Spread trading and MultiCharts.NET strategy report
I am an MC user but not (yet) an MC.NET user. It is my understanding that, with MC.NET, it is possible to write strategies that trade spreads between different markets (i.e., going long AAPL and short GOOG). When you run these strategies, does the MC.NET strategy report show the performance for the spread strategy just like the regular MC shows performance for a single-market strategy?

Re: Spread trading and MultiCharts.NET strategy report
Hello Furytrader,
MultiCharts .Net shows strategy performance report per instrument, same as regular MultiCharts.
Even if you send unmanaged orders for a different instrument - the report is only for the instrument on your data1. You can plot a chart for your secondary instrument and open the strategy performance report for it. But there is no combined report for the spread strategy results.

Didn't you use Market System Analyser (MSA from Adaptrade)? If so, you could export the results of a spread strategy to a text file, and let MSA (with the Reload option) automatically form a Performance Report.I am an MC user but not (yet) an MC.NET user.
