Thanks a lot.

youn56

Everything is ok on their side.
Yes, i tried this.

youn56

Yes, i have.
The Avatrade plateform is working well.

youn56

Hi,
Since yesterday, it's impossible to connect to the avatrade datafeed !
Any idea ?
I have the following message : "Lost connection to data network"

youn56

Thanks,
In this case, is there anybody who could try to download the ib data for WINA ? The close in my TWS (real-time i suppose) is correct.
Thanks for your help.

youn56

Hi,

As the picture shows it, The Closes are different from yahoo and IB !!

Why ?

Regards.

Martin, Have you tried "ELCollections.dll" ? I think it can do it. Best regards. Here is a sample of function i use : Var: References(ListN.New), derniereRef(0); // Ouverture du fichier des references Value1 = ListN.ReadFile(References,"C:\References.txt"); // Lecture de la derniere valeur derniereR...

I had about 80 charts opened.

I just restarted my computer and didn't have the message again !

My MC isn't running slow but regulary, it doesn't work correctly. I think than my code is correct. I just tried today to increase my charts opened from 57 to 80.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I've reached the maximum capacity of 9500 active GDI objects. Is there any solution to increase this limitation of 9500 ?

Best regards.

youn56

Hi all,

Is there a powerlanguage function to know pending orders to the broker (IB) ?

Best regards.

youn56

Hi Martin,

Perhaps, the issue is your file name ?

Have you tried to replace

Code: Select all

Value1 = ListC.Readfile(Index, "G:\Documents\Trading_Report");

by this one :

Code: Select all

Value1 = ListC.Readfile(Index, "G:\Documents\Trading_Report.CSV");

Best regards.

youn56

You can find it there :

You're lucky Martin.

I've never been able to send order to IB without problem (autotrade). I have to send my order every day with IBOSA.

However, the support is the greatest and the best i know. Actually, Henry is trying to solve my problem but it seems it's very difficult to him too.

youn56

Thanks MArtin,

I think all is right on my pc. I'm going to contact the MC support. It isn't the first time, i have too many problem, MC isn't reliable.

youn56

I use the demo files.

Please, have a look to the screenshot.

youn56

Martin,

I've just renamed the dll and same problem.

Some times i have the error message 50 sometimes not !!!!!!!

Did you you find an easy way for using mc with excel ?

Best regards.

youn56

Hi Martin,
I have the same issue "error 50" !
The dll is "elexcel.dll ? Isn't it ?

Do you mean than i have to rename the dll ?

youn56

Hi,
Any news about this issue ?
Best regards.

youn56

Thanks Andrew,
I tried and it doesn't work. i've created a special session for this and my setting for an order (at 20:00:00) are like this :

Hi Andrew, I have tested the code with Ib's papertrading account and it doesn't work. MC didn't send the order to IB. However, the print function works well ! But I can manually send orders directly from MC. Can you help me ? Best regards. if LastBarOnChart_s then RecalcLastBarAfter(60); if currentt...

youn56

Thanks Andrew, My broker is IB. If i write something like that, do you think it will work ? will my order send and will submitted to IB (good for the next day : time in force (TIF) to "DAY") ? if currenttime_s >210000 and currenttime_s <210100 then begin buy next bar at market; end; if LastBarOnChar...

Hi,

To be sure to be executed at the first tick price of the session (i trade with daily charts - automated strategy), i would like to send an order between sessions (when market are closed). Is it possible to do it and how ?
Thanks for your answers.
Best regards.

youn56

code the strategy to send your order the night before,

Hello,
How may I do to do this without tick ?

youn56

Hello,
I want to be sure my order will be executed at the opening price. But since the order is sent (from MC to TWS) at the first available tick, how to have the guarantee that the execution will take place at the opening price and not to the second tick?
Regards.

youn56

format signal-->format-->properties-->Enable Intra-Bar Order Generation

youn56

I think than the IOG option could resolve your problem or this code:
if marketposition = 1 then begin
TP1L = (entryprice + 5) ;
sell next bar at TP1L limit;
end;

But with this code, your "TP1L" will be set at the end of the bar.

youn56

Hi,
I think Your entryprice will take the value at the end of the bar, not before.
The first tick after your buy signal filled (but before the end of the bar), you initialise your takeprofit "TP1L" to entryprice+5---> 0+5.
Your limitprice (5 $/€) is probably immediatly executed.

youn56

Perhaps another solution exists. You can try to custom the session. For us stock for example : QuoteManager --> Select your symbol --> Edit Symbol --> 1 - Settings tab --> Choose Use Custom Settings. 2 - Sessions tab --> Use Custom Session Template --> Choose the template : "US Stocks (Regular Tradi...

youn56

Thanks JoshM,
After vérification, I was wrong. The "barsSinceEntry" takes the same value in realtime mode and in the offline mode. The bar on which a buy limit (or stop) is filled is the bar number 0.

youn56

Please, Let me know something : I would like to know if i'm right or not with the initializing of the strategy informations. As you can see to the joined picture, the "barssinceentry" can have a different value if MC is in realtime mode or in backtest mode. For the "entryprice", it takes the value a...

youn56

Thanks,

Another question please.

Suppose :

1 - The brokerposition is open for 2 days,
2 - the TrailingTrigger was reached yesterday but the SetDollarTrailing wasn't reached,

How may i do to retrieve this TrailingTrigger ?

Best regards,

youn56

Hi Andrew, It doesn't work as i would like. I filled the dialog box to input the initial position and average price. The code to exit is like this : sell ("SL") next bar at c * 0.98 stop ; sell ("TP") Next Bar at entryprice*1.02 limit; The "entryprice" price remains at 0 until the next bar. The "ent...

youn56

Hi,
I am also interested in such developments.
Best Regards.

youn56

Thank you Andrew,
I have modified my code and everything seems to work for now. I will keep you informed.

youn56

I don't understand. Today, i filled the dialog box to input the initial position and average price to my strategy before the opening market. The strategy stop calculated was 98.12. The open was 97.74. Then, normally, my trade should be closed to market at 97.74. Any order was sent by MC. I join a pa...

youn56

Hi,
When i have a look in the MC's logs file, i have got a "Warning" in the category colomn and the message "Invalid destination exchange specified".
What does it mean ?

youn56

Thank you,
Then another question :
I use the BarsSinceEntry function in the strategy. Which initial position for the BarsSinceEntry does the strategy "understand" ? the input filled one (day d --> BarsSinceEntry = 0) or the strategy one (day d-1 --> BarsSinceEntry = 1) ?

youn56

Exemple: I'm running an automated strategy (autotrading) and a buy order is filled. The evening, i turn off my PC. The next day, i start the PC and MC. I turn on the strategy (SA button green) and as the "Show the assign the initial market position at the broker dialogue -->Show always" option is en...

youn56

Sorry,
You're right. I'm confused for this error.
Thank you. I'm going to try again and i'll let you know if the problem is solved.

youn56

Hi Henry, I tried again. I had turned off my computer and restarted it. The same problem appears. Lets have a look to the pictures to understand it. Fisrt of all, i started TWS and then i started MC. I obtain the img3. I filled my login and i obtained the img4. I clicked "OK" and i saw the picture i...

youn56

How may i do to know when my previous session was terminated incorrectly?
Indeed, it looks ok when the markets are closed.

youn56

Thank you Henry.
I have unchecked the options.

youn56

All is right for the instrument. Another information : the SA button is green on the other chart but any order is sent to the TWS plateform !!! I have restarted my computer and launched again MC and TWS. Then, i had an alert which inform me than another MC was already connected ! It was of course fa...

youn56

When i open a workspace, MC (V8 beta 1 build 5091) is able to connect to IB for some symbols only (see picture joined)! TWS seems correct. When i launch MC, TWS is already running. And, when i open the workspace, the TWS's logon windows appears! I cancelled because i'm already connected. What's the ...

youn56

Thanks Henry,
The screenshot is attached.

youn56

Hi,
I'm using MC V8 beta 1 build 5091 with TWS. Today, I've just started with the automated trading and i met a problem.
I don't understand why, on SOI2, my stop entry was cancelled at 17:30:34 and immediatly it was replaced by a market order.
Is it a mapping symbol problem ?
Thanks for your help.
