MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Can someone code something similar to this? (...) I don't know how trendlines work over the .NET platform but the idea of plotting a line and not a trendline is because we can send it to the back of the bar and it updates in "realtime" when the last price changes whereas a trendline, in the standar...

Hello, During trading hours everything is fine but after a day or so I am missing a whole worth of data when I try to go back two days. For example, today is Sat and when I go back 2 days, it's showing Thu data and not Fri. I am getting my data into QM via DDE. Any advice would be greatly appreciate...

Hello,

I would like to read a value from another chart, ie a data series withou actually having to have a another chart overlap from the one retrieving it.

Is there a way to say GetValue(Chart3, Variable) and gives me the value?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Josh, Thank you for your help. The first method, first try didn't work. Uninstalled, reinstalled, did the C:\MC, C:\MyStudies thing, but no go.

Just installed a brand new computer, Windows 7 (32bit) and the lastest MC 32it and imported all my indicators, strategies, functions from my XP machine.

I will follow-up on my original query after performing more tests. I am trying to completely skip the whole TS Globalserver + MetaServer dependencies and read straight from Excel DDE into QM - and here I am obvisouly running into some unfamiliar territories. Being not able to read into QM maybe my f...

I've set up everything correct and able to receive data once "Test" is performed. Given this, I was expecting the QM to automatically receive the data from Excel DDE the next morning but unless I go back to QM -> Data Source -> Universal Excel DDE -> Edit -> Test again, the data won't load to QM. Wh...

Thanks for the input TJ,

Actually it's not matter of "seeing" but its more what data is on the chart. My strategy is heavily dependent on using

Code: Select all

Disp = GetAppInfo(aiHighestDispValue) - GetAppInfo(aiLowestDispValue);

which is pure data dependent.

mno

So it seems there is only couple of way to get this done. 1. Open/Create the chart say, 9:01:00 and start plotting for that only since I've open/created the chart after the market opens, the 1 day back will be interpreted to the current day only. 2. Manually set the "From" date every time I start up...

Thank you Henry. But I am still wondering how this can work. Again, here is the scenario: The market opens at local time at 09:00 AM. I open up the MC at 08:50 AM and by this time, let say it's 12/07/2012 morning, and the Time Zone is set to Local vs Exchange, and the Data Range is set to 1 days bac...

Hello All, I've just posted a PM issue and I am hoping for support to get this implemented or even better, if someone advise me that I am able to do this already. If you are day trading, whether system or discretionary, I believe this would be very helpful to have. https://www.multicharts.com/pm/vie...

Thank you Henry for point this out. I should of made myself clearer. I meant to say "for" non regular charts, e.g. heiken-ashi and kagi charts. Yes, it's great to have this option for regular charts and would be as useful to have the same option for others. As per your point, I will clarify on the P...

Hello all, I am wishing for the ability to chart only the last X number of bars rather than the minimum 1 day period since when day trading and making the signals dependent to very recent data only, having that much less data, is beneficial.

I am still stuck using DDE but now, I am little frustrated since I am getting different results between same two servers, same set up - I mean everything, and the data inside the Globalservers differ by 10X in terms of volume.

Thanks JoshM, I tried with a tick chart vs seconds chart, and it worked fine today - in realtime. I don't understand why this is making a difference.

Hi, I have a non-regular (in this case, heiken-ashi) on a tick chart and have: if lastbaronchart_s and time > 0901 then begin . . end; The problem is that the if statement turns true before 0901 and I am wondering why.

+1 vote onto many folks who emphasized on : "Charting and quote processing first" and possibly faster handing of external DLLs.

Hello all, Can someone crack MC read (token) only strategy? I have actually seen people who do this in minutes, at least for TS. I am sure that I am not the only one.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I appreciate them and am very relieved that MC will cover both 32 and 64 bits in the future. Through these discussions, I now understand that I should: 1. Stay with 32-bits O/S, MC-32, 32-bit DLLs, etc. and keep enjoying MC's upgrade w/o much worry in the future...

It's great that everyone is getting excited about the 64 bit version but unfortunately I have more concerns than excitement and I think I am not the alone one.. I run multiple MCs on multiple servers and I use customized GVs, DLLs, etc, etc. that are all 32 bit mode. Yikes, I even have TS2000i Globa...

64 bit is great but...

Are you leaving users who are (for many reasons..) required to use

- XP Windows
- 32 bit DLLs that cannot be upgraded to 64bit

behind?

What are our options? Just stick to the last 32 bit version and never upgrade? I hope this is the not the case. Thanks!

Thanks Henry, just did.

Hello All, MC Kagi charts have two choices for reversals. Ie fixed points and percentage. I find percentage to be an excellent choice when wanting to look at charts in percentages rather than actual points.
