Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
The feedback app really looks good.
Regarding the screenshot, I think we should have the possibility to attached a custom image.
Maybe we want to show something very specific...

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
I just installed Beta 2 (I had beta1 installed) and I noticed that I'm NOT getting trade confirmations when using ChartTrader (Ladies voice is missing) I just get a "beep" instead.. Is there an option to turn her voice on or off ? (I tried files, preferences, and alerts are turned on). I'm not sure where else to look.

Check Windows Sounds (on Win10 just search for system sounds and you'll go directly to it) option and see if MC sounds are correctly assigned.
It has happened before, after an installation, sounds get unassigned.

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
What's up with "MC-1497 - New Auto Trading and Backtesting engine" ?
It keeps getting postponed release after release, but as much as I appreciate improvements and enhanced visual settings, I would definitely favor improved back testing... when shall we see this request happening?
Cheers,
Thierry

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
Just did the update from MCx64 9.1 release to MCx64 10 beta2.
First impression is, it´s faster in general. And a nice fresh look.
In powerlanguage editor, I made a lot of folders in the studies "tree" to file my indicators/signals and functions and group them to my likings. Those folders are gone after the update and my ind/sig/func are now on alphabetical order in the "tree".
Is there a way to get my folders back. And is there something I need to do to prevent this from happening with future updates?

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
Thank Arnie,
I found the files. There are two files:
custom_folders.bin and custom_folders_v2.bin. The V2 is the newest.
Do I need to rename this or delete the newest to revert back to the old situation?

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
I read in the list of new features that it is possible to emulate stop/stop limit order locally.
Found the settings in the preferences.
How do I place a stop limit with the chart trader and keep this locally?

I had the same problem once and I remember I had to rename a file but to tell you the truth I don't remember the exact one. I believe that the file ended up corrupted and since I have always an updated backup, I had to replace it but this might not be your case.
From now on, have always a backup of that file. For those that like to have their own studies organized by folders and subfolders, this file is priceless
First remove one of the files from the folder so MC don't get confused and test both of them, separately, renaming the V2 but saving a copy of it first.
Remember of doing all of this with all MC instances closed.

Hello evdl,I read in the list of new features that it is possible to emulate stop/stop limit order locally.
Found the settings in the preferences.
How do I place a stop limit with the chart trader and keep this locally?
One can now switch between native and emulated Stop and Stop-Limit orders for both auto trading and manual trading. This feature requires realtime data subscription on your broker account.
When a stop order is emulated - once the stop price level is reached by the corresponding ask or bid series, a market order is sent to the broker.
When a stop-limit order is emulated - once the stop price level is reached by the corresponding ask or bid series, a limit order is sent to the broker.
In case Stop and/or Stop-Limit order emulation is enabled - the emulated OCO group is used, disregard the broker profile/autotrading plugin settings.
To enable the Stop and/or Stop-Limit order emulation for the auto trading go to Format-> Strategy Properties-> Auto trading tab-> Automate order execution settings.
To enable the Stop and/or Stop-Limit order emulation for the manual trading go to File-> Preferences-> Trading tab->Manual Trading options. In order to apply the changes one needs to disconnect the broker profile and reconnect it.

evdl, unfortunately the only way to get back the folders setup is to restore the file from backup (if it was created before the update).Thank Arnie,

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
I am using the same settings for the custom futures for over 2 years but since Build 13287 i am getting some messages after opening the workspace "Message: Incorrect data might be formed...". The setting are correct and havent changed in the last month year.
Also i am getting some messages to add i.e. the Z contract for some futures but these are already in the Quotemanager for months.

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
@SP
If I remember right there was a solution for the message to add specific symbols. May I'm wrong but it was by changing a registry-entry or so. Please take a look in the forum.
@Support
I have another issue with DDE sources by changing the chart resolution. When I open a symbol the 1st time, the data I requested will be shown in the chart. Once I change to resolution, the data are literally 'gone' and will never come back. Even when I close MC, QM and the whole VM.
Please find a recorded vid about the issue here : https://vimeo.com/185938629
Kind Regards

You need to have only tick data for the instrument in the database. You can try the following for one instrument first:
Please remove all minute and daily data for one of the instruments in the database, disable collecting minute and daily data in the "Fields to collect" menu for it. Then restart all MultiCharts processes and plot a chart for this instrument. Now all historical data from the database + realtime data should be plotted on your chart.

You need to add Z16 for @SMI. As for the @CL & @FCE - please send me the workspace you are using and the following files from C:\ProgramData\TS Support\ "your MultiCharts version" \Databases\ to support@multicharts.com

Hello all,

We were unable to replicate this behavior with detached windows on our end. Please send me the workspace you are using and attach screenshots demonstrating it on 4k screen and on non 4k screen to support@multicharts.com
As for the Data window - this issue has been confirmed. There is no ETA for the fix at the moment.

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
OPT is not saving the columns last position.
Everytime we open the workspace all columns get back to their default position.
Very annoying!

This is something we are going to work on in the next minor platform update (after 10.0).
Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
I'm using CQG API with MC10 beta2.
I'm finding that I can't get any OCOs that involve a stop order to work in MC10 beta 2. I also have the Eurex regulatory ID hotfix applied, fyi.
Do any users out there have evidence to the contrary? I'm probably the only one with the hotfix, but I'd be surprised if that effects things.
I can't even get a "breakout up/fade strategy" in the "place order" window to work. Don't know if that's related.
Any OCOs that avoid stop orders (and use stoplimits instead) work. Locally emulated stop orders may help (but are not for me).
My interim solution is replace stop orders with stoplimit orders.

Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
wilkinsw, please run the Feedback app from MultiCharts folder in the Start menu when this happens to send us the logs and dumps for analysis.So far, everytime I've shutdown MC 10, the PL editor process doesn't terminate.
Re: MULTICHARTS 10.0 BETA 2
Can you shed more light on what boxes I need to select for various issues.
MC went into a cycle of repeated hangs this morning. I went to submit logs using the feedback tab and selected:
-logs
-mini dump
-upload
This process then slowed MC even further. After 15min I had to cancel it as it was taking forever trying "GZIP Archive" 12GB of info!
When issues with the platform arise I often will need to restart ASAP to avoid catastrophe. I don't half 30mins to upload logs, unfortunately.
If MC becomes non responsive again, what options from the feedback tab should I select that will get the info MC needs AND will be time efficient.
Thanks!
