arnie,

as we don't see the way your function/variable is calculated we cannot recommend anything.
Please, provide the full code so that our engineers could analyze it.

Anna MultiCharts

Zheka,

Yes, we confirm that for FX instruments in Portfolio mid-point data is requested.

Anna MultiCharts

Zheka,

In Live trading MultiCharts or Portfolio will always subscribe to Ask and Bid data as these prices are necessary for trading itself and for calculation such values as Open P/L.

Maxima,

if you'd like to get an API for developing a data feed connection, please, contact us by e-mail: support@multicharts.com and we'll provide you the info on this matter.

Hello, maxima! Thank you for your suggestion. We don’t have any limitation for cryptocurrencies in MultiCharts. If the data for them is provided by our data feeds, then you can have it in MultiCharts. But as far as we know none of our supported data vendors or brokers supports cryptocurrencies. As f...

Hello, PD Quig! ICE and CME exchanges are located in different time zones: UTC - 5 Eastern Time (US & Canada) and UTC - 6 Central Time (US & Canada) correspondingly. If you plot the chart in Local time zone then there can be a 1 hour shift for one of the symbols which results in extra bars. If you p...

Hello, HarrisonProgramming! Unfortunately keeping focus on the ToolStripTextBox control generated by a study is not possible. When you start typing in the ToolStripTextBox control the focus will always be automatically switched to the Command Line as it’s done in all cases when a user starts typing ...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, giulio! In your code you use xAvarage which is a serial function that is calculated on each bar and that takes the calculation results from the previous bar as the basis for calculation of the next bar. Therefore the more bars on the chart you have the more different the results of your indic...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, arnie!

Thank you for letting us know about this issue. We’ll fix it in the upcoming versions.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, arnie!

PowerLanguage doesn’t have such pre-built function as bartime. Please, check the code of this function and the way it should be calculated.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Zheka! MultiCharts perceives midpoints as ticks, and RT bars are constructed from them. Midpoints are only used for Forex trades. Additional Ask and Bid data streams can be used for extended backtesting which is not available in Portfolio. To check where these streams are coming from, please ...

Hello, ppc! What data range is selected for the stocks in Scanner? Is the "Build from minutes" option enabled in Format Instruments window -> Settings tab?

Hello, Zheka!

Unfortunately, this funcionality is not realized in Portfolio Trader. If you'd like to have this feature, please leave a feature request on this page: https://www.multicharts.com/pm

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Trader 0311! Since I vary the amount of shares that I trade by scaling into a position, I need to regulate the shares per trade within the code and therefore cannot use the strategy properties to regulate the dollar value per trade. So I think this is a bug that needs addressed. Should I subm...

Anna MultiCharts

Walter, Please, come to our Live Chat MON-FRI from 6:30 AM to 12:00 PM EST (11:30 AM to 5:00 PM GMT) to demonstrate the issue with ZAR instruments to our engineers via remote connection.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Zheka!

Midpoint data is requested for Forex trades from IB.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Walter! The engineers have investigated this on our side and here’s their reply: 1) Trades on Forex instruments don’t update on demo accounts. We tested this in IB API Sample and the data won’t come there too. BUT: on Sim and Live accounts trades work fine. 2) Please, specify the following: “...

Hello, stephenfsams! The engineers had a look at your code and they say that you’re using the balance variable as VariableObject: m_balance = new VariableObject<double>(this). This type of variables are only calculated on the bar Close, in all other cases the calculated value is always zero. That is...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, shivax! Yes, to backtest numerous instruments you can use Portfolio Trader. The instruments should be added to the local data base (QuoteManager) first, then inserted into a Portfolio workspace. After that a strategy has to be applied and configured according to your needs. You might also wan...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, firemag!

Please, specify what kind of IB account do you have: single, multi- or FA?

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, firemag!

Please, make sure that MultiCharts is run as administrator and that you're using the latest updates of MultiCharts and TS.
Also please, make sure that no antiviruses or firewalls running on your server that can prevent MultiCharts from proper working.

Anna MultiCharts

Shivax, Please, try to use Sell and BuyToCover commands for market or price orders depending on your needs. If you need an order to be placed straight after the generation, please, use IOG. To place an order on the bar close – don’t use IOG. Please, refer to these links for more info: https://www.mu...

Khalaad,
Big Point Value allows adjusting the Lot size and cannot be set from the code. Please, go to File -> New -> QuoteManager -> right-click on the symbol -> Edit Symbol -> Settings tab -> Big Point Value.

Anna MultiCharts

Gaempi,

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
I'll forward your request to our engineers for analysis. We'll get back to you once they provide any updates.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, khalaad! The symbols from OANDA are coming with Big Point Value = 1. 1 in MultiCharts = 1 contract. But as far as OANDA symbols are traded in lots it’s advisable to change the Big Point Value according to the lot size on your account. For example, if the lot size on your account is 10000, ple...

Anna MultiCharts

shivax, it is possible to set both commands in the strategy’s code. You can try using such keywords as SetStopLoss_pt and SetProfitTarget_pt that will allow specifying the difference from the current price in ticks, not dollars. For more information, please, refer to the following pages: https://www...

Hello, Automeq! Let me address your questions in order: 1. In the Free Quotes data feed settings the upper server in the list has the priority over another. If the symbol is missing on the priority server or there’s no response from this server, then MultiCharts will try to access the data for the s...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, Automeq!

In MultiCharts a point is viewed as the minimal price change which can be calculated as Min Move multiplied by Price Scale (those are symbol parameters that can be found in QuoteManager -> right-click on the symbol -> Settings tab), while a tick is considered to be any price change.

Hello, Trader Walrus! Keeping in mind that pmms_strategies_in_positions_count refers to the strategies that already have open positions, you need to modify your script the way that pmms_strategy_set_entry_contracts is not called under the condition, but at the exact moment. You need to make so that ...

Anna MultiCharts

Radekj, It’s understood that you used historical data, but the principle of Real-time History Matching working is the same in backtesting. As I mentioned, for several bars of Data Series #1 you receive the data (including timestamps) for one and the same bar of Data Series #2. If RTH matching option...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, TraderWalrus! Let me address your questions in order: 1. pmms_strategy_set_entry_contract is called when the strategy has already entered a position. 2. You can do that through Global Variables — the strategy should calculate the trade size and then send it to PMMS through GV or it can take t...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, bowlesj3! Most likely you’ve got different symbol and indicator settings.

The MaxBarsBack setting for the indicator...

Hello, alko!

The only way you can transmit this value is through a strategy's input.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, TraderWalrus!

I’m afraid there’s no such pre-built signal or any other study. You will need to create it yourself or search for it on the Internet, as there’s quite a number of free available studies written in EasyLanguage/PowerLanguage.

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw!

I've requested the information from you that will be needed for reproducing the case on our end by e-mail. Please, continue discussing this case with me there.

Fbertram,

It should be possible to pass the data from C# to Excel. Please, search for the relevant instructions on the Internet.

Hello, wzero! An order may get partially filled if the volume is not sufficient for this order to be filled fully. As for the second issue, we do not modify the data that we receive from a data feed. If eSignal sends the data that is a multiple of 100, then it will be necessary to change the quantit...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, fbertram! I’m afraid this can’t be done from commissions’ settings, as commission is applied to orders/trades, and it’s not calculated on the monthly or annual basis. The only way you can include this fee to the commission is to know the exact number of trades your strategy performs within a ...

Anna MultiCharts

Hello, wilkinsw! Orders that have final status (filled, cancelled, rejected) cannot be converted. In the AA mode the countdown for conversion starts when an order is placed on the chart and submitted to the broker. In the SA mode the countdown starts after an order has been submitted to the broker. ...
