I'm a bit confused how the memory management in MC work. After some digging (mainly testing different scenarios), it seems to me that MC first loads the necessary data into the memory, and then for each strategy instance (logical core) works through this data and stores the calculations (and data?) ...

It's possible there's a quick workaround for this issue that I have missed, but I believe I have a problem with insufficient funds due to the way the portfolio tester is constructed: Consider a fully invested portfolio in two assets. At a specific date I want to sell one asset and buy a new one, for...

I had the same issue a while back, that MC kept consuming memory. It was running on Windows Server installations, and it was the O/S that caused this. We tried on various versions of it, and all of them had the same issue - usually within 3-4 days all the memory (16gb) was used up and it crashed. Th...

Thanks Henry,

it was enough to add "SEK" to the description and just reload the chart, and it worked right away.

I'm trying to load symbol lists of stocks on exchanges that is not denominated in USD, such as SFB (Sweden), from Interactive brokers. The problem is that I can't find anywhere for a specific symbol to set the currency, and by default the QuoteManager assigns USD to the imported ticker. A specific e...

Since I needed this up and running asap, I decided to implement another library for the optimizations (Microsoft Solver Foundation). This library is distributed from Microsoft and well integrated in the windows environment, where the library is available as a Global Reference. There is only one libr...

After speaking with support yesterday where they pretty much only said "check your dependencies" and that they do not offer support on custom DLL, I decided to post my problem here instead. I understand you don't offer support on this, but the fact that it works just fine in standalone solution and ...

It's my understanding that MC does not offer this. They say Portfolio trading will be available in version 9, which I assume will allow us to code portfolio specific rules before each symbol is executed, but I'm not sure yet. I've solved similar issues by creating a "portfolio class" with static var...

I'm trying to create an index, which is theoretically tradeable, but still derived from a variety of other symbols hence no actual symbol exist for "my personal" index. So far I've solved it by creating it as an indicator, recode my methods to analyze the indicator data rather than a symbol to gener...

I’m having problems accessing the account balance via TradeManager. It’s my understanding that this shall be accessible directly, ie via TradeManager.TradingData.Accounts.Items[0].Balance. Debugging it in VS confirms that this information is accessible like this, but MC throws an exception. I’ve loo...

Much appreciated, great job. Do you have some kind of mailing list or rss or similar to get notified about .net updates and things like this programming guide?

I've had a problem with a strategy which scale in and out of a position, but many times it fails to scale out of orders properly in backtests. I've found that other people had a similar problem in the standard MC, and that the issue was due to SameExitFromOneEntryOnce which was the reason for the fa...

"You can add up to 99 additional dataseries to your chart and reference them from your code." : This is not related to the question I had - I know very well that this is possible, and is what I've done - the question was if there was a way to use bar magnifier with additional data series since it on...

I've been working with the .Net version for a while now, and have mixed opinions about it. Hopefully I'm wrong regarding some (lack of) features so I would appreciate if the MC crew or any experienced user could point me in the right direction. MC state that it's "tightly integrated" with visual stu...

I was reading through the wiki before posting the question but nowhere does it comment on additional data series. Not being able to use additional dataseries is, well, disappointing..

Is it correct that the bar magnifier only works on data1, and not on additional data series? Backtesting with IOG and bar magnifier I get signals that use the close price of data2, but trades intrabar on data1 which gives very optimistic signals. I would expect it to work in a similar fashion as the...

I can accept that you can't give an exact date, but are we talking weeks or months? I have a client who will potentially use MC .NET for his auto trading but is highly dependent on Net 4.0, so I need to know if we shall look at another platform or if he is willing to wait for the release.

As many others I would need support for 4.0 in Multicharts, and in another thread the MC staff wrote the 7th of Feb that it would be "released within 2 weeks". Two weeks has pretty much went by now, so I wonder when we can expect the update?

I'm trying to run a signal from another signal, in order to create a "portfolio" of strategies that can be run from a signal instance. I could create my strategies as separate classed and use the all from one signal, but it would simplify things if I could program them as standard signals and also r...

I'm trying to create some statistics of currency pairs based on daily data, but the sessions doesn't match making this difficult. I'm using MB and in the attached example I'm plotting AUD/USD against EUR/AUD. As you can see the daily bars kind of overlap each other, so the daily EUR/AUD session star...

I'm now back to this problem since I'm past the first solution and it doesn't do what I now need to do now. Again, the problem is to plot an indicator when a bar (or more) is missing in a datafeed. Please take a look at the attached image showing Aussiedollar future and the spot market. The aussie d...

It was a mangled name issue, so it's working properly now (for any other reading the thread, you don't need PLKit.dll unless you want to use MC specific references)

Thanks, I've read that post multiple time and searched the forum as well. It seems like the problem is a mangled function name so I need to sort that out first.

I'm trying to access a DLL from Multicharts but get the problem that it can't find the function. I've tried creating a DEF file, and also using __declspec(dllexport) for newer compilers. MC finds the DLL but not the file. Does PLKit.dll have to be imported, even if I only use a simple function? I'm ...

Thanks for the ideas, I solved it by overlaying the data with an indicator keeping track of the last value instead and referred to this to get the price instead of the instrument. Not the best solution but will do for now.

It seems like you misunderstood my question. Let's say you plot two instruments on one chart, such as SPI and Aussie Dollar. During low volume times, it might be that no ticks are made in one of them, and on a 1m chart it will leave this bar as a whole, instead of making a print of the old price. Ap...

I'm doing a lot of correlation/spread trading, and use data series overlapping in one chart to spot these. The problem is that in very calm markets, on lower timeframes, there might not be a tick at that certain bar. Multicharts show this as an N/A bar in that case, which messes up the indicators as...

I've programmed a simple indicator that shows the change of the day session - the purpose is to compare correlated markets and spot deviations. Each day session the indicator starts from 0, and I'm using multiple indicators in the same subchart. I need all these indicators to have the same range in ...
