Has the incorporation of the (latest?) CQG API directly into MC moved the OCO checkmark for AMP/CQG out of yellow status and into green status?

Hello Ram,

When an indicator is loaded as an object in the code - that is possible to use the data prepared by the indicator for calculations, it will not do any plots itself. If you want the data to be plotted you need to do the "Plot" in your code, or apply the required indicator to the chart.

Hello 3strategy,

There are some errors in the code - the "datafeed" name is incorrect, MTPA_MCSymbolInfo2 is also filled incorrectly.

For MTPA_MCSymbolInfo2 you can get the data directly from the data base using the ISymbolsStorage.GetSymbols method.

Henry MultiСharts

Hello orad,

That is possible to output information using ExpertCommentary, that is the easiest solution.
If you want to use WPF - you can create a library with all the forms and plot them when it is required. There is no MouseMove event in MultiCharts .NET though, only MouseClick.

There is no reserved word that returns Data Range. You can check the first and last bar's date/time to know the range of the data available on the chart.

Hello Yves,

There is no ETA for MultiCharts 9.1 beta 1 at the moment.

Hello FATSTrader,

PowerLanguage .Net Editor cannot be used for compiling code into a dll. You need to use any dll compiler to do that, for example MS Visual Studio.
If you want to use the created dll in MultiCharts (with PowerLanguage) then it should have no references from MultiCharts .NET.

Henry MultiСharts

For Point and Figure you need to check "Intra-Bar Order Generation, Bar Magnifier on Non-Standard Chart Types"

Henry MultiСharts

yoyo1990, if you consider the price of the generated order incorrect - you need to validate your order generation variables/functions values in the code that generates this order. You can follow these guidelines to get started.

MultiCharts can read Metastock historical data ( it can be any supported resolution) if it is stored in ".dat" file and there is a "master" and/or "emaster" file next to the ".dat" files in the same folder.

Henry MultiСharts

hendrix, the price in the DOM corresponds with the price on the chart.

Please compare the price in the status line of the chart with the DOM last price and chart last price. If price is the same then there is no issue in MultiCharts.

Hello Ram, There are multiple ways to achieve this goal: The easiest solution is adding 1 hour data series as data2 and applying study to it ; Get the indicator values from a chart with 1 hour resolution (if it already exists): MultiCharts .NET FAQ #10 ; Use the DataLoader to obtain data, build requ...

Nuno, if you are using IB FA account (multiple subaccounts) then you need to run MultiCharts 9.0 Release 4 (builds 10359/10360) to have the values available and updated correctly in realtime.

gunguy, price calculation is correct. When you use Trailing Stop there is no Stop order active until the Trigger level is reached. As soon as the stock rises to $100.25 then the stop order at $99.75 becomes active.

Henry MultiСharts

Maybe a clearer set of questions: Is it possible to mix ticks in the left field with percentages in the right field, or do they need to be using the same units? For "percentage" in the left-hand field, does that refer to profit on the position? For the Stop loss, is that in reference to potential p...

Hi Dru, I have tried MCTPO ver 2.0 in MC but cannot produce result generated by this indicator in MC .NET version.

Thanks Henry. Deleting the data in conjunction with disabling the 'Download data before backtesting' (DDBB) did the trick. My past experience was that disabling DDBB seemed to require switching MC to offline mode which is hassle. But this time, disabling DDBB did not require me to switch to offline...

I have MultiCharts Version 9.0 Release (Build 10172) / do I need to dowwload the version above? I have had some issues lately today the charts stopped working > reciving data 2 times but the DOMs kept working. and if not an update does the new version overwrite last? I would recommend running the l...

Henry MultiСharts

There is a single file that stores all data for all instruments. You can delete only all data for all instruments if we are talking about file delete. Otherwise you can delete all data for the instrument in the QuoteManager.

Henry MultiСharts

You can use Bars.FullSymbolData.Count for that.

Henry MultiСharts

Hello orion,

You can overwrite the corrupted data with the correct data or with a dummy data that will not affect the strategy calculation. Otherwise you can exclude the corrupted period from the Portfolio Data Range, or disable the option "Download data before backtesting".

Henry MultiСharts

Hello Morgan,

This issue has been already resolved in the new builds of MultiCharts .NET 9.0 Release.

Hello dingmanhoe123,

Yes, Advance-Decl Ratio requires two data series: Advancing and Declining issues. The study will plot correct values only if you have the required data.

Henry MultiСharts

Felix, basically TJ has already explained everything in details in his post #24 but I can still see misunderstanding here. You should not mix up the MaxBarsBack with the CurrentBar data. MaxBarsBack = how many bars to use for history. CurrentBar = bars to calculate. MaxBarsBack are the bars that are...

Henry MultiСharts

Hello Ram,

In the first case the MaxBarsBack = 0. CurrentBar = all bars on the chart.
In the second case the MaxBarsBack is constantly increasing. That is why the amount of bars for study calculation (CurrentBar) is constantly decreasing.

Henry MultiСharts

Increasing the bar spacing can help to a degree however the issue seems to be when there are multiple data sets added to a chart.

Henry, would it be an idea to create an enumeration to signal the direction of an arrow? Currently, it works like: arrowDown = DrwArrow.Create(ArrowDownLocation(), true); I use MC (.NET) for a while now, but still don't find this `true` or `false` argument intuitive: occasionally I still have to re...

Henry MultiСharts

Hello Ram,

It works the same way as in the PowerLanguage. You can find the description and examples in the Functions & Reserved Words Reference guide.

Hello houss75,

Portfolio Settings tab does not dictate the amount of contracts to buy/sell by itself, it can limit the amount of contracts specified directly in the code or in Format->Strategy Properties->Properties->Trade Size.

Hello tradewiz,

You may want to submit a feature request to the Project Management of our web site so other users can vote for it: https://www.multicharts.com/pm/

Henry MultiСharts

It depends on the amount of bars, indicators, signals you are using. Each setup is individual. Hiding the data series will reduce the amount of GDI objects used by MultiCharts, but it will not reduce the amount of memory utilized by the application as the data is still loaded.

Henry MultiСharts

Jad, as far as I am aware of - Christina is already working on this issue with you. Please continue with her.

The Bid Asks of a Volume Bar will often be invisible until well into the formation of a bar.

The last values are the most critical.

As can be seen from the screen grab there is plenty of room to display them.

jl12, have you tried to increase the bar spacing? Did it help?

Henry MultiСharts

Hello maisatomai,

If you are using 64 bit MultiCharts then you are only limited by the amount of RAM you have on your PC.
