in other posts on this forum I read about a PowerLanguage command called:
RecoverDrawings.
I was not able to find enough information about it in the Wiki to understand how it
works.
Please, MC support could you explain the use and the function of RecoverDrawings !?

Thanks a lot.
Massimo

Hi Smoky, thank you for your help. I tried with intrabarpersist, but unfortunately it does not work. Still searching for the error . Any other idea ???

Hi All, I hope you can help me to understand why this signal does not work in IOG. If I apply to the chart in non IOG mode it draws the text box and the trend line. On the contrary, if I turn to the IOG mode it does not work. No text, no line. I can' t understand why. I declared all variables as rec...

maxmax68

Hi,
I wonder if you declare all the variables of a code as RecalcPersist can somehow create trouble for MC in terms of utilization of computing power ?
Or any other kind of problem ?
Regards
Massimo

Hello Henry, have you ever considered to add the possibility to draw text or trendlines on the chart using as x,y coordinates simply number of pixels of the screen, as other softwares do ? Suppose left-bottom corner of the screen is coordinates (0,0), to draw a fixed text on the screen it would be e...

Hi TJ, as I wrote in my code: // // The problem I can't solve is this: // Although vCounter1 and vCounter2 are correctly updated on Mouseclick on TextBoxes, as reported in Print debug, // I'm unable to redraw on the chart the TextBoxes with the correct updated vCounters. // It shows always 0 zero. /...

Hello, as others on this forum, I too would like to draw some text boxes on the chart in a fixed position. I mean a text box that always remains fixed, anchored even when the chart is moved or changed on x and y axes! I tried using the instructions provided in other posts, and I managed quite easily...

Hi,
please where can I find more informations about Symbol_CurrentBar ?

maxmax68

Hi, as you know you can not use the "plot" keyword in signals. I have found that it is possible to simulate the plot via the keyword TL_NEW. Surely for users of older date is a trivial suggestion, but for novices to MC like me might not be so obvious, and it is for this reason that I wanted to highl...

Hi,
my broker and data feed is Webank.
As futures of FTSE MIB expire every quarter I was wondering if it is possible to obtain quotes of a FTSE MIB Index continuous, in order to have enough data for backtesting ?
Thanks

Hi, I restarted using MC after a long time, and I need your help to refresh my memory. For testing I was trying to code a simple reverse system, and I don't remember if is it possible to reverse directly a short position in a long position and vice versa, without having to close short position with ...

Hi Andrew,
today I contacted the management of WeBank.
They have assured me that you will soon hear from them,
in order to proceed with the implementations of the communication interface with WeBank.
Thank you for your commitment.
Best regards.
Massimo

maxmax68

Hi Andrew, I think that if you wait until it is Webank to ask you to complete that feature, then we can also put a lid on. This is because there are other software connected with WeBank which may already provide that possibility. I think it should be a commitment of Multicharts to fill their shortco...

maxmax68

TJ, as I told in my post, I talked with MC team. They are aware that the problem is in the way Multicharts communicates with WeBank through the API. Since it is Multicharts that made the software that communicates with WeBank, here the problem is Multicharts and not Webank. Simply Multicharts must i...

maxmax68

Hi, unfortunately, as I signaled to MC team a long time ago, Multicharts actually can't send buy and sell (short overnight) orders with WeBank on (italian) stocks. You told me you had contact with WeBank team to solve this problem, but month are passing and nothing changes. How long do you think it ...

maxmax68

Yes TJ,
absolutely the easiest way is to subscribe to a dataprovider who has the historical data I require !!!
But I'm sure that there is an alternative way.
I'm trying to export the data as ASCII. Perhaps this will allow me to attach the different pieces of databases
Regards
Massimo

maxmax68

Thanks TJ,
since I use Multicharts on different computers and I store on different computer databases my data, I'm looking for a way to glue the different pieces of the databases to build one continuous without lack of data.
Kind regards.
Massimo

maxmax68

Hi TJ, because right now I can not leave the computer on continuously, I'm looking for a workaround. As an example, when I open a 1min chart I receive from Webank an history of three days. I was wondering if it was possible to save these three days of data, connect every three days for some time to ...

maxmax68

My broker and data feed is Webank. I see that in the faster timeframes ( es. 1min) it gives only a few days of history. I would like to collect day by day ticks, seconds and minutes data for at least one month. For not to waste time, please could you teach me the right way to do that, if it's possib...

Hi Henry, I tried in realtime with option disabled, and is ok, thanks. Sometimes a barstatus=-1 comes out. What's the meaning of -1. It stands for an error or what else?

Hi, I have installed MultiCharts Version 8.7 Release (Build 7408) To understand Barstatus behavior I took a chart with data1(1min) and data2(5min). Then I inserted this code and looked the output.

Tick 1 = condition1 is met -> market order is generated. Tick 2 = the market order is sent, condition1 is still met, the 40 seconds countdown is started. Tick 3 (within 40 seconds) = market order is pending (for whatever reason), condition1 is still met, new 40 seconds countdown is started. There i...

maxmax68

You are correct, in MC with current implementation it works this way (let's say IOG is ON ): Tick 1 -> Script is calculated -> Conditions of order generation are met -> Order is placed. Tick 2 (assume the order is pending) -> Script is calculated -> Conditions of order generation are not met any lo...

maxmax68

Hi Andrew, excuse me if I bother you, but for me it's very difficult to understand how MC submits strategy orders. To explain: I used a platform that on every incoming tick looped the code, and if the condition was met fired the order on the market. i.e. if condition is true buy x shares Well, on th...

maxmax68

Hi Tony and Andrew,
what about using Barstatus=2 in IOG mode?
Probably this way it is possible to create only one strategy that uses close tick for entries and IOG ticks for exits.
What do you think about this solution ?
Greetings
Massimo

maxmax68

Hi, today I tested a code on a 1 minute chart, SA on and IOG true. It seems to me that IOG is good for Limit/Stop orders too, not only Market orders. Infact the script was calculated tick by tick and Limit order was placed on the next tick, not on next bar open ! This is what I think I understood to...

maxmax68

TJ,
thank you for your code suggestion and for the links.
I will try to find my answers in the posts you showed me.
Regards
Massimo

maxmax68

So IOG is only for Market orders, not for Limit/Stop orders ? This means limit/stop orders are submitted only at the end of the current bar and not after every tick ? This is the basic code I tested with the results I told you in first message. I would like the buy or sell limit order stands till fi...

maxmax68

Hi Tj, sorry I am not able to understand your answer. Please be more specific, possibly with a code example ! I'm trying to understand the logic of MC with Limit-Stop orders. And I would like to keep a single limit order alive till filled, without having it cancelled and resubmitted on every 1 minut...

maxmax68

Hi, today on a chart timeframe 1 minute, IOG true, SA on, I tried a simple strategy that had to buy limit and sell limit. Please someone can explain me how MC works with Limit orders? If I well understood, MC sends to broker a Limit order that waits for filling all bar time. At the end of the bar if...

Hi,
I can't find the built in ruler of Mc to calculate % difference between two points.
It's a basic feature for a trading software.

maxmax68

Ok, thanks.
Is there a limit to the number of drawing objects on a chart ?

maxmax68

Code: Select all


value1 = averagetruerange(14)[1];

value2 = tl_new_s(d[1],time_s[1],l[1]-value1[1],d,time_s,l-value1);

I tried this way and it seems to work.
Do you think it's the right way, or is there one better than this ?
Regards
Massimo

maxmax68

Hello to all, I would like your help to understand why in MC in the signal can not be used plots. In my previous platform I was used to plot in the chart my trigger points, such as entry and stop levels. Some experienced user could explain me how to handle this feature. For example, if you wanted to...

Hi, today I made some stocks orders from Multicharts to WeBank. And for what I saw, it is confirmed that for now MC can operate only with normal buy and sell orders, not leveraged.

maxmax68

Thank you for your kind reply. In my question I made reference to a specific broker (WeBank) on the shares. Therefore to provide a correct answer, someone of good will with an account WeBank should try a buy and a sell in intraday to see if MC is able to permit a short intraday with leverage. Anyway...

maxmax68

Hi, I was told that MC with WeBank as broker for stocks can send only buy and sell orders with no leverage. MC can't send buy and sell orders in intraday mode with leverage. If it is true, it's a big problem because with stocks you can't open short positions. Please, any italian user could kindly gi...
