Re: making DOM orders independant

Can you please let me know if anyone is planning on addressing this issue/bug? Not being able to submit independent orders is a problem and doesn't exist on other systems.....the user should be given a preference option to select that their orders are unaltered and independent of each other or as th...

Re: making DOM orders independant

Yes, many times....I appreciate your help but I'm pretty amazed this issue has never been addressed. 'First to Orders, then to Position' is set in Preferences. I've tried Brackets and Master Strategy. Does this function exist in MC? ie. allowing independent orders to exist and not affect the initial...

Re: making DOM orders independant

After changing the settings and trying everything I could think of, unfortunately this answer did not fix the issue. If a user has an EXISTING position via an open Bracket Order and chooses to add more contracts.....the MC DOM will not treat them as separate orders and instead, the existing stop and...

Stop issue

When an open order has a bracket attached, stop plus target(s)....and additional contracts are added to the position, the DOM auto changes the stop to reflect the new position size and adjusts the price of the stop to account for the new average price. Is there a way to disable the feature but still...

stock data interactive brokers

I usually just trade futures, I've never had a stock on my scanner. I'm subscribed for quotes on IB but if I open a new multicharts chart window, its says No Data.

Tried adding symbols and exchanges etc., nothing seems to work.

Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thanks

Re: custom fututes, rollover code and alert questions [SOLVED]

I see your point but when I think about it, my initial question wasn't accurate, adding the individual contract doesn't actually solve the problem. What I'm really trying to get to is....how can I alert on a contract high/low since rollover ?....so it's actually not the contract high/low....its the ...

custom fututes, rollover code and alert questions [SOLVED]

question #1, I have created custom futures for most products but the currencies (in this case Canadian dollar) don't seem to be listed in the custom futures root symbol list (IB = data provider). I can add the required months to the symbol list but when you go to 'add custom future', there's no root...

Thanks to both of you, very good idea to have the EL debugging FAQ, think it would be great to be able to go to that for references and just helps to learn to 'think' like a programmer a little more....seems like if you know how to debug, you know programming in a sense.

Re: easylanguage question

Thank you for the help.

Just double checking, the close > close[20]....does that only compare the 20th bar to the current close or does it compare each of the previous 20 bars?

thanks again.

easylanguage question

wanted to run an indicator that compares the close to the previous 20 closes...can I use... if close > close(close,20) then...?

the indicator compiles but I cant tell if its working.

I'm new to easylanguage and multicharts so I'm unable to get a backtesting optimization working properly.

Thanks
