MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

In MultiCharts.net, is there a way to query the center price of the DOM? Such a method would need to account for the case when the user has interactively re-centered the DOM. An indirect method such as a query to determine the high or the low of the DOM might be useful too. Perhaps it could be based...

I think that not all of the options which you requested are available in MultiCharts v8.8 where the test is being conducted. Several times I have now used the Feedback application to upload via ftp using the default settings and adding the option to attach a log file. If you did not receive them, ca...

Hello, I am trying to get the 64bit version of the ELTicToc.dll which was posted on this forum several years ago to work in a Windows 7 Professional environment with MultiCharts64 version 8. My tests were conducted on a 1 second chart using the demo indicator with some minor modifications. Can anyon...

Thank you for posting your excellent tutorial at: https://www.tradingcode.net/multicharts-net/outputting-data/output-window-escape-characters/ I am relatively new to dot net and C# programming.

After further testing with MultiCharts 8.8, I have noticed that the previously posted indicator called "scaling_lines_hi_lo_a.pla" which combines two plots within a single indicator works properly under certain conditions. I have observed that when "Format Instrument > Scaling > Scaling Range" is se...

I forgot to mention in my previous post that all of my tests were conducted in MultiCharts version 8.8.

I have so far not been able to reproduce the results shown above with a single indicator. It seemed logical to me that only one indicator should be needed which contains two plots, instead of two indicators which each contain one plot. Here is the code which does not seem to work as expected. I hope...

I have written a test indicator which plots 1 line on a chart at a user-specified offset above price. I have written another indicator which plots 1 line on a chart at a user-specified offset below price. Both indicators are intended to be applied to the same chart and the same data series at the sa...

Hello Gero65, I modified your code slightly based on an old post by Marina Pashkova which dates back to 2008: https://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=5608 While no errors are produced in the compiler or at runtime, there does not seem to be any information in the array other than a ze...

When it is stated that PLKit.dll is required to build a dll which works with Multicharts64, should I assume that even a dll which does not make use of any internal MultiCharts or Powerlanguage functions must be built against PLKit.dll if I wish to call it from within PowerLanguage? Using a tool like...

My tests indicate that when using the futures template in GlobalServer, one cannot rename an expired symbol, but I was able to rename an unexpired symbol manually to match the format that you previously suggested. I don't yet know what will happen to that symbol after it expires, that should be inte...

Thank you for your suggestion. Unless I am mistaken, the problem is that when using the futures template in GlobalServer there is apparently no way to manually redefine the current symbol format for unexpired futures contracts, and also no way to redefine the historical symbol format for expired fut...

The excellent "Custom Continuous Futures" feature in MultiCharts clearly has the potential to utilize GlobalServer data in theory, but in practice there seems to be a small challenge which may need to be resolved. Since the most recent contract always needs to be present, at the time of this writing...

Everybody has a different approach to trading and analysis. For me, I prefer not to try to do all of my analysis and trading on the same computer. However, that can cause datafeed costs to skyrocket if one is not very careful about implementation. Computers may not be as expensive as datafeed costs,...

I have also attached an example of some of my settings in QuoteManager for 8 futures symbols. Maybe they are not "perfect" settings, but so far I have not noticed any problems. It shows among other things how one can use the "as is" setting for YM, and a different multiplier for 6J than for 6E, and ...

In QuoteManager, one may need to define the correct sessions, pt values, etc. for each symbol that one wants to use in MultiCharts, but QuoteManager provides a lot of "expert-level" flexibility when it comes to allowing one to reduce annual datafeed costs. In my case, I was able to define my symbol ...

Could the intriguing discrepency described above have anything to do with "tsShaper"? Somewhere here I found a very nice discussion about it, including how various registry settings can be used to control how much volume gets redistributed across bars whenever "shaping" is necessary.

Is MultiCharts compatible with TSDataHub? Since MultiCharts allows a separate symbol to be used for historical and realtime data, will a GlobalServer symbol that is connected to TSDataHub Client work for both historical and realtime data without problems?

Thank you Marina for considering my question.

Quote Manager already does a great job collecting realtime data for fields like "UpTicks" and "DownTicks" for intraday resolution such as "1 min" bars. Here is a question: When Quote Manager is used with TS, even though there is a field for "UnchTicks" in Quote Manager, it seems to receive no data d...

TS Support currently gives people the freedom to maintain their own database of market data, which I believe is a unique and very valuable advantage. Learning to use a tool like QuoteManager effectively (especially under "real world trading conditions") may take a bit of practice, but like everythin...

I appreciate the excellent progress that Multicharts has already made, and I want to thank the developers for their efforts.
