Any feedback on this idea? I imagine it wouldn't be terribly hard to implement.

MultiCharts doesn't provide such tools.
I guess there are no plans to provide such scripting hooks?

Is there a way to create a new chart window from script?

Basically I would like a way to script MultiCharts itself, so that based on a condition in a chart, I want to open up a new chart window. Is this possible?

You should set 1/100000 price scale in QM and re-create a chart or reload. It will make the change you need. MultiCharts is event-based program, it redraws a screen as soon as new tick comes. There is no time-based redraw. We are able to provide fine performance even with tick by tick updates. I wi...

I think I know what might be wrong. It could be that the other app is moving the tick chart based on the 5th decimal in the price and MC is only using the first 4. I have set the EURUSD in the quote manager window to use 5 difits, but the price scale in MultiCharts is stuck on 4. How can I change th...

Chart updating slowly and skipping ticks

I am running MultiCharts against my IQ Feed. Looking at one chart with one symbol, EURUSD, I am comparing the tick chart to another charting app I have. The other app is updating its ticks a split second before MultiCharts, and there are times MultiCharts, sometimes as much as half a second quicker....

Some features that MultiCharts *really* needs

MultiCharts is a great app. I am struggling a bit with some things, such as the limitations of EasyLanguage. But there are a few things it really needs IMO. Those things are the following: A way to draw shapes on the chart using EasyLanguage. You can draw trend lines, you should be able to draw the ...

I finaly got this working. It required a lot of effort in the VC++ project settings, including creating a .def file for exporting the symbols. If anyone wants me to send a sample project that is non-MFC based, let me know.

Thanks to all who lent and hand for support :)

before checking the sample dll, simply look into the script how the DLL is declard. this probably solves your problem. it is simply the same as in TS. Well I finally got the call to work, but it crashes. I looked at your example but its MFC and I'm using VC++ Express, which doesn't come with MFC. H...

Anyone have an example of C/C++ DLL that's callable from MC?

I have tried to create the most simple c/c++ dll and MC can't find the function in the DLL. It finds the DLL though. But not the entry point for the function. I can call functions in USER32.DLL, so I know it can be done. I am even using the same calling convention for the function, WINAPI, which tra...

The docs in MultiChart say that IQFeed has some limitations with multiple simultaneous symbols. Can anyone comment on this?

Hi marketz, It is possible. You can call functions from dll libraries written by you. You can do pretty much what you want in these functions. For more information, I would recommend referring to EasyLanguage manuals. A few of them can be found on our help and tutorials page at hwww.tssupport.com/m...

Is there a way to draw shapes on the chart canvas with EL?

I would like to be able to draw lines, boxes and ovals on the chart canvas, using the same shape like features that are on the toolbar. Is there a way to do this EasyLanguage, is this possible?

I know you can draw Arrows and text, but I can't see anything else about shapes.

Is it possible to call a .NET object from EasyLanguage?

I have a lot of code written in .NET and it would save me a lot of work to re-write it in a C dll. Can EasyLanguage get to anything other than a standard C dll?

Why is PowerLanguage Editor in MCFX Pro missing the docs?

I noticed that the PowerLanguage editor that comes with MultiCharts has a tab with documentation called "dictionary". The editor that comes with MCFX Pro, for which I'm paying, has no documentation. Why is that? I now have to keep both open, which is a bit annoying.

Is it possible to read a file for input using EasyLanguage?

I would like to open a file and read some data from it. Is this possible to do? I am not sure what is best, to do it on every bar, or if it's even possible to do this when the indicator is first loaded. I'm new to EasyLanguage, but have years of C++, C#, Python, etc. Thanks for any suggestions you c...
