Is it possible to use SharedVar Server as intermediate?
https://fx1.net/sharedvar.php

python -> SharedServer DLL -> SharedServer -> MC signal

however SharedServer don't support historical though...

rc76

No worries, thank you Smoky! I will keep give it a try

rc76

Awesome! Thank you so much Smoky! A quick question regarding getting data out of SharedVar app using such as AutoIt or AutoHotKey, any chance you have tried it? I just try to retrieve data from SharedVar using AutoHotKey using DllCall() via SharedVar-a64.dll, it did return values, but not entirely c...

rc76

Awesome. Thank you so much Smoky! I just send the same array question to Fx1 team, but they said this product is not supported anymore. "we do not support this product anymore sorry, all our devs are out of the support, so we canot give you any answer other than at web, sorry for this." Do you have ...

rc76

Thank you so much Smoky.

Than it means that GV can do that same thing as SharedVar?

rc76

Today I use ElCollection , fine to do all i want with arrays ;) I prefer to use https://fx1.net/sharedvar.php to share numeric var rather GV, tradesafe and very fast, with server client to show in real time your var(s) (update/change)... you can also use https://fx1.net/permvar.php to store data in...

rc76

If possible, please also add alpaca.markets as well

rc76

yes please make this happen. More ppl will buy Multicharts if have this features.

Has anyone tried to use ADE in Portfolio Trader and succeed? I try to get data in PT's MM signal and plot it on MC's chart, but seems cannot get the data successfully. I will get this error: 01.png Here is the code: PT's MM signal: Vars: Class_ADE("Test"); Vars: InfoMap_Num(MapSN.New); if currentbar...

Hmmm, so you mean it is possible to use python to compile C++ DLL that is usable by Multicharts?

rc76

I am wondering whether it is possible to use python to create basic logics, and compile into C++ DLL (maybe using cython or something?) that is usable by Multicharts? Because C++ is really hard to write code lol Python is a lot easier. I am wondering whether anyone have used this approach and succes...

Hi TJ,

Much thank you for the response. However my issue is not with Data2, but with CloseW.

Data2 is perform as expected when applied with XAverage, however its when applying XAverage to CloseW, it becomes the problem.

rc76

Got it. Thank you so much Polly!

rc76

Hi Does any one have any experience in applying XAverage() to CloseW under a daily chart? It seems the result of XAverage(CloseW) is very different to XAverage(Close) of Data2 (Data2=Weekly) under a daily chart. For example: https://i.ibb.co/WsQnQRc/03.png Vars: EMA_wk_Data2(0); EMA_wk_Data2 = XAver...

I have a quick question regarding how MarketPosition_at_Broker will work. Scenario: - Currently MC is connected to IB TWS. There is no position in both MC signal on the chart, as well as no position in TWS. - If I manually purchase 1 long position of ES on TWS (i.e. ESH24), this info will be display...

rrams - Yes it works. Thank you so much rrams! Could it be column 1 is its internal index for the file?

JensOhle - Thank you JensOhle! Any chance you may have any idea about rrams's question on column 1?

Will there be any chance to create a version for regular MC as well?

This function will be super useful!

Thank you sir in advance!

rc76

Yes would love to hear more about it. Also like to chip in some more questions:

Q1: AWS vs Azure? (Since we are running on Windows)
Q2: Running 10 MC Charts vs PT with hundreds of symbols?
Q3: Trading Binance Crypto (Location and other attributes best suit for Binance)?

I actually just tried to use ADE, with PT signal as sender, and MC Chart signal as receiver.

Unfortunately nothing comes through..

Have you actually got it working?

rc76

rrams,

Absolutely, please go crazy with the modification on the feature request.

And it is so cool to know that you can add new symbols by using commandline().

The currently challenge with PT (not the Chart) is a means to add/remove new/obsolete symbols, since commandline() don't support in PT.

Hi Guys, I have proposed a feature regarding MC alerts messages. About the error messages generated by MC, i.e.: https://i.ibb.co/rcH5mLy/00.png Issue: While we perform auto-trading: we will not be able to see or track/log the error alert messages that pop up in MC, there are times of multiple error...

rc76

rrams,
Just a side question, do you aware whether it is possible to send data using ADE between PT and MC Charts? i.e. Retrieve PT equity performance or entry/exit signals of symbol and draw it on MC Chart?

rc76

Thank you so much rrams! I will give a try on this!

rc76

It will be great if you can use commandline in MC’s Chart to change symbol in real-time live auto-trading, i.e.: CommandLine(".csy name=" + MySymbolName); It will create many new possibilities with MC Charts and can complement the lack of such feature with Portfolio Trader to update symbols during a...

When using ADE to retrieve the variable value (number), we use the: ADE.GetBarInfo() Where the 3rd parameters need to align to ADE-Sender's time-frame. In the ADE documentation, it only give the clues of daily, weekly, and monthly, as follow: 0 : day -1 : weekly -2 : monthly It didn't specify if the...

I noticed using default Binance session setting (i.e. inside Exchange & ECN): 0000.png The dates for the same candle displayed on a daily chart in MC and TradingView will be differ. i.e.: TradingView's date will be 1 day earlier than MC's. (1) Why is this the case? (2) How can we set the session for...

rc76

ADE is great to transfer numerical value between charts, using:

MapSN.Put/Get
ADE.PutBarInfo, ADE.GetBarInfo

But I noticed ADE.PutBarInfo/ADE.GetBarInfo can only use Map.SN, but does not allow Map.SS.

Map.SS is for string.

Is there anyway we can use ADE to transfer string/text between charts?

rc76

Thank you JoshM, that will be really helpful if we can have some options/examples for addressing the "time stamp to be at the open rather than the close of the bar" issue using Custom Resolution feature, if it is possible at all.

Maybe MC support can give us a hand here too?

rc76

Hi Vlada, is there any chance we can add TD Ameritrade to the list? Thank you!

rc76

Since MC now has access to Binance’s API, and therefore, all of their crypto’s data, I thought I should try to create a scanner to replicate the data of what the Binance app is showing. So in the Binance App’s “Markets” tab, we can show the “Top” 24% Change cryptos for the Fiat (USDT) Markets, as sh...

I haven't decide yet, most likely I plan to write something up like a WPF/Winform as a helper addon like TS can do.

Will keep you posted once I got prototype up

Thank you so much Emmanuel!

Dear Emmanuel PK1, any chance may share the link as well? Thank you so much!

Yes, thank you Vlada. It works now.

Hi Sam, what about Windows 10 LTSC? Will it be a more stable, yet more update to date Windows to use as VPS server?

Hi Vlada,

Since MC15 is still quite sometime into the future, is there any current workaround (i.e. other methods we can try to use) to successfully load the other instruments with same resolution as primary data?

Is MCnet capable of autotrading options?

Hi Vlada,

Yes, both TastyWorks and TD Ameritrade connection will be super awesome.

Stocks and Crypto have super strong demands and MC super suits for them!

I just build the daily graph from min bars, than it works.

But is there a way to do it without building it from min bars? (It takes forever to just to download one symbol of 1 year of min data ...)

Dear MC community, I have used the IB data source for my Daily NQ bars, but it seems the bars are not displayed fully, i.e: - There are gaps between bars, which there shouldn’t be when compared with TS’s daily NQ bars, as shown - I have also attached NT’s daily NQ bars, which is sourced from IB too,...

I have this issue as well on NQ.

I load my data from IB, where my NT uses the same source from IB as well, but NT displays correctly the daily candle, but MC and MC.net (version 14) both do not.
