MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

automaton

Hi, OCO groups consist of price orders only. It sounds like it was just a separate market order generated by your strategy or sent manually. Well it was was definitely generated by my PL strategy as an intended OSO where entry fill send the OCO stop/target bracket. How MC internalizes that and conv...

automaton

Hi Kate Looking at the RAPI+ logs generated within Multicharts, it appears this isn't how MC implements the bracket in Rithmic specifically. MC starts out with a naked market order followed by an OCO for stop/target. The market entry order is not associated to this OCO. Doesn't look as reliable. Is ...

automaton

Can someone here from support please explain to me the routine MC uses with Rithmic to accomplish placing a bracket market entry order that displays three single order ID's for entry, stop, and target? Does it just take multiple fill events/prices and average them somehow allowing single order ID's ...

I can't locate the rapiplus.dll for currently used RAPI+ 10.17.0.0 when I open file location of MC shortcut and search for the .dll?

Is it embedded within MC or something? Can you please attach the rapiplus.dll here if possible? Thanks

automaton

Ok. I'll play around with that a little more, and follow up in live chat if the fractions re-appear. Thanks Kate

automaton

Thanks Kate, but that doesn’t work. Seems this is something your development team embedded into the order and position tracker window with the current MC release. It’s not the end of the world, and doesn’t effect order execution, but just curios why the change to fractions was implemented. Just unus...

automaton

With MC’s new release, filled/pending orders no longer show decimals, and now show fractions for futures. I find it somewhat unusual.

Is there a setting or registry tweak that would allow me to revert orders displayed in the order/position tracking window back to decimal?

automaton

Thank you so much for doing that. Good to see it worked on your end. One thing that differs with your testing, is the layout. You added two charts with different Rithmic profiles to the same workspace, unlike my layout which had one broker profile/chart in two different workspaces. I'll try it out u...

automaton

Thanks for the suggestion, but that seems like a bit much of unnecessary work. Can I suggest an alternative? Just have your team create two identical workspaces/Rithmic profiles, and insert two simple/identical pre-built intraday entry/exit strategies into a one minute chart built on tick data. As l...

automaton

I have a strange issue where GLOBEX stop orders get delayed (seconds to minutes) when using/automating a second Rithmic broker profile/workspace with the same exact strategy, instrument, and settings. The delay occurs in both profiles, and when the stop is finally placed, it occurs simultaneously on...

automaton

So Rithmic has now changed its monthly fee structure to $20 per month minimum whether you logon through RAPI or RAPI+? Does this sound accurate?

Am I the only one not getting a visual notification to update to release 4?

Checking for updates shows message “You have most current version”. I’m on version 3 currently

I got no update notifications for release 4. Checking for updates shows message “You have most current version”. I’m still running release 3.

Does your solution target the first trading day of month, regardless if after a weekend, weekday, or holiday?

Please make sure the Price Orders Emulation options are configured correctly in Format->Strategy Properties-> Auto trading tab The emulation settings are configured properly. It actually worked today, but still took a few seconds, and MC gave me this message below. I have a feeling it might be a br...

Mark

You think maybe your being a bit abrasive??

Based on all your complaints and dissatisfaction, I think it’s time you start developing your own custom platform.

automaton

Is the 5-10min delay equal to waiting for next bar, out of interest? Just wondering if the issue is with intrabar oco order generation (an issue i had in a previous version).

Nope. I run 1 second charts. Thanks for your input though.

automaton

Fast turnaround. Great job to you and MC team! Not sure if this recent fix is the culprit: Interactive Brokers connection improved to properly handle the “Order rejected – reason:Cannot modify the filled order” message. But my OCO orders to IB GLOBEX no longer get instantly triggered after my initia...

automaton

yes this is multicharts fault because you choose to include .net as part of the install package. how do i know the furnished .net was not corrupted with something that destroyed BOTH my multicharts and TS on the same machine that had been running them for years. Why are you the only one affected by...

automaton

Are you going to share with everyone the solution?

That makes sense. Just didn’t want to look like an idiot. It was actually an alert configuration problem. I changed check alert conditions from “On bar close” to “Every Tick” which allowed it to work on one second chart.

automaton

I figured it out. Thanks

automaton

It works perfectly now. You guys never fail to amaze me. I sincerely appreciate all the effort you guys put into your product. Nothing compares.

I’m trying to close my feature request, but it doesn’t allow in the PM dashboard:

I can do that, but my goal is to implement the 30 second alert on one second chart.

automaton

Thanks TJ. How can I adjust for this? Would adjusting check to every 1 second and counter > 30 allow a trigger?

automaton

Here is a sample code to check for absence of realtime data: [IntrabarOrderGeneration = true] Vars: intrabarpersist counter(0); Recalclastbarafter(5); counter = IFF(getappinfo(aicalcreason) = calcreason_timer, counter + 1, 0); if counter > 6 then alert("No realtime > 30 sec"); The code will generat...

Anna. Just want to touch base with you, and see if your team plans on reworking this setting issue within the new Multicharts 12 releases

automaton

Is there a simple way to send an SMS email alert, in the event of data feed outage?

Was thinking maybe something event driven within the script that monitors tick bar movement and sends the alert after so many seconds of inactivity

automaton

Thanks Anna I'm assuming these types of "internal intentions" take precedence over any feature request in the PM dashboard. I can't say with certainty that it's a bug, but considering that it skips specific non-trading days (weekends) and not holidays sure make it appear as one. If there is anything...

automaton

Thanks for the info Anna. Has this been approved within the Project Management Dashboard? If so, can you provide a link? I can't seem to find any info on it.

Format Instrument > Settings > Data range > X days back

TJ

I was referring to the general format instrument/date settings on the chart. There is a days back option

automaton

Anyone know why MC format date setting doesn't skip holiday weekdays when counting days back? I tried modifying holiday schedule in exchange settings and still same thing. So for example, if on a 5 minute chart of XYZ stock on 1/2/2018 I set it to 2 days back it still counts New years Day as a tradi...

Great info Felix. I hate making any drastic changes, especially ones that substantially increase my monthly overhead. I'm quite amazed that MC generates enough revenue to support this product, considering their pricing structure. Since MC does support .NET now, i'm wondering if they will eventually ...

automaton

Isn't the MC .NET version proprietary in its own way? I mean like dependent on internalized MC functions, libraries, etc... In other words if I wanted to transfer MC C# code to an institutional grade platform like Deltix for example, it would require drastic modification.

automaton

I know someone who has commissioned a programmer to do the link. It cost him US$12,000. No, I do not have a copy of the said software. And I don't think he is interested in sharing either. Actually this is a big deal, if properly modeled, and linked without flaws. I'd like your opinion an a side pr...

I'm having an issue with the GDI limit of 7500 built into MC64.

I appreciate the help, but getting the ".at_toggle" to execute command through PL is flaky. I tried it on 10 simultaneous charts with different symbols and a few get completely skipped. I don't think this can be done properly using PL. What we absolutely need is global strategy automation directly a...

automaton

Probably. Just noticed that at times, it completely skips the command. Had 5 charts open and one of them didn't accept the .at_toggle command. I have an external hotkey script which does the job, but I prefer to work it within MC.

Thanks for the sample code. It works,, but there is a delay within the 30 second intervals. It takes sometimes more than 20 seconds to execute the commands.

Will commandline within PL code work with multiple charts? When using the command line manually, the selected chart has priority.
