MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

kajkanjan

Figured it out!! Just posting in case anybody else gets caught. At some stage I must have edited the settings of the indicator in the PowerLanguage Editor! (I don't know how as I didn't even know these settings existed there!) But if I open my code and go File -> Properties... then go to the Propert...

Hi Henry, I will try use the live chat. The AUS time difference in a pain though, so is it okay I ask just one more question: I edited the code to include a new plot at the bottom of the existing code: plot6(MaxBarsBack, "MaxBarsBack"); So now that I can see this data being plotted, this is where it...

Multicharts64 Version 8.8 Release (Build 8593).

eSignal is being used to power the data feed.

Hi Henry, Below is a screenshot of the error on a stock code GEM-ASX. You can see in the weekly chart (right) the code is working fine and highlighting blue etc. with minimal data bars. however, if you look in the watch list you can see that GEM-ASX is giving the error. I have the watchlist looking ...

Hi all, I have the below code. It works fine on a chart and plots as required on a low amount of bar showing e.g. 100 bars. however, if I put this indicator into a watch list screener window, I need to 'Format Resolution (all instruments)' to a custom data range of 300+ bars back! Or else I get the ...

kajkanjan

Thank you for the feedback and tips! I appreciate it and will implement it now. I was just curious though as to why this is? I thought the math was the math and the resulting value is the value of the indicator? on chart, on scanner etc. and if the data is historically there (for any historical indi...

kajkanjan

Don't mean to unnecessarily bump this thread, but I have been looking at a few more indicators/studies and am seeing more of the same thing.... where what I see plotted on a chart/sub-chart, the values are different to what is being given in the scanner/watchlist!? It is not just for the above code....

kajkanjan

Is this how to do it? Again, with efficiency in mind? Input:PeriodLookBack(10); Array: int myArray [] (0); Var: myArraySize(0); Var: Counter1(0); Var: HoldRow(0), SaveValue(0); Var: MA1(3), MA2(20), ExMA1(0), ExMA2(0), ArraySum(0); myArraySize = PeriodLookBack; Array_SetMaxIndex(myArray, myArraySize...

I understand what I want, the end result is easy to know .... but I am struggling with how to translate that into the code and the (reverse)logic required, especially as I do not have much experience with arrays etc. even more so as I am not sure what is (or is not) possible... That is always the bi...

kajkanjan

Thanks. That actually makes sense (i think!). But just in trying to understand the (reverse?) logic of what I am trying to do then in 'looking forward, or, counting as I go ... Doesn't that mean i need to have some sort of rolling/dynamic variable? Not only do I need to then store the result for eve...

Hi All, Is there a way to count (look back) or calculate the amount of times that a moving average has crossed over itself? So if I apply a 5 period moving average to a chart and a 20 period moving average, can I count the amount of times the 5 period moving average would-have/should-have crossed ab...

kajkanjan

Hi All, I have an indicator (Code below) that if I create a brand new watchlist and a brand new chart, so all settings identical, the value in the watchlist/scanner is different to what I see in the chart. It all seems to do with the amount of data I have showing or available for calculation. This i...

Just tested fully on a couple machines and all seems to work just fine now! Data feeding through correctly and is up to date. 8.5 is fully working for me now with eSignal. Thank you. Great support! :) Even over a pain-in-the-neck time difference! Always great to have a support/dev team who doesn't j...

Hi All, Just a really quick question: If I have MultiCharts installed on my laptop in the 64bit version and MultiCharts installed on my work PC in the 32bit version. Will there be issues switching between the two? e.g. Sharing studies/code, templates, workspaces etc. any compatibility issues? i.e. s...

kajkanjan

Karl, is the time zone of your PC set to GMT+11 ? We need to know the time zone you are using to try to replicate this behavior with the same date/time parameters you have. The two PC's I have tried it on are the same. They are set to my local time for Sydney-Australia (UTC +10:00) Canberra, Melbou...

kajkanjan

Hello kajkanjan, Do you have this problem only when the trading session is open? Are you able to replicate it when the symbol is not traded? Market trading or not trading, in 8.5 on a daily chart, the current day does not show. again, what is weird, is that if i go to a, say, minute chart, the curr...

kajkanjan

Just a follow up question: Changing the plot as you showed with e.g. Plot[1] (100) ... that only changes the value visually on the chart, doesn't it? I am also showing the values of the above code/plots in a Watch-list screen. It seems though the Watch-list value of the Plot is showing the value as ...

I un-installed MultiCharts 8.5 I re-installed a copy of MultiCharts 8.0 (thankfully kept the download)... Everything works straight away in version 8.0!!!!!!! Exact same steps taken, importing all my settings or even creating securities from scratch. Everything works as you would think it should. So...

kajkanjan

Sorry. One additional point. (if it helps anything) When I go to a chart and look at the, say, 1 minute intra-day chart ... the data is showing correctly as of today's date!?!! When I go back to a 1 day chart, today is missing again. Go Figure. Also, if I add the stock to a watch list, the price on ...

Hi All, I am at wits end. I just did a clean update to Multicharts 8.5 (this may not have anything to do with anything) and am trying to get my data back. I exported all the QuoteManager Setting and imported them. I am using eSignal data. (delayed) I am based in Australia and stocks on the ASX Basic...

kajkanjan

You my friend are a genius!

That was such an easy solution!!! (makes me kinda embarrassed) .... but to us lesser mortals, it was no less brilliant a solution.

thanks!

kajkanjan

Hi All, Hoping this is simple: How do I go back and change the historical value of a plot ? I have a trailing stop that will change depending on what happens the 'following day' after an event has been triggered. Sometimes this causes a zig zag plot as it re calculates Yes, it is all in hindsight, b...

kajkanjan

Thanks, that does work.
Probably not 100% what I was hoping/looking for, but it does work in a way so will have to do for now

kajkanjan

Hate to bump a post . . . . but is this really not possible?

I might make a feature request for Multicharts! After all, it is those little things that make one package shine and seem polished and more advanced over another package

kajkanjan

Hi all, I am slowly learning my way through MultiCharts, however, one feature I have used often in the past in other packages or have done manually and would like is the flipping of a chart upside down. It is a simple, yes, and some would probably say silly thing, but I can find it very useful and s...

Hi all, I was just curious, is it possible to do basic math equations with two symbols and chart it? I have used the eSignal charting platform in the past and there was a handy little feature where you could "Create your own symbol that combines multiple symbols using the plus, minus, multiply or di...

kajkanjan

Thanks!

Yes, after making sure I had everything from time to dates to exchanges and session settings identical it all lined up ok.

kajkanjan

Will try that.

But just a note, even if i do the exact same thing with say DJ #F and GC #F (DJIA and Gold futures) both esignal feeds, both set to identical settings and session details . . . i get the same issue. See attachement.
Each 'space' you see is actually another day that you can scroll over.

Hi All, I am at wits end with displaying multiple instruments in a chart. Basically I have data that I am feeding in from eSignal and data that I feed in From ASCII files that I create. I have tried every combination that I can think of and yet I cannot get prices to match up day for day (date for d...

kajkanjan

Excellent! Thank you JoshM.
There is some great material in there that I can certainly use as programming to that 'detail' is on a new level for me.

I will be sure to post back progress.

Thanks again

kajkanjan

Thanks TJ
Will look into this!

Cheers

Hi all, I am fairly new to Multicharts and have a question in regards to something I think in theory should be easy (and very powerful) and I am hoping Multicharts has the capability... Basically I am looking to create an indicator that reads from other charts/indicators. So as a simple example, let...
