Is there any way to report actual trading performance in MultiCharts? You much inferior competitor (NT) actually has a way to report trades similar to the back-test reports, if the live account, instrument and time frame are selected. I cannot find anywhere in MC that this is hiding so i am assuming...

Online, and DL missing data is enabled.
Yes, no problem i can plot any chart with eSignal, or IB, or ASCII with the box left unchecked, or checked.

CanOz

Yup. got it.

thanks!


CanOz

It seems that the settings also need to be filled in on the individual chart as well....Not just from the main menu.

I am using MC with IB and during my first day of live systematic trading, my strategy is executing trades against my markets as planned..... but it is using the wrong account, even though i have my futures Uxxbbxx account specified under broker profiles, its using Uyyxxyy. Because i do not have futu...

Following the wiki instruction here: http://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Creating_Charts#Merging_Data_Sources_into_a_Single_Chart to try and merge my historical ascii data for the HSI into eSignal real time data and although it lists the instruments correctly under 'format instrume...

Hi TJ,

MultiCharts Version 7.4 (Build 4953)

I was searching for the S&P mid-cap 400 e-mini, as well as the 6E, Euro currency futures. It doesn't matter what it is, i have trouble with everything that i have not already found once.

CanOz

Guys, I'm really struggling to use this search engine. I can copy the esignal symbol or description direct and it still cannot find it.

Same goes for IB, what the heck?

CanOz

Xie Xie.

Did you try to compile it? It doesn't like _TEMA, say "unknown Function".

CanOz

Thanks TJ, i should have looked closer.

CanOZ

Can you reproduce this EL Code to use in MultiCharts please? _TEMA (Function - set Return Type to double) { TASC May 2012 } { Sentiment Zone Oscillator } inputs: Price( numericseries ), { value to average } Length( numericsimple ) ; { length of average } variables: EMA1( 0 ), EMA2( 0 ), EMA3( 0 ) ; ...

Thanks TJ. QUESTION...what is the proper way to code a daily gap up if the daily chart is data2? I can code it when the daily chart is data1, but for my study and strat I need data1 to be a 1 minute chart of the index for the entry and the daily chart to be the first condition, the gap up. In this c...

Thanks SP trader. I'm working my way through the learning curve now. I coded up a 'popgun' style pattern as a show me study and found two patterns like this one. They don't occur all the often on a 15 minute chart of the DAX but i would like to test it out on more data. Can someone suggest the best ...

Thanks folks, i haven't tested yet because even the Hang Send is closed for Easter, i think it was my mistake...i simply didn't have the IB chart loaded....I'm still thinking in NT (which i use as well) where you have the primary data source then the broker for orders... Pretty sure this will be the...

I can try placing orders on the paper trader tomorrow, for now I've got the live account on NT so I'll have to wait. It must be a setting that I'm missing....
CanOz

The order says "pre cancelled"

My algo had this order up well before price touched it...even then price actually crossed it several times and still no fill on the IB Sim, the order was not sent.. MC says i'm connected to IB ok.....help...

Cheers for that....is there anything in particular that i need to be looking out for when copying old EL to PowerLanguage?

Cheers,


CanOz

I think its obvious what I'm trying to do here, but i can't get it compiled...could you please give me a hand? Its old Easy Language... If Open next bar > high this bar or open of next bar < low of this bar then buy next bar at close of this bar + range of the bar on stop; if open of next bar < low ...

thanks Henry, please see below......... Q = Is it IB data feed? A = No, its actually a historical chart using ASCII data Q = Please let me know what exact version and build number of MultiCharts you are running (Help tab->About MultiCharts).A = MultiCharts Version 7.4 (Build 4953) Q = Have you tried...

Can someone help me to determine what is causing this?
Here is an issue i am having with the SPI futures. These erroneous opens are not showing up in the data file. MC must be interpreting that data in a strange way that i have yet to determine.

Anyone come across this before?

Cheers,


CanOz

Hi Folks, i have a ton of data, mostly EOD that is clean and in continuous backadjusted and spliced for futures, stock and Forex. Some is in Metastock format (,dat?) and some in .csv. I also have 5 years of Hang Seng and 3 years of DAX tick data that i can write into 1 m, 5 minute or whatever. I wou...

I've changed it, but when i do the performance report, it still is using 1$ to calculate....Frustrating....update...reloaded the symbol and voila! Thanks !

Hiya folks,

I'm running a strategy on the DAX and my main problem is that its counting 1 point as 1 Dollar. I saw a place where i can change that to Euros (calculated) but how do i tell it that each point is 25 Euros (multiplier)?

Cheers,


CanOz
