Volume Delta chart type

Volume Delta (comparable to FootPrint®* chart) chart type is now available. This chart lets you see how many trades were done at ask and bid on each price level within a bar. The bars look like boxes with appropriate numbers displayed within them. There are two calculation methods: “Ask Traded vs Bid Traded” and “Up Ticks vs Down Ticks”. Three display options available: “Bid and Ask Volume”, “Total Volume”, and “Delta (Ask – Bid Volume)”. You can also the numbers as percent.

Cumulative Delta chart type

Cumulative Delta (also known as CD chart) chart type is now available. Cumulative Delta is based on direction-based volume accumulation, not on price. The scale of the chart shows volume and bars represent accumulated delta (buy – sell) of the volume for specified resolution. In trending markets CD will move into positive or negative values, while it will oscillate around zero in non-trending markets.

Volume Profile

Volume Profile (also known as VP) was complete rethought and built from the ground up. It’s now an advanced chart attribute with multiple options and display methods, and it’s available on every chart. Volume Profile tracks trading activity volume across different price levels and varying time length.

Complete Volume Profile description – http://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Volume_Profile

TimePriceOpportunity (TPO) indicator available

TimePriceOpportunity (comparable to MarketProfile®** indicator) is an indicator that is similar to Volume Profile, but typically with slightly different price levels of importance. Letters are used to symbolize time brackets. The trading day is divided into 30 minute periods, called Time Price Opportunities, or TPO’s. Each time the market trades at a price that hasn’t occurred in a prior TPO, a letter is marked at that price. One of the potential uses is to help identify prices that have form resistance and support levels.

Flexible Commission Rules

You can now add flexible commission rules to make backtesting more precise. With varying combinations, it’s now possible to account for virtually any commission setup around the globe. Commissions can be set though a new window in Strategy Properties. Rule options include calculating commission in real-time, after every trade or once every day, resetting volume counter after every trade/monthly, commission limits and per Trade/Contract modes in dollar amounts and percent.

Complete Commissions description – http://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Commissions

Choose your currency for calculating PnL

You can now see PnL calculated and displayed in the currency of your choice. If you want to see PnL in JPY for instance, changes will be seen on charts, DOM and in the Order and Position Tracker. Current exchange rates are continuously pulled from our FX servers, so there’s no need to enter the conversion rate manually.

Order and Position Tracker improvements

“Market Position History at Broker” tab was added to OPT. It tracks how MP changed over time directly on the account. This helps resolve any questions as to why an order could have been sent for X contracts, but the MP changed for Y contracts.

“Alerts” tab was added to OPT. It tracks and displays all alerts generated by scripts. Essentially, it provides a complete history of all alerts generated by scripts, so you don’t need to worry about missing an alert.

“Accounts” tab in Order and Position Tracker can now be shown in any user-defined currency.

Second-by-second playback for 64-bit MultiCharts

Second-by-second mode for Data Playback was added to 64-bit MultiCharts. In global mode the tick charts do not currently update in-sync with time-based charts.

AvaTrade data feed and broker added

AvaTrade (formerly AvaFX) data feed and broker were added. AvaTrade is broker that is well known around the world. They currently offer Forex trading and quotes, but plan to integrate futures as well.

WeBank data feed and broker added

WeBank was established in 1999 and is one of the leading Italian banks and online brokerages with over 80,000 clients.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) support for Email Alerts in indicators

Added Secure Socket Layer (SSL) support to email alerts. This means you can now use most modern email providers for email alerts, such as Gmail.

Change save locations for databases, studies, logs and file cache

Users can now define preferred paths and locations for MultiCharts’ databases, studies, logs and file cache. This may be especially useful if you have an SSD drive or not enough permissions in certain shared environments.

QuickAccess button

Quick access dropdown was added to the chart for recently used symbols and resolutions. You can now quickly switch between symbols and resolution directly from the Status Line of the chart.

Exit Strategy behavior changed

Exit strategy behavior was changed:
1) Strategies that were applied to active orders no longer “jump” onto the active position after the parent order was filled. They remain active and keep protecting orders that were generated by the parent order.

2) If an exit strategy is applied to the open position then everything works almost like before – position changes are monitored, but there’s a minor nuance. When calculating reaction to position changes it’s taken into account that there are strategies applied to filled orders and their effect on the overall position. In other words, strategies applied to the position protect the remainder that is not protected by strategies applied to individual orders.

3) Strategies applied to positions and strategies applied to orders will be visually different on both on the chart and in the DOM.
More info here – http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11446

4) If a position was opened by an order that has an exit strategy attached from a flat position, then this strategy is applied to the entire position and “protects” it.
