MC3.0 Intraday Price bars late to reflect actual price
MC3.0 Intraday Price bars late to reflect actual price
I noticed that intraday pricebars does not reflect trading price as much as 4-6 tick. it only reflects after certain amt of volume change. is there a way to correct it. IB shows 4-6 tick high/low than mcchart in pricebar shows.after change in volume pricebar will suddenly change
I'm glad someone else saw this. I had this issue with NQ but ES appeared fine. I reinstalled MC and deleted the old DB so I cannot reproduce. I ran it side by side with AB and you could see the difference. Just saw this today also. I will not know if I still have the problem until the market opens tomorrow.

Hi guys,
The problem that you have experienced is related to the fact that MultiCharts only generates a new tick when Volume in TWS changes (because there can't be a tick without a certain volume associated with it). For some reason, Volume in TWS does not always change when it should. Thus MultiCharts can't generate new ticks.
In future, to avoid this problem we'll add TradeSize as an option for ticks (instead of Volume).
Hope the above clarifies the situation.

laaate bar price
Marina;
after spending 2 hours with sergee oninteractive help , he also said same as you,however , i ran mc side by ib chart and SC . no other charting has problem except mc. with real time data bar price must show settl, i.e. close price.also,every settled tick must have volume. this is a serous matter for day traders and mc must resolv this issue asap. thanks valabhi

Comparisons of data in MultiCharts to that in QuoteTracker or SC cannot be used as a valid test of accuracy. At least MultiCharts (unlike QuoteTracker) plots bars correctly. I can't comment on the behavior of SC because I don't know enough about how their program works. What I can say though, is that associating tick formation to volume changes results in accuracy. This principle has worked fine until the recent changes in IB. As I mentioned above, we will create another option (to use TradeSize) to avoid the current problem in future.
prev beta works fine

I hope you can make an interim fix, before the next beta.Hi guys,

The problem has been driving me insane.
