn the Status to ON under Format Signal then activate to SA mode. This way my discretionary decision ( go Long or Short, time, pricelevel) determines when to start automa...

fibonaccci

Andrew, thanks for the information which I have to try it out in live trading. I figured out something different: add the following lines to the strategy and then turn the Status to ON under Format Signal then activate to SA mode. Is this procedure Ok? if date = currentdate then if time > currenttim...

fibonaccci

After making a discretionary trading decision whether to go long or short I’d like to activate either a short-only or long-only scaling strategy which should work fully automated. Is it possible with MC to start such a strategy with a market order (e.g. buy at market;) by activating the “Automate Or...

fibonaccci

can I use the reserved word "NOT" in order to negate a condition?
e.g. if not x<y then ...
Thanks

TJ, I’d like to calculate the stop loss level and the PositionSize for a strategy with the %Risk formula. Then set a trailing stop. PositionSize = (Equity*%Risk)/Volatility Std Dev 50,000 = (100,000 * 0.0015)/0.0030 1. Current(Starting)Balance = AccountEquity = i_ClosedEquity + AccountStart or if po...

@TJ, thanks for the hint. The only information about Array construction I have found was here: http://markplex.com/free-tutorials/tutorial-7/ But still I do not have a clue how to do this! Question: what kind of Array do I need? Would the capacity for such an Array be much lower/higher than data2 ca...

Is it possible to create indicators/strategies based on „Synthetic” Open, High, Low, Close bars e.g. by cumulating 5 bars of 1 minute timeframe to 1 bar of 5 minutes timeframe?

By doing this one can create indicators/systems based on multiple timeframes without using data2, data3 etc.

thanks

fibonaccci

here is a code for i_OpenEquity and an Average of i_OpenEquity, how can I use this Indicator in order to trigger Exits, although I know that backtesting is not possible. Thanks Inputs: MALength(20), StartingCapital( 100000 ), RSILength(14); Variables: stratOpenEquity(0), stratClosedEquity(0), maValu...

fibonaccci

Hi,

is it possible to use i_OpenEquity and the Moving Avg of the EquityCurve for a trading system to close out the position for backtesting and in real time trading?
Are there any simple coding examples?

Thank you

fibonaccci

TJ, let’s make it simpler because it is probably too easy for you: forget about MACD, let’s say condition = 1% down move at one single bar …whatever… I just want to use for further calculations in the future the price information (e.g. Low of bar 0) of a specific bar (condition=true = 1% down move) ...

fibonaccci

TJ,

here is a screenshot for my vision.
The Low of bar with the highest high on this chart is the trigger level.
my condition was the wrong one, sorry.

Code: Select all






condition1 = CurrentBar > 2 and var1[1] > var0[1] and var1 < var0 ;

fibonaccci

Hi, I’m trying to refer to a price level as a Short trigger level which is the Low of a bar and which meets a specific condition (MACD cross over). As soon as the price falls through the Low of the bar that meets the MACD condition within the last 20 bars, sell short. My code shorts at the Low of la...

fibonaccci

Hello, can anyone help please with a simple idea for scaling in and out. After an opening trade condition occured, I just want to add up positions each time the price moves by a certain percentage (x%) and sell each single position when profit target (y%) is hit or sell each single position when sto...

fibonaccci

Hi, can anyone help please with my indicator which supposes to draw a horizontal line in the future from the low and the high of each bar that meets a certain condition e.g. crossover of 2 lines. Does anyone know why it does not work properly? Thank you very much for your help/suggestions below is m...

fibonaccci

Stan,

thank you, that's great.
In the meantime I'd like to keep on trading,
which MC / MBT versions do work right now?

Thank you.

fibonaccci

Hi, MBT forced me to do an upgrade of MBT Desktop Pro (old version expired on the 1st of May), so I installed the newest version MBT Desktop Pro Build 1.2.0.20 and could not connect anymore with QuoteManager. Then I installed the new MC 7.0.4267.203 Beta 3 and the QuoteManager does not connect eithe...

Hello arjfca, thank you for your reply. As far as I understand IB's commissions the cost per transaction is not 2.5$ per 100 k units, but 2.5$ per 100 k $ units. Otherwise you would pay e.g. just 2.5$ per 100k GBP which would be about 1.6 time lower as price for GBP/USD is about 1.6. Concerning my p...

fibonaccci

Hi all, I’m a little bit confused about setting transaction costs in FX for backtesting purposes. I’m using TS historical data with “100.000” lot size. As in MC there is only the $ - Symbol as Currency-Unit, can one assume that the $ is just a general sysmbol for the base currency (first ccy in quot...

Dear Dave, I just installed the latest MBT Pro version 1.2.0.18 as well as the Updater you provided and I still get the same Message: Account E1234567 not loaded. Data feed and charts are OK.

fibonaccci

Hi,

how can I set up a micro lot ( 0,1 = 1,000 ) in MC ?
The lowest possible value under properties is 1
which would be a 10,000 lot size with MBT.

Thank you very much, Best Regards

fibonaccci

you guys are really awesome, many thanks again

fibonaccci

Dear Anastassia,

thank you very much for your help.
I'm running version 11.5.0.5 and I just had to restart the QuoteManager (for whatever reason)
and then it started to receive data. I will observe this odd issue.
Thanks again, Best Regards

fibonaccci

Dear TJ,

thank you very much for your help.
In order to backtest I'd need the closing price of a specific bar.
Actually, I need for further calculations the closing price of 8 p.m. of 1 minute data.

Do you know a solution?
Many thanks in advance, Best Regards

Dear Dave, unfortunately I get an error message when trying to unzip (WinZip 14.5) your file, saying that the file is not "complete". Do I need your zipped file for my MultiCharts?

@TJ, thank you very much for your important tips, as a non-programer I assume that your visual procedure is a general suggestion in order to prove my system right or wrong.

Bruce, that's great that you have experience in using MBTrading API, but what can we expect from you? Are you going to provide a connection? when? How much etc..?

I do not understand why so many traders do not care about getting fooled systematically by their non-direct dealing or non-ecn broker. The great advantage with ecn brokers like MBT, Alpari or Ducaskopy is the market structure, there is no maket maker between the trader and the forex marketplace, tha...

Hi Marina,

can I use FXOrder2Go only with FXCM or I use it for MBTrading as well?
